Waiting in the rain, a photo from Milan, Lombardia

Photographer's Note

A group of tourists huddled under umbrellas in the pouring rain waiting for guidance from their tour leader. Not a happy prospect, and even worse if you only have a few hours available for sightseeing.

Seen on the Piazza del Duomo in Milan.

Hi Stephen,
Nice photo about the travelling. What can you do - sometimes it rains, som etimes it is a fine weather. FDor me always a joy of travelling. But when I see such big groups following the gide with umbrella (not against rain:)), I am glad that I am still fit enough to travel alone.
Warm regrads MAlgo

Hi Stephen!

Very natural photo taken during your trip to Italy. With a group of people standing in the rain in the foreground and the interesting building and monument in the foreground. Very expressive shot.

Best regards
Have a nice sunny day!

Hello Stephen, my neighbor today,
A really daily life scene seen many times around the well-known landmarks. You had a great idea, especially with capturing these colorful umbrellas which built quite nice visual effect. TFS!

Have a nice day!

Bonjour Stephen
Le temps n'était pas joyeux mais les couleurs au premier plan ont permis de réaliser une image attrayante avec du bleu les teintes chaudes des visages.
Bon dimanche
Amicalement

Hello Stephen,
oh I do like this,even on the most horrible of days weather wise there are photo opportunities and you have captured the whole atmosphere of a special moment perfectly,the colourful brollies combined with the blank looks create a memorable holiday shot.
Regards Les.

Hello Stephen - I was about to post a similar shot taken in Florence ... it can wait for another day. To me this represents two of my pet hates. Large tour groups flooding small areas led by loud guides who think that they have right of way and crush individual sightseers in their stampede to 'see it all'. And ... large crowds armed with umbrellas (mind your eyes)! A well managed shot with nicely balanced tones and colour.

Have a good Sunday

Witaj Stephen!
Curious scene.
Waiting in the rain for pleasure should not be.
Good frame and colors.
I like monument.

Waiting fort the guide... a scene i had known from past trips, and under the rain as well, Stephen.
Nice taken the moment, faces expression with an inquisitive look, were watching you by the way.
Idea well applied. Good evening,
Ike
