Have You Ever Seen The Rain?
John Fogerty wrote this song about his brother Tom's departure from the band. They were very successful at the moment, and the departure was like a rain on the sunny day.
he B-side of this single, "Hey Tonight", was John Fogerty's message that the band would go on despite the ups and downs in their career.
John Fogerty was inspired to use a Hammond organ on this track after he had heard it during the performance of the group Booker T. & the M.G.'s which opened the Creedence Clearwater Revival's concert in 1970.
When John Fogerty introduced the song at a 2012 show in Arizona, he said, "This song was originally written about a very sad thing that was going on in my life. But I refuse to be sad now. Because now this song reminds me of my little girl, Kelsy, and every time I sing it, I think about Kelsy and rainbows."
Lyrics
"Have You Ever Seen The Rain"
Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know, it's been comin' for some time
When it's over, so they say
It'll rain a sunny day
I know, shinin' down like water
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
Comin' down on a sunny day
Yesterday, and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard
I know, been that way for all my time
'Til forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow
I know, it can't stop, I wonder
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
Comin' down on a sunny day
Yeah!
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
Comin' down on a sunny day

The Bernina Red Train
Departing from Tirano and passing immediately next to the majestic Basilica della Madonna di Tirano, considered one of the three most beautiful churches in Lombardy, the Bernina Train (also known as the Red Train) after a few kilometres reaches one of the most suggestive points of the route, the marvellous helical viaduct of Brusio.
After passing Lake Poschiavo and the town itself with its characteristic patrician houses and historic buildings, the train continues on to the Alp Grüm viewpoint at 2,091 m with a breathtaking view of the Valposchiavo. After passing Lago Bianco, you reach the Valico del Bernina, from where you can admire the imposing Morteratsch glacier and the Pizzo Bernina mountain group, the only four-thousand metre peak in the Central Alps.
From there, immersed in the silence and enchantment of the landscape, the Red Train begins its descent towards the 1,775 m altitude of St. Moritz, the destination of this incredible journey.

Walking in the Heart of Impressionism Painting - The Cliffs at Etretat
The cliffs at Étretat seem to be a popular subject to paint. They have been painted by several famous artists such as Claude Monet, Eugene Boudin, Gustave Courbet, Gustave Loiseau and Henri Matisse.
The reason the cliffs are such a popular subject to paint is most likely the naturally strong design created by the formation of the cliffs. You have a very strong and unique shape created by the cliffs, which contrasts against the soft shapes and lines created by the shoreline, clouds and any waves. It just seems to tick many boxes in terms of composition.
