Walking in a storm. (Weekend Street/Reflections # 124)

Rome, Italy                      Piazza Navona, The Fountain of Neptune

Standing in front of the fountain of Neptune during a rain storm. The narrow street between the tall buildings offers some shelter from the wind and rain.

 If you enlarge the picture you will be able to see an imposing statue of Neptune lunging his trident.

Neptune was the Roman god of waters and seas, who controlled winds and storms.

                                                   Have a great weekend!

Now you can link reflections and/or street photography. 

Please no posed pictures, portraits, animals, etc. unless there is a reflection.

"Street photography is a genre of photography that records everyday life in a public place. The very publicness of the setting enables the photographer to take candid pictures of strangers, often without their knowledge."

  1. C'est si bon de voir une photo de pluie quand on est à peine au mois de mai et que déjà les premières chaleurs sont accablantes

  4. Nice photo, James. It reminds me of Dubrovnik, Croatia, with its narrow streets and tall buildings.
    When I was running I liked running in the rain, I reminded myself of a deer running in the rain, much fun.

  9. Nice composition with the man and soggy pooch as focal points. Quite a downpour. Neptune might need to go spear-fishing with his trident.
