I found this Rain Chain last week at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay - Just a few days before Hurricane Sandy arrived.... I framed this against a group of trees that were all decked in their Autumn color - I also shot this at 45 degree angle to create some additional visual interest.
