Rainy Days IV

Rain Stops Play?
Wandering round the neighbourhood in the pouring rain these deserted tennis courts caught my eye. The colours of the sky were reflected in the water lying on their surface. They looked almost like a lake and had such a sheen on them that it seemed worth a shot.

We haven't actually had rain all week...I took these on a couple of evenings only. We get very little rain in Calgary so it's actually a refreshing treat when we do have a downpour.
