The story behind the image
During our recent trip to Paris, France, we encountered a wild mix of weather – ranging from clear skies with lots of sunshine to cold periods with heavy rain.
On our last day we walked through the large park next to the Louvre museum, the Tuleries gardens. The sky was covered with clouds already, but it stayed dry. When we approached Place de la Concorde the clouds had become darker and more dramatic. Finally, on the Pont de la Concorde, the drama was clearly visible. We sensed that it would start to rain soon. Very soon. And indeed, shortly after I took this photo, heavy rain set in. (We found shelter at a bus stop.)
Still, I like the drama in this photo.
