Making a Call - A Man Seeks Shelter from the Rain

A rainy day in Seattle is not unusual, even in summer. Here a man occupies a small dry spot against the Louis Vuitton store to make a call. Most people think it rains continually in Seattle, but actually we don’t even fall in the top ten cities for rainfall, we are 44th. What is striking about Seattle is that we while we average 158 days of measurable rain, we average 226 cloudy days and 82 partly cloudy days. That’s just 48 sunny days. When it does rain, it usually is a light, drizzly sort of rain that falls from low heavy slate grey skies. Locals deal with the rain by carrying umbrellas, wearing hats or coats with hoods. Myself, I’m a hood or hat wearer or I let the rain have its way with my hair, umbrellas are too cumbersome. What about you, do you use an umbrella?

    That does sound like a lot of gray days, but in Alabama, I would welcome more clouds during the 95 degree temps. You have more good photo op hours too. That is a great shot (as usual). Do you use your tripod most of the time, or do you just have that steady hand?

  2. WOW this is a superb Picture – In all – not too much that is disturbing the eyes when looking at it. At same time a great commercial? thihi.. And the man is completely dry – marvellous!!!

    Kind regards

  3. Yes, I’m an umbrella-toting person even when I roam the streets taking photos in the rain.

    I love this shot, Madge; reminds me of NYC’s side streets of Greenwich Village. Seattle looks like a very photogenic city.

  4. Great street photo! All the clouds make for good rich colors but, I have to say, if I lived out there I would have one bad hair YEAR…LOL I’d just have to let the natural curl take over. Again, this is a great shot…love the composition (again) and love those popping oranges on the right.

  5. No umbrella for me, either. I’m a hat/hood person. I tried balancing a small umbrella while shooting.. didn’t much work. My Canon 7d is fairly waterproof, thank goodness, ’cause like me it does get wet.
    PS.. I love our rain!
