I posted these because I wanted to look at the difference the colours make.

Coney Island in the rain

In honour of today's rain - a shot from November 2004. Leonie with Eilidh at Coney Island.  Taken with my old faithful (until it gave up) Fujifilm point and shoot.  Of course I found this while searching for another photo. . . which I still haven't found!
