It's raining gold!

What kind of Lens did you use?

The multiple drops and multiple sizes of drops caught my attention as I was cleaning up files, so I rescued this summer shot from the ol' storage folder. Its kind of interesting to see how many places you can find refractions when viewed large.

What could be better on a grey Saturday than a little cleaning up? I cleaned up my car, but unfortunately didn`t stumble across anything remarkable or pretty. Unlike you I must say - you seem to have established quite a reputation as "The Master of Refraction" (although I liked "Duke of Drib" as well). It`s a great golden summer shot. Looks like a whole drop family with many generations of drops caught during a big family reunion. Faved despite the hideous black border.
