With the rain coming down I put on my rain sleeve over my D50. I think its the first time I've used it. You can get two of them at the camera store for 11 dollars CDN. Its a little cumbersome to work with at times but its better than giving your camera a bath.

Post challenge
21st? Weird. With an image scoring lower than a 6 no less. Looks the voters slammed the images in this challenge pretty hard.

This is a cool pic. That yellow line acts like a barrier between him staying wet and getting out of the rain. The yellow pulls this pic together. Well done.
