DP Theme Day: Water

It's time once again for the City Daily Photo theme day. This month's theme is water. My post of hail yesterday could have passed, and I considered using it, but in the end decided to go with a shot I took of my Yahama scooter after it had taken a rain bath.As an added bonus, the photo at right was taken at the same location, but during the day, also after it rained, though it's harder to tell since light isn't glinting off the drops like the photo above.
Rain is a fairly common occurrence here in Oregon, and occasionally I have to ride my scooter in the rain. True Oregonians are web-footed, though, so it's okay. Kinda. :)
I took this in the parking lot of the Safeway grocery store on 1st Ave.

I had to click on your photo from the portal...such brilliant use of color!
Port Angeles Daily Photo
Nicely done, looks like it could be an advertising shot!
love this picture!
What a great bike and such an original idea to show it in the rain for today. Nice one. Love that colour!
bravo, tres original et une tres bonne idée. j'aime beaucoup
Bravo, very original and a very good idea. I love
Great colors. When you ride your scooter in the rain does it feel like BBs hitting you?
Thanks, everyone!
Jim, not really. I have a windshield, raincoat, and helmet, so it's mainly my legs which get wet. The scooter can't go that fast... I'm guessing the fast one goes, the harder the rain feels.
Wgat happened to your "purple plaything?" Did it go to scooter heaven?
Clever to show water that way -- not a typical shot of a pond or river but water beaded up on the scooter-which is indeed pretty, my favorite color, in fact.
Carla, the Purple Plaything did indeed go to scooter heaven. I hit a pothole and kinda bent the steering column to the point where it wasn't worth fixing it.
My new scooter is a Yamaha Vino, and I've decided to name her Venus.
Oregonians may be web-footed but Vino's prefer nice sunny days and dry pavement -:) Yeah, I know. I get caught in the wet stuff once in awhile, too. Don't like it, but gotta get back from point b to point a somehow. Wonderful choice for today's theme. Rubber Side Down, y'hear?
Beautiful Celine!
Nice! It's very rich image, Celine.
I love the colour one as well as one you tweaked. About the one you converted the background to B&W, I would love more if those all golden colour on tour wheels and reflection on chrome is left as your colour version.
Fantastic photogrph.
This is an awesome photo. I am impressed....the blue really stands out.
