Sabado lluvioso

Saturday it rained all day, which meant that the streets were practically empty (a rare treat!).  I went shopping, eating and coffee-drinking in Palermo Soho and took some snaps as I went.

 

The Glow

It has been raining non-stop for two days now, which I find somehow calming.  It means that there are not as many people on the street; they are either indoors or in buses and taxis, and the city has this glow about it.  It´s just a steady rainfall, that makes it pleasant to put on your boots, grab your umbrella and walk.  In the afternoon when it gets a little darker, the sky just has this glow.  Everything is wet, but the colours seems more vivid and the buildings contrast against the silver-white glow that envelops everything below.
