thank you rain.
the new zealand maori believe that it is auspicious for rain to fall on an event, a hui [meeting] tangi [funeral] or any gathering of people.
te tangi o te tipuna [the tears of the ancestors]
i mostly enjoy the rain which is a good thing having lived half my life in the sub tropical northern part of new zealand, where there is a fair bit of rain.
a kind man suggested that these pictures reminded him of jean luc goddard’s film breathless i have to admit that i don’t recall ever seeing the original only the 1983 remake starring richard gere, and if that is anything to go by, i would have a lot to live up to.
