The Rain Man!

As young school children, there were tales which spoke of a person who sprinkled water from the sky which we call rain. For the more religious oriented ones it was God for the others it was an angel. It was fun to think that there was someone in the sky with a hose sprinkling the water down in varying strengths on the public below.


Today this man in the sky caught my eye and reminded me of the men working closer to the clouds and heavens in Dubai.

It looked like the man was working on the clouds. Then after a short while in the evening it poured in Dubai - forcing me to smile and remember the man in the sky and wonder if he had anything to do with it.

“May the raindrops fall lightly on your brow. May the soft winds freshen your spirit. May the sunshine brighten your heart. May the burdens of the day rest lightly upon you, and may God enfold you in the mantle of His love.” ~ Irish Blessing

The downpour was fantastic!!! ...well, next time you see the rainmaker, kindly thank him from my side. You've captured the idea of The Rainman on camera beautifully! Even before I read what you've written, my first impression of the pictures was exactly what you meant it to be...that man is rolling those clouds around up there and showering us earthly creatures with rain.
