Sun splatter.

Posted by MaryB (Staffordshire, United Kingdom) on 11 August 2007 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

I've had to stop posting at the weekends because I've been so busy at the moment.
But I just posted some for this weekend.
Taken on the drive home from a day out. I just liked the look of the rain on the car windscreen, lit up by the sun that was setting :) thought the sky was pretty dramatic too!
A BIG thank you for all your comments on my photos over the last week :)

Love the way the water droplets have caught the light like fireworks. Good shot.

@Richard_Irwin: Thats what caught my eye Richard, I thought it was something different, and the weather changed so suddenly, there was a real gloom in the sky.
Thank you :)
