Down Came the Rain







We have had torrential rain, hail and flooding here today however it still persists in being 25 degrees outside. I adore the rain but prefer it is accompanied by some cooler weather! These images are from 1941, photographed by Gjon Mili.

  2. I've just heard about the Queensland rain from another Ozzie friend - sounds dramatic! Nice photos. Apparently, real rain doesn't show up in film, so they had to use diluted milk when filming 'Singing In The Rain', and everyone smelt of cheese for days afterwards!

  4. He (Gene Kelly) was wearing a raincoat and had an umbrella, and the only other character was the baton-swinging policeman, I seem to remember. They probably had a few changes of costume during the shoot!
