Lit my candles tonight and thought this might look like and interesting photo. There is only one row of candles lit.
If you view this at the largest size, you might spot a couple of drops of rain hitting the pool surface.
Tried here to capture the ghostly images reflected in the watery sidewalk of the trees lit up on 5th Avenue.
Reflecting On Trees
Inspired by Russell, I managed to get some golden tones, Behind The National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas Lichfield .Staffordshire
Loughborough at 09.15 on Saturday morning, the sun is still low, behind the boiler, when reflected light momentarily picks out some of the polished brass and steel on Modified Hall Class 6990 "Witherslack Hall" at the start of the GCR event, 21/22 November 2015
I happened upon this Garter Snake laying on the cattails as I waded the pond. I hoped to get close for a picture but he dove in between my legs. I was intrigued when I looked at this shot more closely and saw the reflection of trees in his eye.
An old Austin reflected in the paintwork of a Buick 8.

I took this in beautiful Limburg in Germany last year - love the reflections. I've been reflecting on lots of things lately. Too many things probably....

Westminster Cathedral in office windows, Victoria, London, UK
Lame title I know but...
I live on the other side of the city, and don't often see this view, With the sky and reflection I could not resist a shot. So in a way the title is appropriate in more than the obvious way. I was intrigued by the different point of view, and also how small the skyline looks from this angle. Philadelphia is one of the larger cites in the country, but center city is not all that big. It is manageable. I like that.
...at the Saatchi Gallery, London, with the Georg Herold sculptures in the background reflected in a vibrating mirror that reacted to passing movement to blur the reflections. I just like the space and figures in this room. Oh, and taken with a small Pentax P&S that was to hand.
Super gallery space and an inspiring place to 'people watch'

This shot is very thought provoking for me.
Not only am I reflecting on my training & life events, but am literally reflecting in the water.
I've always loved the water. Being in it, & on it. Water is so soft, yet it can break down the hardest of materials.
My thoughts can't help but drift to the poor people of Japan. The devastation, & suffering, brought on by water.
The images on TV & on-line are just heart wrenching.
My thoughts & prayers are with them.
Sorry for my absence from flickr for a few days. I'll try to get caught up on all my contacts recent posts. Still really busy do bare with me.
Only 5 weeks from the Boston Marathon!
Ran a half marathon yesterday in 1:43:18 That was 1/2 number 3 in the past 10 weeks.
My sole perfectly mirrored in a small moorland pool. Captured on a very rare occasion when the air was still and the sun in exactly the right position to turn a small puddle into a perfect reflecting pool. The ground was very wet and soggy making it very challenging to balance for long enough to capture these images. I'm really pleased with how they have turned out. Your thoughts are welcome as always!
This past year has definately had it's ups and downs...
from graduating from tearing muscles and having 2 surgeries to leaving home and leaving old friends to starting college and making new...
I thank everyone for the support that I have gotten...even it has only been a little, I've at some pretty strong support to get me through my rough spots, so
thank you everyone (I mean this from the bottom of my soul!)
Goodbye 2009 Hello 2010!
Hanging over one of the bridges crossing Taylor Creek to photograph this reflection of riverside trees reflecting in the barely moving water.
If you check the EXIF info for this shot you'll see no lens info. I shot this using a vintage Canon 135 mm f/3.5 lens which used to be my father's, one he used on his Leica M3. I bought an adapter for it so I could use it on my MFT camera. Aperture is manually set (f/5.6 in this case), and focusing is manual, too. Takes me back.

About the Photo
Taken at the aptly named 'Pretty Beach', on the New South Wales Central Coast.
I wasn't expecting to find anything like this when I arrived at Pretty Beach, but the very first thing I saw upon walking through the scrub land to the beach was a small, shallow lagoon surrounded by a seemingly untouched 'cliff' of sand (it was about a foot high), formed by erosion from the lagoon. In addition however was a perfect reflection in the water. I couldn't believe my luck!
I tried a few shorter exposures, but didn't like the amount of detail in the clouds/reflection. I decided to use my ND filter to bring contrast between the soft flowing clouds and the crisp edges of the sand.
I never planned on converting this to monochrome, but upon playing around in Camera Raw, I found the monochrome version to really suit the photo the best. Enjoy :)

About Coastal Erosion
Coastal erosion is the wearing away of land and the removal of beach or dune sediments by wave action, tidal currents, wave currents, or drainage (see also beach evolution). Waves, generated by storms, wind, or fast moving motor craft, cause coastal erosion, which may take the form of long-term losses of sediment and rocks, or merely the temporary redistribution of coastal sediments; erosion in one location may result in accretion nearby. The study of erosion and sediment redistribution is called 'coastal morphodynamics'. It may be caused by hydraulic action, abrasion, impact and corrosion.
On non-rocky coasts, coastal erosion results in dramatic (or non-dramatic) rock formations in areas where the coastline contains rock layers or fracture zones with varying resistance to erosion. Softer areas become eroded much faster than harder ones, which typically result in landforms such as tunnels, bridges, columns, and pillars.
The ability of waves to cause erosion of the cliff face depends on many factors. The hardness or ‘erodibility’ of sea-facing rocks is controlled by the rock strength and the presence of fissures, fractures, and beds of non-cohesive materials such as silt and fine sand.

...this old man stood still at this spot for a long time, he did not move. Not once. His head slightly bowed, and hands together.....behind him the hustle and bustle of the city continued uninterrupted...
