One thing I've been pretty particular about with my photography over the years is to show something 'as it is'...as much as that is possible. In other words, I don't do much 'post-editing' (except cropping) or add filters or effects. My basic rule of thumb is that if it is something I might once have altered in the dark room, then that's as far as it goes. (Yes dear reader, I once developed pics in dark rooms...I am that old.)
Today, as I was looking out the window (waiting patiently for the late special lecture Mark II I was due to give...) I thought the rain through the day really changed the effect on the appearance of the port...

| Rain, rain |
 |
| But we keep on working |
 |
| to and fro |
 |
| in the (filtered) rain |
...and then I realised that in fact, it is the window itself that is actually a bit dusty and smeared and thus has probably been acting as a 'filter' of sorts all this time...
Good, bad, inevitable? Does it break my 'no filter' rule? I'll let you decide.
