Week 39: Rain

Today (2013.09.27) I'm in Umeå, my beloved home town, and even though it is pouring my heart still beats for you, oh beautiful city of birches. Mankind's relationship to rain is quite dualistic; on one hand it is a nuisance in our everyday flow (and in rare cases a life threat), on the other hand a necessity for our whole eco-system to work. So today, especially if your in Umeå, stay in doors and answer my quiz!
