The 'rain' is metallic silver raindrops are words in Irish and English that An Post says "are everyday expressions for rain". They include "rotten", "bucketing", "wetting rain" and "raining stair rods", "ceobhrán" and "brádán".
The stamp carries a ‘W’ (worldwide) designation for international posting.
In a statement, An Post says that like the Inuit peoples who have 50 different words for snow, the Irish have accumulated a similar number describing rain.
The concept is the work of Amsterdam-based Irish designers, The Stone Twins. Garech and Declan, who have taken a witty approach to stamp design using weather to represent Irish identity and the Irish people’s obsession with rain, in all its forms, as a topic of conversation.

I was in Albufeira Portugal I was waiting for the full moon to come up and it did not let me down.
The orange and red tints that the Moon sometimes take on rising and setting are caused by the particles in the Earth's atmosphere. When light (or more specifically, packets of light called photons) from an astronomical object passes through the Earth's atmosphere, it scatters off of particles in the latter.
What a unbelievable night and morning out storm chasing, These number of thunderstorms had to be the best in years as most of the lightning was CG bolts. I even manage to captures Two to three CG bolts in one shot.
