The photo above shows multiple, miniature views of the Eiffel Tower in Paris as observed through water drops. It was taken, using a macro lens, through the window of my apartment following a rain shower. Because the drops act as simple lenses, the refracted image, the view we see with our eyes, is upside down. I rotated the scene so that it's now right side up. The effect of gravity on the drops gives them a somewhat flattened appearance. Note that the larger and more spherical shaped drops provide the clearest views. Colorful fall foliage can be detected in the foreground of the drop-scapes.
