Hierve Al Agua
Hierve el Agua (Spanish for "the water boils") is set of natural rock formations in the Mexican state of Oaxaca that resemble cascades of water. The site is located about 70 km east of Oaxaca city, past Mitla, in the municipality of San Lorenzo Albarradas, with a narrow, winding unpaved road leading to the site. The site consists of two rock shelves or cliffs which rise between fifty and ninety metres from the valley below, from which extend nearly white rock formations which look like waterfalls. These formations are created by fresh water springs, whose water is over-saturated with calcium carbonate and other minerals. As the water scurries over the cliffs, the excess minerals are deposited, much in the same manner that stalactites are formed in caves. One of the cliffs, called the "cascada chica" (small waterfall) or the Amphitheatre, contains two large artificial pools for swimming as well as a number of small natural pools. One of the artificial pools is very near the edge of the cliff.
Today we had a good day.
I decided to bring my flickr friends on a small trip around Paris. I wanted to show them the Eiffel tower...
when we finally arrived on the pont Mirabeau it was already late.
I had but few minutes to spend with my friends.
Nailbender decided to reflect on the hurry of french. Never on time but always in a hurry.
This is part of a game
The reflecting pond on the way to Milford sound. On a clear day one can see much of the mountain range reflected in the pond.

Carved natural boulders, weathering steel. 2007.
The sculpture group occupies a courtyard at Cleveland State University’s downtown campus with views from the adjacent law library. Imagery in the work explores fundamental concepts in law in an abstract sculptural form.
this is like one of those illusion things, only certain (very clever?) people can see me in this picture
Sunset reflected on the Sage at Gatshead. The compressed perspective of this telephoto shot gives the impression that it's some great leviathan bearing down on the Baltic
Visited the Capilano Suspension Bridge where they have these large reflecting balls hanging from trees. Not too fond of fiddling with tripods and camera settings in the cold though.
Classic cars (and, if you look closely, the photographer) reflected in the polished chrome wheel of a Sunbeam Talbot 90 at Dallas' All British and European Car Day.
Freedom tower (aka the new World Trade Center building) reflected in one of the other lower Manhattan skyscrapers
Male mallard walking and reflecting on the thin layer of ice.
Recent very cold weather created a thin layer of ice on parts of the park lake. Had to grab a few quick photos. Temps to warm the next several days so most of it will slowly begin to melt.
Day 11:
We can see ourselves reflected in the faces and the names of those that have gone before us, and paid the ultimate price.
Today, I am grateful for our nation, and all of the many people that have fought, and even died, to protect all of the things our nation stands for. Thank you for your service!
(I am also grateful that I am spending the day with the folks in this photo! We went to D.C. last year and spent a lot of time at monuments honoring the men and women that founded this nation, and fought to protect it. We've ALL come a long way, and grown up a lot, in the last year year and half - grateful for that too! )
A fine, crisp autumn morning in the Mammoth Cave campground, reflected in the back of a Chevy Suburban.
Water pools near Wyming Brook a great pattern of floating grasses and reflected trees shimmer in winter light.
This was the concept of the twin reflecting pools at the 9/11 Memorial designed by Michael Arad.
"In what was the foundations of the majestic towers, Arad has carved out what he calls “voids”—a pair of black granite craters, each 192 x 192 feet square and set 30 feet down into the footprints of the Twin Towers. Each of the cubic voids support falling waters streaming into sunken reflective pools, and further into central, square drainage basins." 9/11 Memorial & Museum
Sometimes you wake in the middle of the night and realize that the sound you took for wind in the trees is really the whirring of air conditioners. What is it that has stayed the same, and what has changed?
But there is pleasure too—have you forgot?—in late morning sun on red brick and the sounds of your neighbor's children in the alley, and the unexpected buzz of cicadas in the night. Summer isn't over yet.
