Swiss domestic Monsoon…

Prangins - Vaud (Switzerland)

On the roof of my cave the rain has been ticking loudly for hours. I love this sound. I love the shining wet tiles. I love the droplets on the windows. I love the fact that temperature dropped radically.
I’m delightfully selfish and I don’t feel any special sympathy for the fanatics of suntan, who whine miserably under their umbrellas.
In my troglodytic cave I can even keep the window closed and I have heaps of books and soft cushions on my sofa and a good stock of coffee and delicious biscuits in my cupboard and last but not least I have the wise and patient one, who, besides sharing his life with me, can make coffee wonderfully.
Real books, real coffee, real home-made biscuits…something concrete to makes me feel a little more at ease in the virtual cloud…

All the photos of this series, which should be considered a homogenous work, compose a visual description of my very personal idea of summer. Each photo is posted on the same day it’s taken, they have all square format.
You might see also the others, if you have time.

There is a fascination with rain and wind, It brings back memories of rain lashing against the windows and wind howling through them in days before 'Double Glazing' shut us away from the real world. Anyway.... A great picture, I love the blue and white, but not to sure about the red!. Vote..
