Adha.

12 June – 24 June. Between squalls the light is extraordinary — fast, saturated, brief.

Heavy rain days broken by sudden bright spells. Maldivian fishermen and farmers have planned by Adha for centuries; the almanac says the same thing every year, and it is right more often than the forecast.

For photographs: between squalls the light is extraordinary — fast, saturated, brief. Hulhangu is quieter on the islands and the sunsets are the best of the year; if it rains, we wait twenty minutes.
