Rainy day and night. Japan is wet, moist, humid and sticky. Umbrellas are the must. Rain is calming and soothing as long as it wouldn't lead to flooding. Now living in dry California where it rarely rains from April through October, I often miss rain. I am amazed to see the green trees standing bravely on a perched hill top. They must have developed deep roots to absorb scarce water in the ground, just waiting patiently for the next rainy season.
In recent years, sudden downpours have been causing a sharp increase in flood damage, becoming a serious problem. Yet, rain sometimes adds depth and atmosphere to a scene, and at such times, I feel inspired to take photos.
Interesting to hear about your experience, I've lived in wet Japan and now live in dry France so that it's been quite the whiplash for me as well so definitely hear you here Tanaka-san.

The effect of the rain on the glass is quite interesting. Almost as if nature has applied it's own filter to the camera
I love the filters that nature has given me.
I can feel the dampness!
