The forecast said rain around noon, so I left nearly four hours before that, but boy was that a mistake. It rained pretty much all day. After a 100 minute wet bike ride I parked the bike under the golden bridge at Vattentorget which is part of the old town and went for an umbrella walk. Visiting the Christmas market and walking through different alleyways in Gamla stan, snapping away left and right. When I could not take it any more, I cycled for home. That was the worst bicycle experience of my life. It took two hours, and during that ride all I could think about was a warm shower and a warm meal. Arriving home, it took me five minutes just to undress because I was soaking wet and quite cold. But the shower was nice. Next the washing machine gave up, and it was sort of replaced, I now have two machines, one for washing and one for drying. It took 48 hours for my boots to dry and while in Stockholm yesterday something was smelling, and I realized that it was my Winter jacket and my gloves so they went into the machines yesterday afternoon. And guess what, it is raining again today.

I for one, appreciate your hard work getting these great rainy day photos. I love them. I can feel the chill in the air just looking at your shots.
Great shots even though the day sounds horrible.
Nice shots on a very rainy day. You sure are tough when it comes to photography and the weather beats down on you.
Rain really casts a different feel
Your suffering paid off. These are really good....the 6th one is spectacular. Stay dry...and warm. Thanks for your efforts.
