Ever the optimist... I strode out in pouring rain along the deserted seafront seeking a view.Then a break in the cloud,  a puddle close by - dropping to the ground, camera ready - "click"........got it! The rain clears and soon 'fair weather' photographers re emerge to photograph the damp pier and vast open sunny horizons.Checking the image in my camera's LCD screen I smile and move on.....camera at the ready.
