Bird reflects
The posts in the water are water fountains. They were turned off at sunset allowing for the reflection. Tripods were not allowed so this was handheld. In hindsight, I should have tried a higher ISO for a longer exposure to maybe get a better reflection.
The bird looks like a heron to me. You can see two more in the distance. I don't recall seeing fish in the water but I could be wrong. If there are no fish then I'm not sure what they are doing.
I've been known to stare at nature and contemplate my life (from mountains to bugs) But I have never stared at any thing made by humans before. I was to meet my party at the gate when the park was closing. It seems they close about 45 minutes after sunset as there are no lights in the complex. I had about 15 minutes by myself and i just sat on a bench. No picture taking, only clarity of thought wonderment.
