Description
Captured way back on 2/19/05, from my garage, looking out onto the alley adjacent to my condominium unit.
This wasn't the last time it rained in my area, but it was the last time we had a heavy downpour, which really didn't last that long, perhaps about ten minutes. I'm glad I recorded this event just to prove that we once had rain, whether heavy or light. There was no postwork applied in this sequence of pics. It's been about four years since we have had anything substantial to give us moisture. Whatever liquid that was headed our way all ended up in Seattle.
Au revoir.

Shoot, I live in Humboldt County, where 40-50 inches of rain a year isn't uncommon and some places get WAY more than that. I don't think we've had that much in the last 4 years. I do remember what it looks like and it's a lot like this!!

Wish you could pull out that rain, Harry.... I feel for California - they really have it bad with the drought conditions.

Need it badly!!!!

Unfortunately in California (and some other spots too) it's too much too fast, and you end up losing it to runoff. Great captures of this downpour, Harry; and did you know we have huge underground water magnets up here to attract the clouds away from the south so we can have all the rain, because we're greedy that way ;p

when this went up, I thought, are you serious? This is current LA??? Then I read that it was from over 10 years ago, and I realized it was an old series. (Ah well...) For garage shots, they look like you were standing in the midst of the rain. And the rain itself is very dramatic, in the 'sheets' it creates in your camera; and in the pocked flood it created on the driveway. A really good collection of rain shots, with all the effects that rain creates. And the car lights make a fine contrast to all that gray and blue. (And the rain looks like it's falling straight down---I assume you didn't have a lot of wind. Meaning, in Chicago, a windless rain is extremely rare, and if I made a shot of our rains, the lines would all be diagonals.) I love the flood of number 4, and the deluge of the last shot. You got the feel of heavy rain. And I'm sorry you haven't had anything like this, since. It must be very hard to live with the drought you all have. It makes those of us who are fortunate to get rain feel very privileged. I'm really glad you posted these. They really feel like rain.

Saw shots of California in the papers here, dry as a bone except for massively over paid movie stars homes, brilliant lawns, trees green etc.. Have they no idea? Shame really.. Great shots you've caught but as you mention, so long ago.. Rob
