Should that dog obedience show go smoothly or be hit by a tornado?
Weather and scenery can either match moods or contrast with moods. It poured rain the day we held a graveside service for my mother. In spite of the gray day and all the noise from the rain and the way people tried to avoid mud puddles and huddle together beneath the tent, I found myself realizing that, had she still been alive,my mother would have had plenty of fun with the way Mother Nature had dumped water all over the place. I couldn't share the private joke with her any more, but I still held in a giggle at who she was and how she had fun.
A downpour during an outdoor wedding photo sesssion is a great way to either enhance the love all around or to accentuate the ambivalent feelings of those who were not in favor of that particular alliance. A first date in an air-conditioned symphony hall might be sweet and pleasant, but character might be better revealed or highlighted if the serenity of the concert is shattered by a 6.3 earthquake that shakes loose the hanging fixtures and and sends the audience into panic.
