Water Bubbles Magnified

There is a culvert in fron of my home. During a rain storm the water rushes down carrying oils from the road surface. My wife noticed an accumulation of bubbles about 6 inches across near our driveway. I used a telephoto lens to photograph them and then enlarged the image to illustrate the bubble detail. The colors are from the oils in the water and the wall like structure is from the surface tension of the water.
