Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. The light illuminating these mountains comes through breaks in the clouds behind me which are otherwise blocking the sunrise light from the scene. At the bottom of the frame is a small pool of water reflecting a bit of the scene above including the illuminated areas of the mountains, the tree silhouettes, and the blue waters of the lake. Scanned from a Kodachrome slide.

A reflecting pool at the Sunnylands garden at Rancho Mirage, California, near Palm Springs.
"Sunnylands Center & Gardens offers visitors a beautiful, tranquil, and environmentally sustainable space to learn about Ambassadors Walter and Leonore Annenberg, their history at Sunnylands, the famous people who visited, and the contemporary retreat program."
Sometimes you've got to get into the water to get the shot you had in mind. Seen from up on the mezzanine level at Nathan Phillips Sq.
On a moon lit night, I photographed Yosemite Falls as storm clouds streaked by. The starry sky can be seen through the moving clouds as the entire landscape is reflected in a flooded meadow in Yosemite Valley.
With the state of California (and others) experiencing extreme drought conditions, I wonder about many things, including what spring will be like this year in Yosemite Valley. How long will the waterfalls run before they dry up?

Sunrise at the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. Love the renovations & I’m glad they kept the ponds for reflection shots!
The night before this sunrise, the sunset forecast was not good so I wasn’t on the grounds with the thought of capturing a colorful shot. At the beginning, I was way on the other side of the pond, up by the trees and walkway parallel with the arch. I took some photos before realizing the color was looking good. I then looked at the clouds and realized they were the type that might really light up. At that point, I hustled (with camera mounted to tripod in hand) down and around the ponds to capture it. Not knowing when the color would go away, I managed to capture it from three different perspectives within seven minutes. It all happened quite quickly. It definitely was not a tranquil as it appears in this photo. I think this is called "working a shot". It was all worth it because It's definitely one of my favorites.

One of the two reflecting pools at Gateway Arch National Park, with morning light warming up the trees.
California's winter rain storms have led to springtime flooding of the Merced River that runs through Yosemite Valley.
The flooded plain yields many opportunities for reflected peaks and waterfalls like this early morning photograph.
The summertime like weather in the first week of May was a pleasant surprise.
The reflecting pools at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, offer interesting perspectives of this amazing place!

Luray Caverns, originally called Luray Cave, is a cave just west of Luray, Virginia, United States, which has drawn many visitors since its discovery in 1878. The cavern system is generously adorned with speleothems such as columns, mud flows, stalactites, stalagmites, flowstone, and mirrored pools. The caverns are perhaps best known for the Great Stalacpipe Organ, a lithophone made from solenoid-fired strikers that tap stalactites of various sizes to produce tones similar to those of xylophones, tuning forks, or bells. ~ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luray_Caverns

Three rows of 5 exposures, from a recent trip to explore the rocky desert of southern Utah. This little reflecting pool was a nice find in the middle of the clear-skied, dry desert, but it certainly didn't look all that nice in the daylight.
Thanks for taking a look!

After Rabat, Marvin and I pressed on to Marrakesh. As we entered the city limits, it became instantly clear that this was a very big city and navigating for me was going to be difficult, as I did not know French or Arabic. Some how we managed, but I will give all the credit to Marvin. We found a fairly economical place to stay, as we wanted to explore the city in depth.
Then Marvin shared more news with me. While driving here, he sensed that the transmission needed to be looked at. So after checking into a hotel, we went to a gas station looking for a mechanic. Luck was with us again and we found a skilled young man who was also very hospitable. He said that if we went with him to his home that he would fix the Volkswagen.
We followed him to his modest home where he lived with his mother. He insisted that I wait inside the house for the car to be fixed. I was concerned, as I didn’t want to inconvenience anyone. Again, I thought that to decline the invitation would be rude.
His mother welcomed me inside the house where she was watching television. She was watching vintage American cartoons duped in French. We ended up laughing and laughing, even though we could not actually say anything meaningful to each other.
When the job of fixing the transmission became more complicated, she asked her son to fetch some bread from the market. She shared the bread and some wonderful tea with me. Some how we found a way to communicate to the extent that she even decided to produce some of her medical bills and then tried to discuss her concerns with me. As a life long social worker, I am convinced that I have a SW written on my forehead because this has happened more than once in my travels.
I commiserated with her and we carried on about the unfair nature of societies and government. ( I think) Needless to say, I have always remembered these moments of waiting with great respect for the Arab and Muslim people of the world.
The picture is of one of several palaces found in Marrakesh. I am so disappointed that I didn’t take more photos. In my memories, however, I can picture the beauty of the city that Winston Churchill was so found of painting.
