VSOE Special April 20

Not the best day for photos. Taken from the Sheendale Road pedestrian bridge between North Sheen and Richmond stations at 12.55pm. If nothing else I caught some streaks of the torrential rain which later turned into yet another massive hailstorm:

Did anyone else get soaked along the route today?

 

Yep, break in the clouds before and after, peeing down when the train appeared...
Ho hum...

Caught the train at Putney running a couple of minutes down. Rather luckily I didn't get caught in the rain! Will post a picture when I get to my laptop.

Very atmouspheric thought the photos in the rain, like them. I got quite lucky, some sun at Reigate but a electric parked in the other platform waiting to turn back! I was out of my store today visiting other shops so arranged a visit in Horley for 1.30pm to give me time to get to Reigate after, didn't think to check if anything would be parked there!

I was videoing at Putney, the first bridge after the station (Charlwood Road), and I needed the brolly to keep the rain off the camera!

This was my effort as it coasted through Clapham Junction on the way back. Another stormy sky drops onto London!
