Apparently if the seagulls are sitting down, it means rain is on the way !!

As I said yesterday...  I have to know.  I can't park the issue until later.  I don't have that facility.

There's a in / out queue and it has to be rapid or the whole 'system' malfunctions.   Likely an ADHD symptom with added extras. 

Its as if I figure what happened then have to go prove it (all within a 5 min time frame)  It can be arduous though. 

You know, I wanted to search about it because I got curious but I'm studying so I didn't have the time. And there you are, giving me all the answers and being really analytical too. Ah, that's so nice, really! And you're gonna share a photo too. Amazing!

Apparently 'Singing in the Rain' was recorded at MGM studios, Culver City, California.   

In 1952, the year it was made, they got  22.9 inches of rain which is about what London UK gets in an average year.

I'd say it's unlikely that the weather Gods chose to dispense rain that heavy just when the film studios chose to make a film with rain in the title.

From the web:

To make the rain, there had to be big stretches of pipes with holes in them, and water pressure. You had to control from the valves how much pressure you put into the pipes, just like in your bathroom  (Directors Guild of America)

Might not be water in the most pure form but there's worse things !! 

Hahaha!

Do you think that's fake rain though?

My thoughts exactly when I watched this video for the first time. At least you could be singing in real rain today! 

Do you think that's fake rain though?

If you go to about 3.05 in the video, he's seen clearly swinging that umbrella around and there's two large puddles with no raindrops hitting them - yet there's torrential rain appearing on the left hand side.

I bet there's someone high above with a massive hose who didn't get their direction right and they hoped nobody would notice (but I did !)  


But yeah - why can't you sing in the rain??  It's only water after all.  Might not be water in the most pure form but there's worse things !!   

Yes, they do! Here, listen to this to get inspired!

Some people sing in the rain, don't they?   I think I have done, possibly twice.  However I'm not sure I'm up for that today ! 

Because of the rainbows of course!

I've a feeling I could end up drenched with compensatory photographs of rainbows !

I like this possibility!  

Anything could happen.  I've a feeling I could end up drenched with compensatory photographs of rainbows !

It's suddenly got brighter - there's even (small) patches of blue under all the cloud, so perhaps today won't be a disaster after all.  

That's great! Here it's getting darker and darker. But I love the rain, so I don't care. 

It's suddenly got brighter - there's even (small) patches of blue under all the cloud, so perhaps today won't be a disaster after all.  

You can actually get some pretty effective photos in the rain (and peaceful ones too as it keeps the marauding holidaymakers away!)  

However.   My mind keeps changing.  Yesterday was meant to be more beach huts or sea views but ended up being seagulls.  Anything could - in theory - happen !  

Sure you do! I'm guessing you have a big collection of photos (as I do too), don't you? I've always valued beauty, that's why I want to capture it when I see it. So, let's see which one of your beautiful pictures you'll share!

Flowers? Animals? The sea? Something completely different?

But I have options (of each) as you might suspect

The weather doesn't look so good at the moment

Same here. It's going to be a rainy day.

The weather doesn't look so good at the moment so it may need to be a photo from a previous day.  

Unless I can be inventive with clouds & potentially rain too !!  

 I'm wondering about today's photo. Flowers? Animals? The sea? Something completely different? What will it be?

Never thought of you as the argumentative type!

Thanks, I try to be inventive and resourceful !!

But I've told lots of people, I even had a major row with an ex about it, ever after I kept going on about it just to anoy him
