The Colour of Rain


It's raining in Dubai!!!!

This does not sound like a big deal anywhere else in the world, but considering that the last rain we had in Dubai was in February 2006, 10 months is a long time to wait.

After moving to Dubai, I found it difficult to get accustomed to the lack of rain, especially since I had grown up in a place that rained almost every day. So these drops of water as seen from the car, is such a common sight to most people, but something that I personally cherish, since it happens so rarely here.

Oh joy!

You've taken something ordinary and turned it into extraordinary.

oops-- meant to say "buy" instead of "but." Must be the jet lag!

You have chosen well, Azlin, but shooting the effects of rain as color and form, instead of just rain itself. The images are evocative --they all express feelings and ideas rather than describe a wet window.

Lovely shots indeed... it's funny how something that can instill wonder in some is tolerated (or loathed) by others; I live in Seattle.

Nice shots, great colours. Amazing how much you can miss something once it's not there anymore. I would definitely miss the rain!
