This photograph was taken when I was in Central London the other day. I’d been at an event discussing family finances in a building near Liverpool Street Station.
When I came to leave, it was throwing it down. It was one of those stereotypical rainy London days; it was grey, wet and the clouds were hanging low in the sky.
As I made my way down the staircase I passed a filthy window and through it I could see this building in the near-distance. The effect of the rain and the dirt was very eye catching and so I took this snap on my phone’s camera.
I then ran it through one of the filters on Instagram (sorry, can’t remember which I used!). This image was the final product. I love the way the building stands out amidst the raindrops. It’s not the most flattering portrayal of London, but even the most vibrant of cities has rainy days.
I have linked this image to the #MySundayPhoto linky hosted by the OneDad3Girls blog. I implore you to click on the badge and take a look. It’s a great linky.

It’s a fab picture, it kind of looks like it was taken about 100 years ago, but I like that about it!
i like it! that’s great. there’s something about rain running down a window…
Ahh pretty pretty London! I love how it always looks so stunning no matter what the weather’
Very striking!
I can almost hear the sound of the rain on the window =)
I love raindrops on windows, always remind me of that Friends episode!
Great photo, and totally captures the rainy London feel, its so much nicer when its sunny x
It’s a great picture, John, and it does sum up London in February perfectly. The effect of the rain on the window is perfect.
I love London but hate it in the rain. Love the photo
Thank you for linking up
I know it’s miserable when it’s raining but I really like this pic. Hope you didn’t get too wet.
I really like that, almost looks like a painting #MySundayphoto
Fantastic photo! Sums up this time of year perfectly x
what a cool shot. What type of camera are you using?
Its been very wet lately hasn’t it. I love this photo.
Looks like a filter effect! Rain can be very pretty! #mysundayphoto
A very striking shot – it does look very rainy out there!
I love it, it’s a really effective photo, so much atmosphere x
This is a great photo and certainly doesn’t look like London, it could be any city any where. But I also love that this building looks like it’s standing in its own space, and the rain & filter add a real sense of urban-ness. A good capture
