Heck, I did that in my hometown during a single storm: rain, heavy rain, sleet, hail, snow flurries, blizzard. All in a 15 minute time span.

My favorite photo editor app for Android: Photo Editor by dev.macgyver.

Simple to use, but quite powerful, and also with lots of "single click" effects.
(The free version contains ads)

For simple, overall adjustments, click the "Color" button and then you come to a dialog where you can adjust exposure, brightness, contrast, saturation, temperature, tint and hue.

Here's your photo with an exposure adjustment of "+127" in the Photo Editor app:

IIRC there have been wood-burning steam locomotives. Would those count as vegan?

Hertz must be diversifying their business model.

I just read an article from Barron's on Apple News which describes the writer's "experience driving a Tesla Model 3 with my wife and cat that we rented from Hertz."

Then vegan should include all coal-fired boilers, locomotives and power stations.

Depends what you consider a plant.
Aren't oil deposits from marine phytoplankton. Although they have chloroplasts, I don't think they are plants.

Phyto means plant IIRC. However, let me tell you a story about what can be called vegan.

I once saw the label "vegan" on my local, favorite brand of apple juice! I couldn't believe it. What else than vegan could apple juice be? So I decided to send them an email, asking, how in the world they could guarantee the absence of worms. (I know they are maggots, but we say worms here.) They responded and told me that their product is vegan because they do not use e.g. gelatine in the production process. Considering the maggots, they said, that these are inevitable to a small amount and that the apple juice is still vegan according to law.

So whatever fauna ended up as oil, consider it the maggots of apple juice.

The derivation of the prefix syllable does not determine how an organism is classified scientifically.

Not plants:
algae
floating single cells that can photosynthesize (both eukaryotic (algae) and prokaryotic (including cyanobacteria (from which chloroplasts are thought to have been derived))).

"What?"
"The pasta that looks like it."

"How old would you guess I am?"
"22 by your eyes, 19 by your smile, and 21 by your laughter!"
"Oh, thanks!"

At the farewell do, on the retirement of Dr. Smith.
Bruno asks Alan; "Is Dr. Smith married"?
Alan replies; "No, I don't think he is".
Bruno says; "That is lucky for his wife, isn't it".
