The word biblical comes to mind. Holy cow, it’s been raining cats and dogs all day. With intermittent torrential downpours that make it impossible to even step outside. And it looks like this isn’t going to let up until the weekend. Everyone says that this is a good thing, because Sevilla always needs rain, but I think deep down people wish it could always be sunny.

Me? I’d just like to get my laundry dried.

Isn’t this a fabulous photo by Raúl Díaz? (click to enlarge). He’s a twitter friend and “neighbour” and took this pic today in the centre of Sevilla.

This week’s Friday Foto Finder challenge is “tracks”.

All around Sevilla you can find tracks that go nowhere. Obviously they used to, like these ones which were the old railway lines that went to the port. See how they just stop at the bottom of this photo of the newly renovated riverside? I wonder why they bother to leave them.

What do you think?

This week’s Friday Foto Finder challenge is “street”.

This is a shot of Sierpes street in Sevilla, taken last night on my way home.

And this is the corner of my street, taken on a different night on my way home.

The iPhone isn’t the best for taking night shots, but usually late at night it’s all I have with me.
I particularly like the way streets look, and feel, at night.
