everything glows in the rain

All afternoon, the sky threatened to open but the downpour didn't start until late in the day.

Just as well, because I love how the rainy blacktop reflects the neon lights.

While standing on a particularly wet corner, the glowing end of this young man's cigarette (along with his curious glance and friendly smile) caught my eye.

His name is Anthony and he generously allowed me to snap a few more photos of him right there on the drippy sidewalk.

Here are a few I posted on Flickr
