This afternoon I was in Farm Gate and got caught in an unseasonable, heavy downpour. Along with about 2000 other people I found shelter in the porch of Anondo cinema. I had my camera with me and took some pictures. (Click on the photos for larger size.)
The skies darkened around 4pm...

... at first it pitter-pattered...

...and then, boy oh boy, it came down really hard.

Some were well-prepared...

...while others tried their best with what was on hand...

...and yet others gave up.

Meanwhile... in the bus, being close to the door spelt trouble...

...while those seated inside only had to worry about steamed up windows.

Kids got along famously with the rain...

... as did some adults!
