Rain ... pretty annoying subject on dry days. So, how about this combination of draught and rain ? This is a wine barrel I bought some five years ago to turn it into a rainwater tank. One hour of heavy rain is enough to fill it completely (the house has a pretty big roof and all water ends up in this barrel), yet it's enough to water my plants for weeks when draught hits ...
Haha yeah not a good time for rain pictures 
Nice solution and great black and white image!
Thanks, Jolien. Actually it's raining here now. One day too late 
Nice texture in the photo! One of my first jobs after college was in the office of a factory that made 55-gallon barrels, and we got a surprising amount of phone calls from people who wanted to use them to collect rainwater. This is my first time seeing a wine barrel repurposed for that though. Neat!
It was cheaper, just as good and better looking than the plastic one Thanks !
Love the black and white, textures and contrasts!
Thank you, Lynn
Great idea and I like the b&w capture! We've been talking for awhile about how to capture the rain since the water bill got so high after the hot summer - I really like your solution.
Mind you, you get the mosquitoes for free (they like to breed in that water) And you will need a very big barrel if you have lots of plants or grass. I basically gave up on the grass ... Best thing is of course to drill a water pit, but since I'm renting and not owning I can't do that.
Thin layer of Pam or other cooking spray will kill them usually.
Nah, I don't really care about the mosquitoes. They are in the garden and they don't eat me
Well there goes that...out of the box.....thinking. Nice shot, love the texture.
Out of the box, into the barrel
😂👍
Way to go, Bjorn. That's being very environmentally conscious!
I decided I could do better after buying this one and bought another one. The latter I'm filling with what's in the first in the wet season
