We enjoyed a day of fair weather when we visited Culion Island in the Calamianes. But as soon as we docked at the Coron pier around 4 pm, the clouds turned dark---rain was in the air. People started to scamper for cover while the cool wind danced on the bay, sweet-smelling rain wafted through the harbor.
These are snapshots from the Coron harbor a few minutes before the rain finally poured, and boy, it really poured!
Rain! whose soft architectural hands have power to cut stones, and chisel to shapes of grandeur the very mountains. ~ Henry Ward Beecher
Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. ~ John Ruskin
Rain or shine, there is always Sky-watch Friday
Good skies.
