A constant hazard of doing photography, especially during rainy season.

Rainy Season is over now, but that is when I took this shot. I know rain's coming in the photo because moments after taking the shot it all let loose and I got very wet. I don't mind getting wet in the rain, but it's a little worrying when you have an expensive camera with you. Luckily it was fine.

This is a good spot to see herons and other nice birds. They are always flying up and down this area. In fact, often there is a group of photographers that gather here to do their bird photos.
