For this week’s photo challenge – Delta, we are to share a picture that symbolizes transitions, change, and the passing of time.
What better than the first shower of monsoon – symbolizing the end of a blistering summer and the beginning another cycle of sweltering humidity 😀
Can you see the white longitudinal streaks? Did you think those to be marks on a dirty window pane? No! The window was wide open. Those are the thick ropes of rain – the first monsoon shower in Delhi. The gentleman in white seems to have been taken by surprise. Or perhaps he took advantage of his mom’s absence 😉 😀

I was stunned by the monsoon season the first time I experienced it.

An excellent capture, Dahlia! I’m not a hot-weather person and definitely don’t like the humidity that accompanies such rain storms.

I cannot imagine monsoons but suspect they’re something like our hurricaines without the wind. Loved your photo

That is a nice way of putting it. Plus the monsoons are pretty relentless and endless. It just goes on and on. Silently. Lightning can be seen but true monsoon is not accompanied by thunder. Thanks a lot for visiting and leaving a note🌹

And my favorite is come back after a long day and see my comment box flooded with Girl of Ravens 🙂 Hola my friend! How was your vacation?

Aww 😀 I didn’t know I was missed. I would have returned sooner but terrible internet connection. I have been well, what about you? Vacations were so good (even though I didn’t get to travel to Thar) I didn’t want to back.
Did you get to travel anywhere?

Glad you had a good time and poor internet connection is probably all for the best! Nah I have been stuck and shuttling between home and office 😦 Not counting my flights of fancy of course 😉 Cheers

Great picture.The thick rope of water seems to come from the roof gutter where the rainwater collects before pouring down.
I have mixed feelings about the Indian Monsoon downpour. The initial euphoria always gave in to homesickness. Many a day the rain did not stop and flooded the campus ground making it difficult to move from one building to another.
The rain has given a bath to the trees and they look clean, fresh and gleaming.
