Photo by @bethjwald // We had welcome relief yesterday from the incessantly hot and dry weather here on the Front Range, and I was reminded of how miraculously rain can transform a landscape - like in this photo taken of rain clouds clearing over a village and rolling hills in rural Herat Province, Afghanistan. The spring rains have turned brown hills and fields green with grass, a boon for the villagers and Kuchi nomads who use the grasslands for spring grazing of flocks of sheep, goats and camels. This region of Afghanistan is famous for its grasslands and used to support not only herders and farmers but large flocks of gazelles, wild ass and other wildlife – war, changes in land use and drought have diminished both numbers of wildlife and domestic herds. Here in Colorado, the rain yesterday was not yet enough to end the severe drought and crippling heat plaguing much of the mountain west, but hopefully it is the beginning of the monsoon season and more will come. Across the world, people worry about whether needed rains will arrive in time, and if they will be sufficient; or if they will come too late, and be too strong. Climate change has thrown a wrench into the weather systems that so much of the world’s population, especially in poor, rural regions like this part of northwest Afghanistan - depend on. #everydayafghanistan #moonsoonrains #letitrain #herat @thephotosociety
