“Childhood is not only the childhood we really had but also the impressions we formed of it in our adolescence and maturity. That is why childhood seems so long. Probably every period of life is multiplied by our reflections upon the next.”
Cesare Pavese
I went shopping yesterday for a new pair of trousers, but didn't find anything nice. So perhaps the sewing machine may have to come out again. These pins my come in handy. HMM:)
"The more an object is polished or brilliant, the less you see its own color and the more it becomes a mirror reflecting the color of its surroundings."

Sometimes we’re able to plan a specific photograph, and leave almost no room for coincidences or misfortune. Also, sometimes we just explore some locations and see whatever the day and the light gives us (probably my favorite!). But there are times where you just happened to be at (or very nearby) a location that you want to shoot for some time and you just have to accept the given circumstances at the time. This is the type a lot of hobbyists like myself have to deal with every now and then, and so it was the case at this quite beautiful spot at Zierikzee. On a time window of only half an hour I was trying to make the most of this ‘golden hour’ that never came. The sun was going down behind the tower, just on the right side, but I didn’t even see a glimpse of it. So the result was a nice moody sky, but a very dark subject. Then rain started pouring down and I had to look quickly for a shelter. But after a few minutes, the rain stopped and suddenly some beautiful reflected light from the clouds behind me appeared on the city gate. I was amazed by the difference it made to the scenery and although the wind was blowing significantly, I was able to get a nice reflection by using a 6-stop nd filter. So at the very last minute I luckily came away with a decent photograph. Eventually I was a bit late for the sports tournament I participated in, and where I had to be in the first place. But hey, you’re a photographer or you’re not!
Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!
A superb reflection of a downtown, Vancouver building looked especially enticing. The strong white structure and its reflection, against the perfectly, uninterrupted blue sky was appetizing. It had me thinking of how to top this banana split with a cherry. However, rather than putting it on top, the bottom of the image favoured this appealing thought.
losing someone makes you take a step back and reflect ~ days ago my rl cousin became one of God's angels...we grew up together, partied together and even though time drifted us apart I still feel and will always feel this togetherness as cousins do. I wish her peace in her new journey as she is now painfree...♥
From the right - not visible in this picture - a large low cloud front approached, reflecting the light of the setting sun and covered the landscape with an exceptionally soft and warm light.
Von rechts - auf diesem Bild nicht sichtbar - näherte sich eine grosse tiefstehende Wolkenfront, die das Licht der untergehenden Sonne reflektierte und die Landschaft in ein ausssergewöhnlich weiches und warmes Licht hüllte.
“Cities, like dreams, are made of desires and fears, even if the thread of their discourse is secret, their rules are absurd, their perspectives deceitful, and everything conceals something else.”

My keychain.
One and All is the motto that represents unity and inclusiveness and reflects the spirit of Cornish people. The fifteen balls (bezants/coins) on the shield is the coat of arms of the Duke of Cornwall. The bird is a chough and is a small, glossy black crow with a long, curved red bill and a symbol of Cornwall. The crown represents the Duchy of Cornwall. The miner and fisherman represent the trades of what once brought Cornwall much wealth.
This keychain holds my keys and reminds me of my Cornish roots day after day.
HMM!
