A Boat, a Train and a Rainbow....

A little shot that might apeal to @Montfrooij taken just before getting drenched by the incoming rain,  funny thing was I was flying with my back to the approaching clouds so got wet without seeing it coming.  




Can't complain we need the rain,  but it would be nice if it would come in lighter showers,  and not so heavey that my conservatory leaks.





Taken with the Mini 3 Pro.

Nice shots!
The first one is my favorite (and not only because of the train)

Cheers Monty,   nearly had a double rainbow there but it fizzled out.  The second shot was just to show the different from south to north.

Nice work.
Sorry you got wet, and that your conservatory leaks.
Ours doesn't  -   'cos we haven't got one

Yeah, it still showed a bit of a second one.
They come and go quickly.

Im not surprised,  I stood out in the down pour for about 2 seconds and was wetter than standard under the shower.  In fact you couldn't see the house 50ft away.

Not nearly so severe here.  But the humidity has risen. Even a brisk walk brings out the perspiration.

Same here,  not pleasant at all.

We've had light rain since 8am here which is better than the torrent from last night.

Looks like we will be missing out on all the wetness.

Awesome shot DA.    You got the trifecta in that shot (boat, train and rainbow).  Sorry to hear about your conservatory leak.  Sounds like another project.

  That sounds like you had a Texas size down pour.

P{probably,   I couldn't see the house 50ft down the road,  and it was heavy enough to get pushed up under the flashing on the conservatory causing a small leak.

Cheers DT,   Im not concerned about it,  I dont think I'll see rain like that again for some years.

I I thought it was clearing here,  blue skies coming in and when I just came out of the workshop with plans to go fly its lashing down again.

We will get some soon. But not the amounts that were forecasted.

8mm in the next 24 hours here now.  . I shouldn't complain,  we do need it.

I hope we will get more.

I hope we will get more.

I wish they could come to a comprise and just rain over night.  

DAFlys Posted at 9-8 04:22

Yup we will probably all settle for that.

Good shots.

Good shots.

Cheers Depp.   Just a quick capture as I was getting drowned.  Cant complain we need the rain here.

Wow, that was quite some storm DA.    Hope you didn't have any water damage.

DAFlys Posted at 9-8 04:08

Hopefully, at least not of the strength of that storm.  

Nice three in one shot!

nice shots and a shower at no charge for you :-)

I cleaned up and over night we had a lot more rain,  but no leaks,   I think it was so hard it managed ro get up and under the flashing.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 9-8 10:30

Nothing that didnt clean up fairly easily,   luckily.    Although oddly it even managed to get down the chimney into there fireplace which takes some doing as the chimney is not straight.

Wow, it must have been really gusting and possibly even blowing the rain sideways to get under the flashing.  How's your weather today?

Yeah, that had to of been some really heavy winds and rain then.

Just had a very short sharp shower.  

Thunderstorms later are forecast now.

I really dont recall seeing anything as heavy to be honest.

  Raining here now.  At least my dock is getting a good wash off while I'm still maintaining light duty.  

Did I mention that v1.7.4 of the Fly App is out?  I downloaded it and will give it a test once the rain stops.

DAFlys Posted at 9-9 01:19
thanks Fred.

Of course.

No ones believing you

Just watched some reviews of the 1.7.4 version and there some comments about air sense crashing and the compass not working right.
