London Marathon 2008 - in the rain

Thanks to my "camera coat" I was able to take pictures in the heavy April showers - although I've just finished removing the condensation from inside a rather expensive lens!
The elite runners didn't seam to mind the weather - and almost certainly preferred it to the heat wave in 2007! Some of the fun runners did appear to slow under the bridges that cross the road around the 20 miles mark - but having got that far, they deserved the shelter from the inclement weather for a short period.
And then the numbers just increased and increased, bringing colour to a very dull day.
Some of the road furniture associated with a busy London road is interesting when set in the context of a mass of people moving, where there is normally busy London Traffic.
