This may have been the day that started the demise to my beloved FZ35.
After I took this shot, the wind picked up and the rain came down totally horizontally. An Alesund native turned to me and said how lucky I was because not everyone gets to experience the "sideways rain." Having difficulty in just standing, I backed (or more correctly was blown) away from the overlook. So I missed any shot of the truly horizonal rain.. My camera was not designed to shoot in this kind of weather.
Supposedly Alesund is a very beautiful city on a clear day. However, that definitely was not a clear day. When it rains in Norway, it REALLY rains!
