LUMPHINI RAIN

This afternoon my partner and I took the opportunity to get out and about as the parks are finally open! Due to the Covid situation here in Bangkok, parks have been closed since April time. Luckily, from behind our home, we have great access to both the main parks in Bangkok - Benjakitti Park and Lumphini Park - both full of tropical greenery and if you look hard enough, lots of wildlife too. After wondering along the Green Mile Walkway we arrived at Lumphini Park. No sooner than we had arrived into the midst of the park (as happens often at this time of year) the Monsoon heavens opened and completely drowned us. For Covid reasons, there was one only way in, and one way out of the park. As we scrabbled around to try and find our way back out of the park the mixture of the rain, park lights and the elegant trees proved too beautiful to not stop and photograph - leading to even more of a drenching!
