apocalyptic rains


Having spent the morning at the first workshop meeting talking about an exciting 2024 show at the Huntington, on the C19th and environmental issues, I spent the afternoon contemplating today's evidence of climate change: a torrential storm that dumped about two and a half inches of rain in forty-five minutes.  This was the view from our front path: a lot of this water (which then charge off, making deep channels in our driveway) came out our neighbor's yard - to the right of this picture - and was roaring through holes in their garden gate as though it were a sluice gate, or some re-enactment of the ending of The Mill on the Floss.  Oh, and there was thunder and lightning, too ... truly dramatic, and we are very grateful for a dry house.
