This week while walking around NYC I was struck by the light falling on the side of the wet trees in the rain.

The glistening blue was lit from above as the Empire State Bldg was off in the distance.

I knew there was a mist in the air so to illustrate what happens when you shoot with a flash in the rain - I shot a frame with the flash. 
Clearly not the right move for my tastes.

The non flash shot is dramatic in B&W as well.  The scene was perfect for a timeless NYC night scape.
