Warmest greetings friends, how do you do? How's the weather in your region today?
Here in my city, Aba, a gloomy sky signalled the arrival of Tuesday, followed by heavy rain, and with it, a cold weather. Not my favorite, though. 😒I've already caught the flu and the cold weather isn't helping.
You know, rainy mornings can be cozy. Perfect excuse to stay indoors, nestled under the comfy duvet, or with a warm drink. 😂 But how could you when the bills are staring at your face to sort them out? The rain wouldn't do that for you. Lol.
Luckily, I made it to the office, slightly drenched - as if I have a choice.
From my office window, along Azikiwe Road, I watched as the downpour drenched the streets, causing some people to seek refuge under shades, in-wait for the rain to subside, while others braved the elements, determined to make a living.
Neither rain nor shine can dampen the spirits of the hustlers.
As I watched the rain-soaked streets come alive, the gloomy sky above nudged me to capture the moment. And so, I did, in monochrome. I've actually developed interest in black and white photography these days. Monochrome photos are beautiful, timeless and I love the old school vibes they portray. Lol. I'm @tengolotodo can confirm this.
I had to zoom in to capture this one - a local food vendor, specialized in roasted treats - yams, plantains, potatoes etc, and served with palm oil sauce. She's still setting up for the day and I usually patronize her whenever I feel like enjoying these treats.
A wheelbarrow pusher and refuse collector.
I hope you'll like the photos showcasing the resilient people, the drenched streets on this Tuesday morning, 30th September, which of course is the last day of the month.
