Luka, Croatia, on the island of Dugi Otok. Fourth story balcony overlooking the town and the water. Distant thunder, with intense phasing from the Adriatic Sea and nearby hills, begins and is followed by rain that builds slowly, dues away, and returns with an intense burst, pouring onto the balcony’s tile and through the building’s metal rain gutters.
