Yesterday was the first full thunderstorm we've had since last winter - yay! The pouring rain and cool winds made the apartment smell sooo good - I love that stormy rain smell :) The pictures below show some of the clouds around our apartment just before the storm came rolling in.
That night, after the storm was long gone we went out for a run and what a beautiful run it was! The beach has a boardwalk from downtown Tel Aviv to our beach (and beyond...) and as we ran along it we could see the storm far out across the ocean with flashes of lightning lighting up the distant sky. I wish I had a picture of it! The boardwalk is also lit for a long time just by little lights along the ground so you still get the full effect of stars in the sky without the light pollution - it's amazing :) Stars, salty wind at your back, the fresh smell of rain and a distant thunderstorm over the ocean. Love it.
Cool! I didn't know you were doing a half marathon. Training gives you something fun to do :)
