Winter Rain

It rained today.
I mean, this evening.
Well, rain is rain, but in this middle eastern country where rain is considered a miracle, it was a momentous occasion --something worthy of a blog post--- even for me who came from a country with tropical climate. (hmmm... just makes me miss home even more!)

I was trying to get some sleep when I noticed some light flickering across the bedroom once in a while, disturbing the utter darkness. (I don't call it "my" bedroom coz I'm not paying for it.)
I was thinking maybe some bright light from a tower crane at a construction site nearby was the culprit.
It came as a surprise to me when I realized that the flashes of light were actually caused by lightning!

Anyway, I've had a few minutes of rest so I got out of bed, looked out the window, and was just baffled to see how water falling from the sky could look so fascinating at night.
