Ominous Portents

A sticky, still, humid day stuck indoors making sure Arthur perseveres with his summer holiday homework. Break time for him is break time for me. Perfect timing. Just as I left for a stroll along the beach, the wind came up and the rain came down, just as I had hoped it would. No umbrella, just enjoyed the refreshment provided by the elements. There is a typhoon approaching, scheduled to hit us tomorrow afternoon. Seeing this in the harbour struck me as an ominous portent.

Orage - Franz Lizst
I love that Lizst directed pianists to destroy the piano in the process of playing this piece. This guy is really giving it a go!
