"rain used to be considered glorious, wanted, life giving...a reason for rejoicing. why the difference now? just the economy? or a general outlook on life? too inconvenient? dreary?
the city definitely lets me see another side of itself in the rain. its usually full of life, never slowing down, smug, content in its diversity, always pushing the limits. but in the rain, its tired, secretly worn out... a sad smile of an old man who hasn't taken time to rest -- experienced, knowing, but tired.
like me, it lets its guard down in the rain"
my beloved new york in the rain
the umbrellas look beautiful...but not from underneath
kind of how i see new york in the rain...but maybe its not so violent as this painting
