Entry 36

On rainy days there aren't any shadows on the pavement. Instead you get reflections of the objects and unlike the direction of the shadows, which are based on the location of a light source, the direction of the reflections are based on the location of the person viewing them. For example, if a person is walking between a car and a lamppost on a sunny day with the sun on the left the shadows of all three objects will be on each object's right. However, on a rainy day the reflections of the car and lamppost will tilt towards the person and will move as they move, while the person's reflection will disappear since that person will not be able to view their own reflection.
