For all those that may complain, there are nice things that happen when it rains.

Baby it's cold outside

Given that most of everything in Toronto right now is white with snow, one would think that one could never have, "too much green", but after browsing my photos from a recent trip to Ireland, I batch converted most of them to BW. It rains so often there that everything seems to be green. The overcast skies in particular didn't help. On the day of this picture however, things cleared up quite a bit and instead of flat green I saw the blue of the sky, yellows in the highlights and deeper greens in the shadows. Part of the reason why this one slipped past the BW conversion guillotine
