Well, except that I can't post any images because it thinks "img" is a mismatched tag. )(*&^^#$%^&^&*$%^&

make sure you put a closing / before the end bracket on the img tag.

This was a couple of weeks ago, a spectacular downpour which only lasted for ten minutes but, hoo boy, I thought I was going to be flooded out.

I took this after being woken up early one morning by a huge clap of thunder. This is just before the storm started. It's the first time I've seen a (double) rainbow before the storm.

The parser here does not seem to like the HTML from Flickr's new page, it pukes every.single.time. Going back to the old Flickr page and the Allsizes greasemonkey script fixed it for now, but it's going to change permanently very soon.

Wow, fantastic photos!

Hmmm, yeah, the new Flickr layout is borking our cut-and-paste abilities. fluffy battle kitten is right- adding a trailing slash in the IMG tag fixes it.

No pics. Have a somber-yet-optimistic song to listen to whilst you admire fotoskillz.

"I can't see the stars, so I look up to the storm
Once I put away my dreams, now I take them out to warm"

It's hard to capture how strong a rainstorm is in a picture.

Good night that flickr interface is weird. You'll need to click to see the full size version.

These were from this set. I took some burst shots that I tried making into an animated .gif, but flickr ated it.
