Rain Clouds over the Rajamandala Mountain Range

As we climbed further up (see previous posts), dark, rain clouds began to form in the northwestern direction of the Rajamandala mountain range. It was a bit of disappointment because one of the purposes of our climb to the stone garden at the top of Gunung Masigit was to see the sunset, which our guides said would be marvelous.

This view is in the opposite direction of the view I posted in yesterday's picture.

A Skywatch Post: A Wet Summer

It's been an extremely wet and 'chilly' summer (or dry season) here. Rains have been falling at an unusually higher rate for the month of June, which usually sees a lot of blue sky and sunshine here. I don't know what causes it. Perhaps it has something to do with the global warming (?)

This is the railway track near where I live one late afternoon last week.

Please visit other skywatchers here and see if these somewhat erratic weather patterns are also experienced elsewhere.

Raincoats, Rain Jackets, and Rain Pants

Raincoats, rain jacket, and rain pants are very useful on a rainy day.

Street Documentary: Flood

This is Jalan Stasiun Timur street after the rain a couple of weeks ago. The drainage in this area looked bad. Water came out of the sewer and gutter and innundated part of the street. Probably they were chocked with garbage. It's time the city's goverment did something about it.

Skywatch Friday: Rain Bearing Clouds

I took this photo sometime ago from the balcony of my office. These gigantic dark clouds looked menacing, and I was awed. Dispite their look, however, I knew that we all need the water contained in them. Mother nature certainly has her own peculiar way of showing her mercy. Like a mother, a stern diapproving look does not always mean bad. Sometimes it's her way of showing that she cares.
