I am afraid of fires and want our typical rain and cold back. <br />I like the photo of deserted street very much.<br />I used your photo as reference for my sketch, is it ok? Considering that there is no commercial interest in my art, I thought it was not big deal to not inform you in advance.

I particularly like the shape the buildings cut into the sky and the stepped shadows on the ground.<br /><br />I hope you get your sunshine back soon, though not so much that it starts fires again. If you're wondering where the sun has gone, I have it here. We're in drought conditions after two really sunny years. We've only had an inch of rain since the winter here in Norfolk (remember, this is England and we usually get Seattle's rainfall).divehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12938980502783421961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-59460027560006489102011-06-11T02:04:40.687-07:002011-06-11T02:04:40.687-07:00In my town Enervating weather: morning with a mar...In my town Enervating weather: morning with a marvellous sun, and in the afternoon ALWAYS rains.

Shoot, I can't look out the window without putting on SPF 50 sunscreen. <br /><br />We're all looking for clouds to provide some relief, even though like the storm that just blew through, they may bring hail and wind strong enough to blow your doors off. At least it's cooler - for about 5 minutes.<br /><br />Later this morning, when the sun comes back, I will ask it to return to Pasadena, if you will ask the clouds to send an emissary with kinder temperatures.<br /><br />WV: morne.
