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 - nƤherte sich eine grosse tiefstehende Wolkenfront, die das Licht der untergehenden Sonne reflektierte und die Landschaft in ein ausssergewƶhnlich weiches und warmes Licht hĆ¼llte.
In recent weeks I have been working on a project called Reflected Petals. This has involved taking a top-down image of a flower and then using mirror distortions to create a symmetric design. If the starting image has plenty of detail and some colour contrast you get some really interesting results.
Iāll eventually get around to sharing the outcomes of the project here on Flickr (though I have already published pictures like this over the years).
Ironically this particular image is not part of the main project, but something I did last night when I was bored and desperately trying to think of something to do for Sliders Sunday today. I should have really been going to bedā¦
Normally I would use the Distort > Mirror filter in Affinity, but here I used the Chromebook running an Android app called Mirrorlab. This program is great fun to play with (if you like that sort of thing), but you soon drift far away from visual realityā¦
This image is based on a picture of an ox-eye daisy that I published here seven months ago. The quickest way to get a suitable starting image on to the Chromebook last night was to download it from Flickr. Iāll publish a link to the in-camera image as usual in my first comment.
I like this result because of all the woven petals - thatās not an effect you would get in Affinity. Like a lot of these distorted images, most of the beauty comes from the original flower, and the repetition and distortion encourage you to look more closely at what nature has already achieved.
I hope you enjoy it anyway. Normal, undistorted service will resume tomorrow :)
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image! Happy Sliders Sunday :)

After my first night in Florida I woke up very early. So I went to the beach and watched the sun rise. It was so beautiful! Thank you, jet lag!!!
Definition of REFLECT (verb): surface: show the image of something; show the existence or nature of something; think about something carefully.
Our ship was "sailing" again distorting the mountain reflection in the fiord.

One morning I walked into our bedroom and the sun was shining so brightly and reflecting its light onto the opposite wall. It seemed magical to me! The curtain is an addition to a special corner! The quality of the image is not good but I thought I would post it anyway.
I am sorry that I have not been around much but I was having such trouble with Flickr that I decided to cool it for a couple of days!
Thanks so much for your visits!!!
I was taught to never just take a photo of someone else's art, but that is always OK to photograph art when presenting something other than just the art itself. It is always the point to see something with a fresh eye.
I just love a great reflection and doesn't matter from water or ice or mirror or windows... I always seek for these opportunities. So much so that I forgot to even capture ducks close by. So taken by the movements and colours. This was not achieved by intentional movement of my camera but by nature's water movement.

It tough work for a tree to grow in a swamp. The vast majority of trees simply can't do it; they'd drown! But bald cypress and tupelo gum trees have mastered the feat of surviving in sodden soils. This is in large part due to their "knees." While there are several theories as to the function of these knobby outgrowths, the prevailing thought is that they allow these water-logged trees to breathe!
