Leena from Joensuu, Finland

And I can feel this mood :)
We had yesterday a snow storm and now is -6C (21,2 F ).
Our April is an ugliest month during the whole year and Google`s film car is driving just now in Finland !
When videos from Finnish towns will be to Google maps, nobody want to visit here :)

You have brilliant photos on your Aminus3.
I looked at them through Cooliris in Firefox.

@Linerberry: I see you are in New Zeland, oh, how much I envy you :))) I am in Canada, with at least 6 months of terrible winter , with wind over 60 km/ h ... so that day was like that

A great bl&ck and white and one of my favorite David Bowie's song...

Don from spokane, United States

A fine wild and wet looking street scene. I like this in black and white which seems to fit the day. I can sympathize with your weather - our spring, though milder than yours, has been unusually changeable and
unfriendly! :-)

EYES WIDE SHUT from The library of my soul, United Kingdom

A great song by David Bowie from 1976..... but I digress
A terrific shot, full of textural variances and a sense of those harsh elements of Mother Nature

Photosanity from Folsom, United States

Your capture exudes the title - your composition with the street at an angle, helps me to feel the wind blowing across the photo, not sure it would be as powerful if it was all parallel to the frame. Well seen!

bluechameleon from Vancouver, Canada

The contrast is great...the wet pavement with those great reflections. You have certainly captured the mood of the day!
