Rainy Day

Bench under the rain, via Magenta, LivornoA Sunday of unceasing rain, but I am here in Via Magenta, under the awning of a shop, taking pictures of an iron bench.
Never give up, never surrender!

“Never give up, never surrender” is not my motto but a quote from the science fiction comedy “Galaxy Quest”, a 1999 parody inspired by the television series Star Trek.

And for that you deserve a hug, VP :). At least, you're under the awning.It's been raining on and off, too. But I do like taking photos under that weather.

Benches are great! I'm glad you did not give up...if you can get out, rain makes for super photos and this is one!

Wonderful picture. The rain actually adds something extra to the photo. And yes, even when the weather is bad there's still opportunity to shoot a little...as long as it's possible to get under cover when it gets too annoying.

Whell for Italy it is easy to say never give up.. The weather will become sunny anyway! But for now we have seemed to snatch it away from you guys...:)

Funny you dicovered the IJ, but you are right it is the only letter which makes as stand out...

Cheers from Marcel

Hi,
I'm discovering your blog and as I love benches and rain, this last picture is a kind of paradise to me!
By the way, I looked at your other posts and I think I could answer to your question about the four musketeers in the park.:-))

Mistery solved beyond every reasonable doubt!

Ha! That's one of my favorite quotes - use it all the time at work. Nice, lonely rainy day shot.
