Monsoon Rains

People on bicycles and on foot scrambling for cover under open marketplace. Blinding rain and deafening noise from the metal roofs were very common during the afternoon thunderstorms or almost anytime during monsoon season. I don’t recall where this was in 1972 … possibly the Philippines which really gets clobbered by the rain. Also puzzled by yellowish, tower-like structure behind the shed. These downpours could last for hours. By the look of empty racks of bottles maybe the folks didn't mind waiting if the beer was flowing.
