   Every weekend we present a notable item from our archives.

   This EPOD was originally published December 24, 2011.

   Within these decorative  water drops is the  inverted image of
   the flowers in my garden and my house in Paris, France. A liquid drop
   acts as a  simple lens, like a camera lens, so the  refracted
   image is upside-down when viewed through the drop. Note that these
   drops have more or less spherical shapes because  surface tension
   minimizes the surface area of a drop of water or even a  falling
   raindrop. Photo taken in early September 2011.

   Photo Details: Canon EOS 7D camera; 100mm macro lens with macro rings.
     * Paris, France Coordinates: 48.856667, 2.350833
