Inspired by Toads Cafe shots Passing this cafe I decided to return and take a couple of photos.
So I came through a closed market to the door opposite. Unfortunately the rain was lashing into the doorway, and I did not wish to get soaked. (Me not the camera
) So standing behind a fixed glass panel, and waiting for people to walk through and open the automatic door, this is what I came up with.
Say what you will I can take it.

Actually I had cropped it at the top to remove the white building, and my wife shouted "teas ready".
And we daren't carry on, so I lost it and started again after tea.
I am putting a little pic on to show where I was really. On the left outside is a newspaper seller clinging to the window (it was a very heavy shower) ,and inside is me behind a metal barrier. The auto doors are to my right.
I think what I was trying to get at, was the heavy rain and gloom and an Italian type cafe. And I know I have along way to go to Toads standard, and quite a few others here also.
But thanks for the critique.

I like both Toad's and Smarti's versions, although the intended shot would have been in full sunlight. Never mind it is good practise for me.
The reason I was in town was to purchase a small backpack and after looking at quite a few brands in three good photo shops I finished up with the lowepro microtrecker 200. It says it is waterproof and does not have a waterproof cover like my other bag. I wasn't dressed to test it.
