After the rain

Backblip. After a sunny morning, the clouds rolled in, and torrential rain fell as the storm passed over. I was glad I'd decided not to go out for a walk. At 6 o'clock, the sun suddenly came out, and I thought this was a great opportunity to nip out for some wet flowers. But having done that, I realised there was an excellent combination of sunshine and dark clouds. So what to do? Head for the nearest pylon! So it ended up being half an hour rather than five minutes. Unfortunately I hadn't planned for this, so I had the wrong lens on, and no replacement when the camera battery ran out. I did get a chance for a few photos, had to do a lot of zooming with my feet. Extra is the view in the other direction: I had to desaturate it a bit so that it didn't look wildly unrealistic.
