A reflection of a landscape.
Best viewed on black.
This is old work of mine and wouldn't say it's representative of my style look a little further on to see some newer pieces.

This was taking in Rajhastan in Udaipur. Udaipur is home to the floating palaces, however we were there before the monsoon so the palaces weren't floating at all unfortunately, just standing. Technically they don't float they are just surrounded by water giving the illusion of flotation. This doesn't detract from how beautiful they are though and it was easily one of my favourite places in the whole of India. Every night at sunset from a cave a little down the river bed, hundreds of thousands of fruit bats would emerge every night like clockwork. They were truly majestic creatures. And I would sit and drink a beer and watch them cross the horizon.
We were staying on the top floor of a beautiful hotel and there was a sink which perhaps was an odd feature but was practical as you could wash your hands before you ate. The mirror cast a magnificent reflection. In hindsight I wish I'd taken more at the time this isn't particularly well composed, and the colours aren't vibrant enough. IT makes it look like an old photo.
I do enjoy a visual illusion. And am going to incorporate more mirrors and reflective pieces into my work.
Here's a couple of others, the first is a reflection and the second is an illusion;
