A system and/or method for sensing the presence of moisture (e.g., rain) on a window such as a vehicle window (e.g., vehicle windshield, sunroof or backlite). At least one sensor capacitor (7, 8) is supported by a window (10) such as a vehicle windshield, the capacitor(s) having a field that is affected by moisture (e.g., rain) on a surface of the window. The at least one sensing capacitor has a fractal geometry.
