Like Eight Ghostly Hobby Horses

Photo date: October 5, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. We see an astonishing arrangement that resembles eight "hobby horses." A hobby horse is a child's toy consisting of a toy horse head attached to a stick.

This photo was cropped from a photo containing the following strange anomaly: what looks almost like ghostly bullet shapes (although one can also imagine a more prurient comparison).
