Driving Downtown In The Rain
I need to go downtown.
But looking out from my door, there is no escaping the monsoon.
All I can see is the plentiful rain.

Business by the roadsides has quickly resumed.

Only the fishing fleet remains anchored in enforced monsoon idleness.

crowds
And all that remains of my umbrella.
__________
__________
So British!

The rain, the umbrella and the lowering skies. And dear Pet of course.
