    Datura's looks like a drop of blue food coloring to me .. but that's the obvious guess.

    Is this a flowing water on the faucet or a crystal one? Very impressive.

    No, it was amazing to me as well when I took a series of shots of this. I have more from that location, so later I will post a different one.

    What is it?

    This is NOT an extreme close up.
