Water World Wednesday - Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head - August 29, 2012

Well, Jaipur is having quite a bit of rainfall now....two months late.  

Monsoon season should have arrived when I did, on June 23rd -

but, until about two weeks ago, there have been only a few 

intermittent showers.  People have been lamenting the dry conditions,

both townspeople and farmers alike.  

A few days ago, rain came down in a furious crescendo, with booms

of thunder and lightning illuminating the skies.  It started in the afternoon

and continued all night.  Sadly, many homes in low lying regions of

Jaipur were flooded and there were several fatalities.

Subsequent rains have been less traumatic, except for flooding the

streets and creating puddles for delighted children.  I've never seen

such raindrops, though!

It started out as a light rainfall

The drops became bigger and bigger

And, in some areas, the drops were amazing...as the

rain continued on into the night.

I am participating in Water World Wednesday, Episode 22, Year 1.
