Monsoon sky

 I haven't been online with Blogger since about 2016, then just remembered that today is Friday and I used to contribute to Skywatch Friday. Click on the link and see the skies from other parts of the world. Let's see if this still works.


I live in Lao PDR and usually am at my house in Vientiane, the capital. There has been heavy rain, every day and all day, during the past two weeks of the monsoon season.  I live near the Mekong river so I've been watching the rising water, hoping it doesn't go over the embankment. But for many people, especially this small fishing village, their shacks have been washed away - but they are still fishing, to get their lives going today. 

The sky looks nice right at the moment, but it has been a solid gray since the start of the rainy season, except for a short time period 2 days ago, when I saw the moon and stars when I woke up at 3 am.
