A rather nondescript image which was captured on yet another wet and miserable day. However I did like the both the reflection and the every increasing circles in the sodden tarmac surface hence its capture.

A very big thank you for all your great and interesting comments following yesterdays upload. I try to vary my uploads as much as possible in order not only to fulfil my need to capture something different but also to share with you just a tint snapshot of my evert increasing catalogue of photographs.


Not to clever this morning following a bad night, so I shall be taking things extremely easy today.

I hope as always that you all have a great day, and take everything which comes your way with a positive and open mind where possible.

Regards Nathan Grin

Now this I like, more than yesterdays. Plain, simple & effective. Have a good day, friend, you could always watch England beat Scotland!!! (I hope!) As we are a family with half Scottish & half English places of birth you can imagine what the comments are like!

There is something about drops of water falling on water that is fascinating, the circular ripples extending outwards one on top of another; landing randomly you have captured it nicely Nathan, like it well done, regards Leon.GrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrin
