Rain wallpapers

Rain changes how a city or a field looks: surfaces turn into mirrors, lights spread into soft discs, and everything gets slower. The pictures on this page bring that mood to your screen without needing the weather.

Most were composed at night or in the grey light of a cloudy afternoon. Wet streets reflect signs and headlights, rain streaks across a window with a blurred world behind it, and drops sit on a leaf or a pane of glass. Bokeh is a big part of it; points of light become large, soft circles, and the picture works as a gentle colour field behind your icons.

The palette leans towards blue, teal and amber, the colours of reflected street light. A few pictures are pure monochrome and work well on a dark desktop.

Window pictures work well on phones, since the drops add texture while the middle remains clear for a clock. Street pictures fit wide monitors.

If you like this atmosphere, the city page has more night scenes, and the storm page pushes the drama up. The cyberpunk page shares the rain, with neon on top.
