Photo: Wet Pavement Rain

A dreary looking wet section of pavement during a heavy shower of rain on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand.

There's no question that the West Coast of New Zealand is well known for rain, but it's the rain that helps keep the landscape vibrant and bursting with life. In the towns and cities however, as in any built up area, puddles collect on the wet pavement and add to the sense of dreary.
