The past Sunday was a very atypical day in Germany. As far as I’ve remembered, I’ve never experienced a day here where all the elements in the sky, the sun, clouds, rain were trying to outdo each other. It rained for awhile, stopped in time to allow the sun to make its presence known, deceitfully shining brightly, letting me to believe that the rain has finally cleared and I could finally go cycling. Ha. My jubilation was short-lived as the heavy rain clouds set in just after I’ve put on my cycling gear. The succession of rain, sun, rain, sun was enough to make me give up going cycling altogether. Grrr.But towards the evening, around eight, the sky cleared up at long last leaving some harmless cotton-ball-like clouds behind, suffused in the mellow glow of the last rays of sunshine of the day. I was glad that the day wasn’t completely ruined at all when beholding such spectacular display of beauty. The sky has never been so blue!

Mother nature takes but she also generously gives.
