Deeply Breathing in the fresh air during a impromptu thunderstorm.

Or deep breaths of fresh air in general. I was living in the city for about 7 years and was unaware what truly fresh air is until I took a trip to Alaska and was hiking around the glaciers...that feeling of experiencing it for the first time...

I love that feeling! I think one of my favourite scents is that dry, humid smell you get just before rainfall on a particularly dry day. Think it's fantastic.

And on the point of truly fresh air; I live in a city 2/3rds of the year, yet I travel home to rural North Wales for small periods of times to visit family. The second I step out of the car at home the freshness of the air is astounding. Feels like my lungs can actually breathe.
