Cecil, Shelby and I headed to the big night market last night, despite the looming rainclouds in the distance. We took the world's slowest tuk tuk ride, and by the time we got there, almost all the vendors were in a mad scramble to pack things up before the storm.
I managed to find a pair of jean shorts, for 40 baht and then quickly made my way over to the food area to grab some dinner.
The air was FULL of energy and the sky, oh my goodness the sky. I have never seen such colors, such glowing intense light!!!! They ranged from the deepest of gray, to brilliant blue and then to vibrant purples, pinks, yellows and oranges. And because of all the different color, the sky had such depth, one layer was dark gray, and then just beyond that, the sun managed to illuminate a towering cumulous into fiery gold. Off in the distance, where the sun's rays barely reached, the heavens were a deep saphire, and every few moments, the the most crystal clear lightning bolts slashed across the horizon.
I found this whole thing to be outrageously exciting and spent a good while staring upwards, mouth agape and camera in hand, and I'm pretty sure the Thai folk thought I was a bit of a dunce. But I tell you, I have never seen a sky like that. These photos do not do it justice.
PS are the descriptions of this storm cliched? Yes. But cliches became cliches for a reason, because many people experience the same thoughts and emotion about certain subjects, so in the end I'm just trying to convey this stuff in the most relatable way!
