This photo was taken on the top of a parking lot structure after it had rained. My friend and I noticed how pretty the puddles looked with the clouds and sun, and wanted to take photos of our reflection. Then we decided it would be fun to make it look like she was holding the sun.

This photo relates to this year's contest theme, as it is rare or practically a phenomena when it rains in California, and my friends and I get the chance to take amazing reflection photos. This photo also represents the theme phenomena as reflection photos such as these always make the world look like a mystical place, and it's a phenomena when one gets to look in these puddles at the right angle to see this strange effect.

Lastly, another reason this photo connects to the theme phenomena is because the photo resembles a total eclipse, which only reoccurs in same place on average once every 300 years!
