Precipitation of Light

Captured with a
Canon EOS 5D
and
75mm
lens at
f/8.0
for
1/400s
and
200 ISO.
It looks like snow, but I promise it was rain. It was much stronger than typical Vancouver rain, but the sun was still shining as if it was a clear day.
This is also shot into the sun, and the exposure is biased to the shadows, really pushing the effect.
