    I once lived in the grasslands of Illinois where on a cool spring morning after a rain the smell was euphoric. Something I dearly miss as I have rarely smelt it since leaving. Science now brings clarity to my olfactory nerves. If only I could bottle the smell of my "Illinois morning".

    thanks for sharing this article Odif. there really is a distinct smell to rain. I just figured it was all about the ozone rather than bacteria.
