Reflection of San Remo Towers on the Central Park Lake, New York.
The 2nd largest man-made body of water in the Park (the Reservoir is the largest), the Lake was created originally from a large swamp.
The most popular use of the lake today is for row boating and the sturdy vessels can be rented at the Loeb Boathouse at the northeast corner of the Lake. Probably the best way to experience the variety of terrains that surround the man made body of water is a boat trip, and there are few greater pleasures to be had in Central Park then a leisurely cruise around the shoreline. Around the lake you can see places as diverse as the Bethesda Terrace, the Loeb Boathouse, the Bow Bridge or Hernshead, not to mention the fauna which includes ducks, mallards and a rather extended family of turtles. For the many years preceding the construction of Wollman Rink in 1951 the Lake was also the center of ice-skating in the park. This was a wildly popular diversion, especially at the turn of the century when as many as 40,000 people were reported to have skated in one day. It offered New Yorkers valuable exercise, as well as a socially acceptable place to socialize (although for many years one end of the lake was designated strictly for use by women).
Reflections in time
Canadian Museum of History
“In order to enter the exhibit space known as the Canadian History Hall, visitors are led down a striking corridor, brightly illuminated with warm light that reflects off 101 etched mirrors portraying scenes of Canadian culture. These illustrations show symbols of Canadian identity, culture, and communities and are based on feedback from Canadians who were asked where they see Canadian history in their day-to-day lives. The reflective surface is meant to remind the viewer that they, too, play a role in forming Canada’s history.
Once in the History Hall, visitors will note that consists of three separate galleries, which roughly represent three chronological stories of Canada’s 15,000-year relationship with human beings.
The museum partnered once again with the original architect, Douglas Cardinal, in its quest to modernize and revamp this exhibit space. For Cardinal, after four years of work, this new space represents “the culmination of his architectural vision for the museum.” (Museum CEO, Mark O’ Neill, 2017). This new exhibit space opened for the first time to the public on Canada Day 2017, Canada’s 150th birthday.”

I've got a thing about trying to record perfect reflections on the little pond in back of me. You'd be surprised how frequently the reflection has a tiny ripple from somewhere and isn't so good. I'm not sure I could ever do any better than this.
Autumn colors reflected in a pond at John A. Minetto State Park in Torrington, Connecticut. Taken during a <CT Flickr Meetup photo shoot.
I turned this photo upside down and cropped it closely to zoom in on the reflection of the horse and carriage moving through the watersplash.
Cathedral of the Holy Cross in the early twilight, late afternoon sun (with car roof and windshield reflections).
South End, Boston.
I took an image of this tree in the fields between Bromsgrove and Kidderminster....the rest is me playing around with it in Adobe Photoshop! Now I've uploaded it I can see where it needs improvement! I'll leave it up for a bit, while I improve my beginners skills in Photoshop. As you can probably see I'm learning how to use layers.

Reflection #4....beach towels drying on the side of a boat and reflecting in the water on Spa Creek.
Reflections on a calm morning at Jackson Lake.
What attracted me to this scene, apart from the mirror-like quality of the water, is the burst of orange in the middle of the frame.
Best seen large - please click on the image.
Finally :) It is so good to be back!
I got back from my work trip just today so just posting another image from the archives. I'm off to shoot again this weekend and I hope to get a few good shots to share with you all.
This is another image from the town of Hue, which was the ancient capital of Vietnam. The architecture is very much influenced by Chinese and we were treated with some beautiful structure, mausoleums and the grand ancient citadel.
Hope everybody is doing good. Will catchup with your stream today. Thanks for dropping by!
Another in my series of 'abstract reflections in Bangkok skyscrapers'......
Since my first visit to Thailand back in 2002 it was very noticeable how many new skyscrapers there were in Bangkok. Whereas before a few stood out now the skyline is full of highrise buildings. Consequently there were plenty of reflection shots like this to be taken.

From Wikipedia : "While most of Bangkok's streets are fronted by vernacular shophouses, the largely unrestricted building frenzy of the 1980s has transformed the city into an urban jungle of skyscrapers and high rises exhibiting contrasting and clashing styles. There are 581 skyscrapers over 90 metres (300 feet) tall in the city. Bangkok was ranked as the world's 8th tallest city in 2016."
