Downtown Santa Ana (Weekend Reflections # 120)

Santa Ana, California (photo taken on top of a parking structure)

I took this picture a few months ago after it rained. It rarely rains here, so I try to look for reflections when it does.  Who am I trying to kid, I'm always looking for reflections. :)
