Urban snaps: Before the rain

The cloudy sky in Brussels is famous, famously gray one could say but sometimes it also offers amazing shades and shapes, just before the rain (or after) and some of the instagrammers posted great photos to illustrate this.

Photographer Eric Ostermann captured this lovely view:

Zahra Muller caught this moment with Brussels rooftops and the gray sky.

And last but not the least, Instagram user Esther @estherisastar posted an interesting comment:

What a sky! Moments before the sky opened up and threw down an explosion of rain. Photo taken from the Mont des Arts. A friend was visiting this week for the first time, and he said it was too wet and chilly here, but I’ll take it for epic skies like these.
