"Awestruck," by Colin

Southern France is well known for its summer thunderstorms....

Awestruck

Boom! Crash! Bang!
The sky is illuminated by a blanket of light,
the rolling thunder close behind.
A jagged bolt briefly bridges two clouds,
and we stand as it begins to rain, awestruck.

-Colin Diego Sackett

  4. It was nice meeing you guys in that Thai restaurant in the China town part of Paris. I hope that the "catacombes visit pleased Colin and you both kept in mind that it was only the tip of the iceberg that you were looking at?

    Your travel blog looks great and is pleasant to read. The photos smell of lavenda and you can nearly hear "les cigales", makes you want to catch a plane and GOOOOOO
