Overcast Quote by Mynah K
““There is something truly extraordinary about a tropically-designed city when viewed in overcast light. The neon paints that swarm the buildings maintain their luminosity even in the thin fog, and their voices crackle like those of sleepless children—for even in elderly weather, everything about them is eerily youthful.””
