Rainy Monday

I love the retro looking background in this drop, and the smooth, umbrella shape.
This is a Worthington water drop, named after A.M. Worthington, who helped pioneer high speed photography and wrote many papers on the subject, one of which was a study of milk splashes.
The jets are four to six inches tall, and are in the portrait, or vertical orientation. These Worthington jets are often three drop collisions. This is where the second water drop is closely following on the heels of the first drop. The second drop reaches the pool of water, just as the first drop has created a crater in the pool, which then both drops crown, and then shoot up very tall and fast, like a roller coaster. The third drop then falls on top of both drops.
