Angela May Chen takes beautiful shots of the San Francisco valley through the perspective of puddles. While most people hide inside on rainy days, this creative takes to the streets to find giant puddles suitable for her photography series.

She captures lovely images seen through the puddles' reflections. Some of the reflections include the neighbourhood homes, the cloud-filled sky, the city's trams and the iconic Golden Gate Bridge.

The images' compositions are truly intriguing. They look surreal due to their duel perspective visuals. You can still see the puddles and the ground that surrounds them, alongside the visuals that they reflect. It almost looks like two photos were flipped upside down side-by-side to seem symmetrical.
