Yes, running generally helps you stay drier than walking in the rain, although the effect isn't huge, and the situation can change depending on wind and the intensity of the downpour. The key is to minimise your exposure time to the rain by reaching shelter as quickly as possible.
As you run you pass through the path of more rain drops -but - you are in the rain for less time.
Huddled in the only shelter I could find.

I'm posting this image that shows both sides of the wings. I've got many images and there is no additioal color. Hmm. Your take?

Previously unpublished shot of a juxtaposition that caught my attention - captured in January 2018.
The current 'cost of living crisis' is just the tip of the iceberg of coming problems for our society. Ukraine is basically the breadbasket of Europe and together with grain from the invading nation, Russia, we will be seeing massive shortages of staple crops and increasing food prices for all. Millions will be choosing between food and shelter or warmth. The top six energy companies in the UK made £1bn in profits last year and yet energy prices are going through the roof - my own energy bill has risen by 124% and I already strictly keep my energy use down for the sake of our planet!
There is enough wealth in this world to end poverty on this scale. When should a humane society consider that food, water, shelter and warmth are basic human necessities that everyone ought to be entitled to? Instead of taxing wealth, however, we take from the ordinary folks and the poorest suffer. I'm not expressing my politics here and you can draw no conclusions from my thoughts on that, but I am expressing my basic humanity. We are one species sharing one tiny planet in the vastness of space. Why do we not care more about our fellow humankind? When do we consider that we actually need to help each other?
Stay safe my Flickr friends.
Dry Weather
My friend, we are not going through a good time, here the relative humidity of the air is very low and there are many fires in the forests (Environmental Protection Area). Criminal fires, very sad...
Meu amigo, não estamos passando por um momento bom, aqui a unidade relativa do ar está baixissima e com muitos focos de incêndio nas florestas (Area de Proteção Ambiental). Incêndios criminosos, muito triste...

Again taken at Marwell not easy to get through the wire but this Tiger had 3 cubs so you have to give it a go.
Just the ghosts coming out to help take pictures in Jordan River BC. This one was all done by me. Shooting this night with Mars Romer and Vanessa Annabella.
Happy Telegraph Tuesday
Actually, this medivac helicopter is returning to it's base at the Lakeville, MN airport.

The Crawford Helper set returns westbound as seen from Breezy Point. Four SD60M's and a fuel Tender = an experience not to be repeated.
Now that helper set is on the front end of the East Binghamton to Mechanicsville train as it prepares to head down the Lanesboro Connection to Jeff Junction.
Over the last few years of photographing hundreds of old Minnesota barns, there are some that stand out in my experience. Almost any round barn qualifies for that distinction as well as other very old barns that are simply spectacular in that they made it through a hundred years and are still standing strong.
Barns that are accompanied by unusual silos are also memorable like the one in the photo that has a wooden silo. Wooden silos help date barns as some rectangle ones were first built back in the late 1800s. A decade or so later, round wooden silos were built that resembled large barrels and were held together by adjustable steel hoops.
The silo aside this barn has long vertical boards which is a little more uncommon and without talking to someone who owns it today, I would guess this dates back to the very early 1900s.
Someone years ago did a nice job of repairing and maintaining this historic barn and silo eventually putting a tin roof on the barn to add years to its life. It would be an interesting to learn more about the background from someone who lives in that area.
A nice overall touch is the guy wire anchored to the barn and attached to the upper part of the silo as if two old structures were giving help to one another as they endure the testing of time.
Many of us who are nearing the end of our own life’s journey know what that companion help is like.

Machinist Tony Bueno uses a fusee to thaw out frozen grease caps on Rio Grande SD40T-2 No. 5371 in the small enginehouse at Helper, Utah, on a frigid December 1, 2004. Once the caps are off, he will add the thick, self-contained, dark-green traction motor grease packs to each of the locomotives six traction motors.
Rio Grande SD40T-2s No. 5390, 5345, 5342, and 5392 await assignment in Helper, Utah on May 22, 1999.

Montana Rail Link helpers cut out of a westbound BNSF freight at Elliston, Montana, on September 17, 2012. A member of the helper crew lines the switch back for the main as the helpers get in the clear, and he will direct the front half of the train back together with the rear portion.

A Santa Fe GP35 idles near the ATSF freight depot in Victorville, California. This helper terminal is about 25 miles below Cajon Summit in San Bernardino County.

I've seen a lot of awesome stuff on the MRL, but this takes the cake....
The Laurel to Pasco reported they were having issues east of Lombard and weren't sure they would make Winston Hill. The dispatcher indicated there were no helpers available to run down and no other eastbounds coming and to keep making an effort to get over the hill.
As the Helena Local was finishing their work at Townsend, the dispatcher gave them the news they would be holding at Townsend for a westbound and would follow them up the hill. This gave me enough time to go to the Townsend campground to set up my tent.
Sure enough, as the Laurel to Pasco made an attempt at the hill, they slowed to a crawl and eventually required the MRL 355 and 109 approach and start to shove. Even with the extra power, the train still struggled up the hill. Eventually a "thank you" over the radio acknowledged they made it and were ready to descend into Helena... but not until the dispatcher talked the MRL 355 into the siding behind the Pasco train to meet an empty.
On a side note, the searchlights are being replaced between Logan and Helena Most of the work is done, and it is moving fast. Just a sign of the times, and soon these trains will be BNSF... sigh.
Landscape photography from Klintby town only a few kilometers from Næstvedcity, light is the key, the sun on the horizon helps to gain depth in the image. Today it was raining and had prepared me for an early morning for photography and driving down the road to the yellow fields, great silence, great views and enjoying nature early in the morning. Best wishes to you all. Thank you for watching.

The Delaware & Hudson had several run-through trains with the Lehigh Valley. One of those trains, symbol MA-2 (Mechanicsville – Allentown) is seen here approaching the village of Siegfried, just north of Northampton, Pennsylvania. In just four days, the D&H will increase its route-miles tremendously, being named the competitive alternative to Conrail in the northeast. To help support the additional traffic, the D&H will be given 47 Lehigh Valley and Reading locomotives, neatly patched in their former owners’ paint. This will greatly reduce the odds of seeing pure lightning stripe sets, such as this RS36/U23B/U23B/RS36 lashup.
