Rain, beautiful rain.

This morning, I awoke to drenching sheets of rain outside my window, continuing for some time. I absolutely love it when it rains, and we certainly haven’t had enough of it this year. Walking through the city in the wet is a gorgeous experience… I’m sure there’ll be some disagreement on that mark, but i just love the wet, reflective sidewalks, jumping over puddles, the colour of the buildings in the CBD when their sides are all covered in water.

And the clouds! No featureless blue skies, but painted, detailed, varied ones. Gorgeous brooding clouds, with whites and greys and dark greys… well, it’s not a traditional panoply of colour, but the variety! And no squinting in glaring sunlight; the ability to just look around yourself and take it all in, for as long as you like.

As adrock2xander said, it seems a few months late, but it feels like summer is finally behind us.
