We have been having a lot of rain with thunderstorms over the past week. This is quite unusual for June and has been ruining a lot people's vacation plans...people who organised beach holidays and instead of lying around in the sun in bikinis had to stay indoors with long pants and sweatshirts!
But, the rain is wonderful for the local vegetation and we have to be thankful for every drop that falls in a region that is battling against the phenomenon of desertification. And the cooler temperatures are a welcome relief from the oppressive heat that plagues us for most of the summer months.
p.s. My comment yesterday about the "architectural splendors" to be unveiled was tongue-in-cheek. I'm sure what lies below the wrappings on that building will be no more interesting than say, the building in this picture. Despite the great view on our seaside promenade when looking towards the sea, if you turn around and look inland the buildings are pretty dismally bland.

The same here. The only thing worth looking at are the natural sceneries.
Strange summer, beautiful mornings turn in rainy afternoons or the other way around. Being still at work, I don't dislike it.
And, as you say, it's a boon for any kind of vegetation.
Summer thunderstorms can often lead to great photos, like this one. Very well done!
I like this shot :-)
Looks like the weather in Italy is similar to that in northern Greece...
