Hooooooooooooot! The hot days still last over Vienna and I became used to this weather. The sun is shining as strong as in the Sahara desert and gladly I spend the weekend with my parents in our summer house.
There we were happy for every small breeze or we would steam in the hot temperature - it was about 35 degrees and 70% humidity.
But today we experienced a fierce thunderstorm in the afternoon:
The black clouds were roaring toward us and dad told me that he could hear the thunders. Damn to these stupid hearing aids - I couldn´t hear nothing.
Then a heavy rain was pouring down and a cold breeze swooshed through the house.
There is a beautiful legend about a strong rain during sunshine which happened after the downpour: if rain is falling while the sun is shining, it is said that the foxes are having a marriage. It´s called 狐の嫁入り (Kitsune no Yome-iri - it means: The Fox takes a Bride). There is a wonderful short sequence about it in Kurosawa Akira´s movie "Dreams":
It´s wonderful how Japanese legends are mostly connected with the nature.
