I’m 31 years old & I only just found out that apparently sighted people see rain?!?!

The rain actually falling from the sky not hitting ground.

Mind blown.

I have seen photos of rain but just assumed you could see it because it was a static image...

And for any asshats yes I know when it’s raining, I can feel, hear & smell rain. Also I can sometimes see splashes on the ground or wet ground. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☔️" title="Regenschirm mit Regentropfen" aria-label="Emoji: Regenschirm mit Regentropfen">

Also I just ran into Other Half’s office & before even a good morning I started quizzing him about how he sees rain.

This is just like discovering you can see leaves in trees & not just green... that was a hell of a revelation too

It& #39;s been wonderful reading all your different descriptions of rain! They are so beautiful https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌧️" title="Wolke mit Regen" aria-label="Emoji: Wolke mit Regen">

Now you& #39;ve thought about how you describe the world you see, why not learn how to add those descriptions to your photos on social media? So I can see them too! https://caneadventures.blog/2019/12/02/alt-text-on-social-media/">https://caneadventures.blog/2019/12/0...

Lots of you are commenting how this thread makes you reflect on your sight & what you take for granted.

So please educate yourselves about visual impairment & the barriers created by an inaccessible society.
