Maybe this is a strange image if you do live in Dubai, Bahrain or in a desert. But in the Netherlands we do see this TOO MUCH (again) this summer.

Again lots of rain accompany us this summer. This year until now there was not much fine weather, you know, when the evenings are warm and you can sit outside. Most people do hide in their houses !! it should be high-summer now.
Again we hope that August will bring us warmth.

Often they say, as a rule, that it doesn't help to curse .... but if the sun isn't comming back in a short time ..... I gonna test this rule. ;-)

In this photo you see a rainy look outside my window on my roof-terrace.

Nou nou, zo kan die wel weer Joopie.
Ook ik ben liever in een zuidelijker land, maar we hebben hier weer een prachtig voorjaar gehad, zeker in begin mei, toch ?
Zondag was het 40 graden bij mijn zoon in Sicilia, ook niet alles. Ook aan de Costa blanca was het gisteren 40 graden according to our friends there, this morning.
Ook in Memmengen was het een paar dagen geleden 30 graden, helaas komt het kwik er nu niet hoger dan 16, en daar gaan we heen over twee weken. Dus het is niet gauw goed, toch ?
Elk nadeel heb zun voordeel zou Johan zeggen, je hoef the tuin geen extra water te geven en het gras groeit als kool, sniff.! haha
En dan, vanbinnenuit kan je toch ook leuke plaatjes maken, toch ?
Groetjes vanuit een regenachtig Bergen op Zoom.

Hoi Joop,
Mooi weergegeven!
En tóch beweren de weerkundigen dat het een heel normale Nederlandse zomer is...... En..... ze hebben beterschap beloofd!
Groet van de zonzijde van Zeeland,

Yep... I must say that I really like this image... not the view though, just the image.
It's difficult photographing from the inside out.... but you did pretty well!

Nice idea!

Hi Joop, what a great shot, your note sums it all up! I wish it would rain here in Bahrain, we have had three small showers since January!

OH JOOP please send some this way... 13 days no rain! I love the way the rain makes the view soft! We sit out every night and one would never know we live in a neighborhood.. Never see or hear anyone! LOL

Hi Joop,
You captured the rain very nicely here. Not an easy subject to do, this is very good. Hopefully August will be better for you and all the friends in Netherlands.

Bonjour Joop,

Je vois à ce cliché, beaucoup de désespoir, il est vrai qu'en ce moment, l'astre soleil ne nous est pas des plus sympathiques!
Ca va venir, faut pas s'en faire!!!
En France, c'est pareil!!!
Amitiés

Hi Joop,
Your photo conveys a very cosy feeling, as its taken comfortably from inside. Its always nice to be indoors to watch the rain coming down. I know what you mean, we've being having scores of heavy showers for the past 2 weeks in Sri Lanka.

This is one of the best rainy-day photos I have seen! The textures and light are perfect and the colours work very nicely. Fine framing too

Ja Joop,

Wat heb je gedaan om het weer te veranderen ----het heeft geholpen, de zon schijnt eindelijk!.

Prachtige foto met een goed uitzicht en scherpe druppels op het raam, Ik heb het gedaan door de zijruit van de auto toen het weer eens bleef regenen.
Van de foto kan ik wel genieten ^-^.

Els

PS Lekker zo'n dakterras.

Hello Joop,

I thought I was just looking out of my window rather than looking at my monitor!
I know the feeling exactly!

Despite the despair, you have captured the scene and the mood very well! You have presented it perfectly.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)
