How that intersection has changed since the 50s & 60s; you do justice to how the rain is part & parcel of Houston, Norman - nice shot! like/fav!
Norman Gabitzsch replied:
Yes, Felipe, A&O Lamp Co is still here but the Bellaire theatre in the next block has been remodeled into a Whole Foods. The exterior tower is still recognizable but the rest is gone. I need to get down to the River Oaks Theatre and make some rainy night photos while it is still in business.

Hi Norman - I am enjoying the different colors of night shimmering in the rain. Personally, I don't see very many night captures so I was drawn in to see more of yours. This is different and wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
