I’d seen these many times. They’ve been hanging from this post for months and somehow they have not lost their lustre. It was a nice sunny day and and they were shining brightly when I decided to capture them in all their glory. As I was taking the picture I noticed that they were not quite as perfect as I thought: the piece projecting downward (I don’t know what it’s called) from the bottom is missing from the ball on the left.

Taken with a Sony Nex 5N and Nikkor 85mm f2.
