The barbecue summer, (now infamously) forecast by the UK Met Office in April, has sadly not materialised . The woman below, though, is making the best of some 5 precious minutes of real sunshine:
The daily chase for a few minutes of sunshine has been the one thing I remember best about summer in Britain in recent years...
I think Robin's Summer Stock Sunday will have a lot of summer stock from sunnier climes.
I don't think I ever noticed the sun or lack of it until I moved to England. I'm still loving Cornwall despite the rain...it does keep everything wild and green. which are tradeoffs worth making in my opinion.
That's a wonderful photo. I know you have to grab the sun when you can get it there....we've got a surplus here and I'd gladly send you some, if only I could figure out how!
The encroaching shade really drives your point home - great image!
I hope you have some sunnier days ahead. (Actually, I hope we both too - New England has been terribly soggy and gray as well this summer. I'm glad I got in plenty of sunshine before I came over here.)
I started my working life as a film maker. Then I began to feel useless and became a scientist instead. I love my new job but I can't give up cameras completely. Now I have accumulated so many photos that they're quite squashed in their digital box - so please click on them for instant liberation. If you want to know what cameras I use you have to click to see the complete profile.

What a wonderful capture. She really is basking in the sun. Hope you get a few more rays your way.
Love this shot!

Notice the other walkers are wearing short sleeve shirts and this woman has on long sleeves in the sun:) Fun contracts in sun and shade.
