This is the view from my office window, although you can't tell, it's still really quite warm (22 C, 72 F) Which, as I'd left my umbrella in the office the night before, led to the.. interesting, sight of me coming into work, wearing sandals, shorts, and a big rainproof jacket, with my hat pulled down tight over my ears.

The shot is just cropped in aperture, nothing else done to it


To answer the comments about heat and rain. I'm Scottish, I was born in Aberdeen, and grew up north of their. "The beach" where I come from went down into the north sea, and a good summer was above 18 Celsius, above 20 and you get into really hot weather. I actually do like the rain, because it reminds me of home, and helps cool me down. The title of the capture is a bit of a dig at all my Belgian colleagues who are always complaining that it rains too much.

best use of raindrops on a window I've seen in a long time. I love how I can juuust make out what's outside -- it gives a sense of dreariness and being stuck indoors. (As someone who lives in California -- if we get a 72-degree day in July we pull out our sweaters and no I am not kidding. Although, being in the mountains as I am, 72 degrees in March means it's time to pull out the shorts and tank tops. How contrary we silly people are.)

Looks like a very rainy day, I used to be fond of the rain, until it was thrust upon us for 50 something days straight :) Now I'm for sun all the time! Haha

Love this shot - I can feel the rain and the moisture. Something I dream of here (in the desert). Also dreaming of such lovely cool temperatures! Where have you been?

I miss rain.
