For the past few days, the weather here in my city has been extremely hot, so much so that everyone longed for a break from the heat. The sun beat down relentlessly as if it were on a mission to finish us off. Lol.
And today, as nature would have it, we woke up to a cloudy sky, and then, a refreshing rain which lasted for thirty minutes or thereabout, before subsiding into a gentle drizzle, thereby allowing people to head out.
I managed to get to the office, and while settling in, I took a moment to look out the window – a habit of mine most mornings. The greyish tone of the wet street, and the church opposite my office caught my eye, and I thought "this would make a perfect monochrome photo." So I went ahead to photograph them.
The outcome was just as I anticipated - stunning! A look at the photos, and you'd see how the church's architecture stood out against the gloomy sky, with cars and people moving slowly, creating a sense of calm - and this calm lingered, carrying me throughout the day.
Sometimes, it's the simplest moments that speak the loudest. This rainy morning, I found beauty in the ordinary, and I'm glad I captured it.
Tell me, how's the weather condition is your city?
