Rain on Geraniums in Norway Under Noon Clouds

Water streaks fall through the flat white glare of a noon sky heavy with fast-moving grey and white cloud bands. A darkened wooden window box cradles clusters of vibrant red geraniums beneath the downpour. Petals glisten with fresh rain while green leaves droop slightly under the weight of the early spring thaw. The rough, weathered wood grain shows signs of Nordic winters. Above, the chaotic sky races across the frame. Rain falls across the box rim and pools on the wood surface. A droplet slides down the edge of the box, merging with the wet grain.
