New York-based photographer Navid Baraty captures the beauty of a rainy day in a big city.

New York’s summer started as many others: very humid, and incredibly hot. This week mother nature has decided to give everyone a little break by sending some nice, refreshing rain. Even though most people will pray to the sun gods for the pleasant weather to return, here at DOWNTOWN, we are embracing the weather by looking on the bright side: rain is romantic. Yes New Yorkers, love is in the air. For the gentlemen out there, here are some of the best rain scenes of all times–just in case you need some tips. Ladies, prepare yourselves to be amazed, it’s finally time to feel like the envied actresses in all those classic romance films.
