Challenge 443: The rain in Spain
I'm writing this from a friend's house in Figueres, Spain, a couple of hours from Barcelona. It's a beautiful villa, dampened only by the incessant rain. I'm told, though, that tomorrow will be beautifully sunny.

Can you cheer us all up by taking this scene and showing how it would look without the wet surfaces? How hard would it be to bring the sun out?

High res is here.

If you do get sun tomorrow please send some over here - all we've been promised is clouds again

Will there be pictures of Parc Guel in future weeks?

I've never been to Spain, but it looks late in the day to me...

I wonder if there is a place in the world right now that it ISN'T raining! Its been raining on and off here for over a week!

Ant, what an inviting scene! Beautifully done

Steve, I went to look up the FullMontage for some images and it looks like its not active anymore. Is that correct? Can the images still be accessed from another site?

Anna

Anna, I love the rain effect, but how did you convince Steve he should perform the dance?

Excellent Anna. I'd forgotten about that piece of music, but I do have it. (Is that Steve's Dad's Dance? You would not want to see mine, ....the rain would come back as in something like Black Sabbath )

Enjoying all your entries so far folks and looking very convincing. Hope can get one in, but away again. For what it is worth Steve, I've been to Spain business & cycling and has been very cold and wet. A week business trip in Malaga (far south east) rained every day. The omens were bad it all started with an earthquake (3)!

Anyway, love Spain especially rural areas on my bike and working & socialising with Spanish people rural/city.

Update: Excellent James too: great flight and the cats movements. Fascinating.

I've given up trying to work out the shadows. If I don't submit now I'll still be fighting with it next week! I had to fast-forward 120 pages in 100% Photoshop to find out how to do the flowers and leaves. Now I had better get back to working on that drawer in !00% PS.
