In a small town Yoro in Honduras, a natural phenomena takes place every year. It’s called “The Fish Rain” or “Lluvia de Peces” and it typically happens in the spring or early summer. During the massive rain storm, hundreds of small silver fish supposedly rain from the sky onto the streets of the small town.

One hypothesis suggests that a fish-rain like this originates with waterspouts, which are tornadoes that move over water, sucking up small creatures living below the surface, usually fish and frogs and depositing them elsewhere.

However, waterspouts are not known to carry their aquatic cargo great distances. This doesn’t help explain this fishy weather, because the fish that end up stranded there are not indigenous to local rivers or streams.

National Geographic supposedly sent a team to Honduras to investigate the Rain of Fish in the 1970s. The team found that the fish were not from local waterways, but they were freshwater, not saltwater, fish. This meant they had to have come from rivers, lakes, ponds or streams.

Another interesting fact was that they were all the same blind species of fish. That led them to believe that the fish were coming up from underground, rather than raining down from the sky.

Have you ever felt tired? Have you ever wanted to lie near the window and just watched the rain for a while?

The rain is powerful. More powerful than you think because just looking at drops or feeling them on your face makes you feel strong. Like the rain washes all the dirt of your soul. Like it gives you the strength and motivation you had before all the problems and changes in life attacked you.

For those of you who feel this way right now, looking at the gallery we made with rain, will sure release you and make you feel “washed” and fresh so you can start winning all over again. And remember don’t just get wet when it’s raining, dance in the rain!

There’s something calming – to see how outside the window pouring rain is forming intricate patterns. Inspired by such weather, young British artist Francis McCrory, creates a stunningly realistic pictures.

His work is distinguished by a unique effect of presence: as if you look through the windshield of the car on the showers of rain. The style of the artist is unique – Francis not just depicts reality, but finds a balance between vision and feeling, to which all artists are so aspire.
