I've seen several nice wildlife photos posted by others from North Point State Park outside of Baltimore, but no such luck for me. The few herons and egrets I saw were well out of reach for my setup. I did like the reflections at this Black Marsh Natural Area pool within the park.
The Winter Palace was the official residence of the Russian Emperors from 1732 to 1917. Today, the palace and its precincts form the Hermitage Museum. Situated between Palace Embankment and Palace Square, in Saint Petersburg, adjacent to the site of Peter the Great's original Winter Palace, the present and fourth Winter Palace was built and altered almost continuously between the late 1730s and 1837, when it was severely damaged by fire and immediately rebuilt. The storming of the palace in 1917, as depicted in Soviet propaganda art and Sergei Eisenstein's 1927 film October, became an iconic symbol of the Russian Revolution.
As completed, the overriding exterior form of the Winter Palace's architecture, with its decoration in the form of statuary and opulent stucco work on the pediments above façades and windows, is Baroque. The exterior has remained as finished during the reign of Empress Elizabeth. The principal façades, those facing the Palace Square and the Neva river, have always been accessible and visible to the public. Only the lateral façades are hidden behind granite walls, concealing a garden created during the reign of Nicholas II. The building was conceived as a town palace, rather than a private palace within a park, such as that of the French kings at Versailles.
The palace was constructed on a monumental scale that was intended to reflect the might and power of Imperial Russia. From the palace, the Tsar ruled over 22,400,000 square kilometers (8,600,000 sq mi) (almost 1/6 of the Earth's landmass) and over 125 million subjects by the end of the 19th century. It was designed by many architects, most notably Bartolomeo Rastrelli, in what came to be known as the Elizabethan Baroque style. The green-and-white palace has the shape of an elongated rectangle, and its principal façade is 215 metres (705 ft) long and 30 m (98 ft) high. The Winter Palace has been calculated to contain 1,886 doors, 1,945 windows, 1,500 rooms and 117 staircases. Following a serious fire, the palace's rebuilding of 1837 left the exterior unchanged, but large parts of the interior were redesigned in a variety of tastes and styles, leading the palace to be described as a "19th-century palace inspired by a model in Rococo style".

Here is a view of downtown Columbus from the Main Street Bridge. We were very lucky to have minimal wind early this morning, and the still water made for almost perfect reflections.

A quick escape on Lazy Sunday proved rewarding when the skies above me in North Bend, Wa opened up nearing sunset. Not that we had a real destination, my friend and I ended up along this trail and I noticed this comp with a pasture puddle. With fresh snow and storm clouds abound, Mt Si catches some rays and a reflection.
Reflections in glass, through a “Blaze” of monochrome, mirrors the supporting trinity that hold aloft a spiritual light of awakening in one’s life: the holy trinity and/or the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.
“The mystery of life isn’t a problem to solve… But a mystery to experience… A process that cannot be understood by stopping it. We must move with the flow of the process… We must join it… We must flow with it.”
