A person, who values the beauty of nature and ambient in the world, for richer and happier than those, who did not notices this.
Markyate is a street village set along the bed of the River Ver and is surrounded by the hills of the Chilterns (Hertfordshire). Since water has the habit of following gravity, rainwater would accumulate at the lowest possible point, which is where the life of the village and that of the river intersect. The river bed is tiny and, inside the village, culverted too, which means that surface water would need a long time to run off. A rainstorm such as that hitting us last night will inevitably cause damage for those residents whose houses have been built in the flood plane. I have spoken to some of these residents and found to my astonishment that they were not aware of this fact. Had nobody told them? Fuji X100F.
I am sure you have heard that California has turned from a hot, dry, shriveled section of the West Coast to a lush, jungle like wetland pretty fast. For a state that relies on water the survival of the environment, vast agriculture, and green lawns for millions of people the change is welcome. For the fish and farmers that rely on this water for survival it is like raining gold.
Recent rains here in San Diego have made streams like this one at Sunset Cliffs appear where they had not flowed for many years.
Menschen nicht!
Wir sind so traurig, mein lieber Bruder Rainer ist gestern verstorben.

People not!
We are so sad, my dear brother Rainer passed away yesterday.
Monday the confirmed cancer diagnosis, Saturday already in heaven.
I had to drive across one of the prettiest parts of the Yorkshire Wolds on Wednesday to do a piece of work. I was looking forward to taking some photographs sadly the weather intervened… the sky filled in with cloud and its poured with rain. I stopped at one point near Bugthorpe to take this shot I and the camera got pretty wet rather quickly so this was the only image I managed. Not pretty but it has a certain atmosphere.
I did have to push up the exposure on Lightroom it was just too dark
P.S. I choose this image to post yesterday morning I had no idea it would be so appropriate to my feelings this morning. No doubt some of you out there feel the sun is shining. Think I will go back to bed now
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE A COMMENT IT’S MUCH APPRECIATED.

If you look close you may see Victor's flash floating in the river. Just kidding. Well kind of... It isn't in this shot but it did happen. Read more here.
Rise, rise , before beautiful eyes
Stand so tall and kiss her skies
Don't ever let you ardour fall
When you hear , sweet passions call
Wipe away Gods fallen tear
Hold your love, hold them near
Stand so tall, in her hands
Rise up and enter forbidden lands
i loved my friend. he went away from me. there’s nothing more to say. the poem ends, soft as it began - i loved my friend.

I love rain. Beyond that, I love thunderstorms. It's nature flexing its muscles and showing how powerful it can be. It helps me understand how small and insignificant I am.
Our world is a fragile thing. A living thing. We need to take care of it so it can take care of us. Rain is one of the things the world does for us. It keeps earth cool enough for us to live on it. It makes our crop grow.
If we are so lazy that we can't bother to walk a few meters more to put that piece of trash in the recycling bin, do we deserve the care our beloved earth gives us?
Do your part in preventing our seas from becoming full of plastic garbage by throwing your trash in the recycling bin. It takes you a few seconds to do that, but for earth to get rid of that tiny plastic wrapping it takes thousands of years.

Rain hangs about the place, like a friendly ghost. If it’s not coming down in delicate droplets, then it’s in buckets; and if neither, it tends to lurk suspiciously in the atmosphere.
