Yes, yes, and yes!
The colors in the sky, the clouds in the sky, the skyline all black are the treats of this photo!

I would gladly trade you a week of warm, sunny, dry weather for a day or two of rain.

Mike, here in Japan, it had been raining insanely for around ten days until a couple of days ago, there have been insane floods in various parts of Japan, and some levees was broken.  There have been insane amount of material damages and some human damages.

In addition, we had a fairly strong earthquake in Tokyo area two days ago.

So, this was the first truly calm and peaceful morning in a couple of weeks.

Yep Akira I've seen pictures of the flooding and my sympathies go out to all those affected. I was of course being facetious and of course realise that Japan lies on the "ring of fire" I sometimes forget that in my little part of the world the ground beneath my feet is fairly stable, but not everybody has that advantage.

My comment was made because your photos of sunsets/sunrises are superb and at the time I commented it was drizzling here, hence the stupid comment my apologies.

Mike, no worries.  I didn't at all take your comments as any offensive.  I was just a bit lamenting.

This morning Mt. Aso in Kyusyu exploded.  Yes, Japan is the world's greatest museum of natural disasters: earthquake, typhoon, flood, volcano, tornado...you name it!

Beautifully done, Akira-san.  Love it - the color, the composition - all the elements come together so well.  Well done!
