the reflection of the sunset, on the front of the lifeguard tower, on top of the bluff, at the san clemente state park
This is the marina on Clover Island in Kennewick. It was a pretty calm night which made for a perfect reflection in the water.
I'm reaching back to a Tokyo image I took in April. This was one of my last night in Tokyo and I didn't have my tripod. The weather forecast was for rain most of the day and evening, so I decided I wouldn't haul my tripod around with me all day. Of course, by late afternoon the rain had stopped, and it wasn't worth the time to travel back to my hotel to grab my tripod. For the early part of the evening I had to improvise with my coat and camera bag. It worked out pretty well.
This was taken in a few blocks away from the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Japan. I thought the refelctions looked interesting. The slight breeze caused the water to move slightly, to cause the blur. I thought iflipping the image upside down gave this a more interesting feel

This is a wonderful illustration of the historic/traditional Chinese garden architecture and how well environmental elements of nature are used and integrated into the setting to create sense of harmony and impressive visual appeal.
The location is in the Qing Dynasty's Summer Palace in the north west outskirt of Beijing, China. It was intended to create a scene inspired by the waterways that crisscrossed dwellings, markets, and gardens of a southern China city Suzhou.
Here the key elements are, water and reflections in the foreground; hill with dense trees and srubbs in the background; simplistic traditional buildings that lined up along the river bank; they even created a few elevated viewing spots to allow the visitor to enjoy the scene in awe in addition to being able to walk right into the scene - this photo was taken from atop a high bridge that crossed this body of water.
Reflections in River Liffey at Chapelizod, Dublin, Ireland
A number of Rowing Clubs are based at this location on the River.
It was one of those days when there were fantastic reflections on the water.
On a walk around Mona Vale with a Flickr freind May 2019 Christchurch New Zealand.
Mona Vale, with its homestead formerly known as Karewa, is a public park of 4 ha in the Christchurch suburb of Fendalton. The homestead and gate house are both listed as heritage buildings with the New Zealand Historic Places Trust (NZHPT). The fernery and the rose garden, and pavilion with the setting of the park along the Avon River, add to the attractiveness of the property. It is one of the major tourist attractions of Christchurch.
The land initially belonged to the Deans brothers, whose homestead is Riccarton House in Riccarton. William Derisley Wood leased the land and built what became known as Wood's Mill. The weir in the Avon River was built in the 19th century and forms the Mona Vale mill pond, which still exists today.
Frederick Waymouth and his wife Alice purchased four acres of land and had a homestead built in 1899–1900, designed by architect Joseph Clarkson
Maddison.Waymouth, who called the homestead Karewa, was the Managing Director of Canterbury Frozen Meats. Maddison was a well-known Christchurch architect, who amongst other buildings designed the freezing works in the Christchurch suburb of Belfast. It is thought that this connection between Waymouth and Maddison led to this commission.
The Mona Vale gate house in 2007
Waymouth sold the property to Annie Quayle Townend in 1905, who renamed it to Mona Vale after her mother's house in Tasmania. She was the daughter of a wealthy Canterbury run-holder, George Moore of Glenmark Station. She was his only surviving daughter and he had bequeathed her one million pounds, apparently making her New Zealand's richest woman at the time. Townend added nine acres of land to the property and had a gate house built just off Fendalton Road. After the New Zealand International Exhibition, held in Hagley Park, finished in 1907, she purchased the exhibitions fernery including its plants and had it reassembled at Mona Vale. The present collection of ferns were supplied by Landcare Research in Lincoln, the Christchurch Botanic Gardens and the private collection of the late Arthur Ericson. Townend also added the bathhouse to the property. She died in 1914.
The property was sold in 1962 to the Church of the Latter Day Saints. When the church intended to subdivide the property and to demolish the homestead, a public outcry resulted in community fund-raising. The Christchurch City Council and the Riccarton Borough Council bought Mona Vale in June 1969 for the purpose of turning it into a public park. The purchase of Mona Vale is credited to Christchurch mayor Ron Guthrey.
Until the 2010 Canterbury earthquake, the homestead was operated as a restaurant, café and function centre, often used for weddings. The building is currently closed due to earthquake damage.
Back to the Silverburn for some more from my photowalk in August. The theme is water. Going upriver from the bridge I came across this pool-like area where the river was flowing so slowly I could see a building reflected in the surface. Its a rather large house undergoing a virtual rebuild. I think it has a rather nice outlook over the river.
Tweaked this a little in Topaz Clarity.
Melbourne, Australia
This is an area known as Docklands in Melbourne. Not sure why the cone-shaped caps on all the posts. Perhaps to keep birds from landing on them.
Turning Torso is a neo-futurist residential skyscraper in Sweden and the tallest building in Scandinavia.
Located in Malmö on the Swedish side of the Öresund strait, it was built and is owned by HSB Sweden. It is regarded as the first twisted skyscraper in the world.
The project was designed by Spanish architect, structural engineer, sculptor and painter Santiago Calatrava and officially opened on 27 August 2005. The tower reaches a height of 190 metres (623 ft) with 54 storeys and 147 apartments.
In August 2015, it was announced that the building was the winner of the 10 Year Award from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.[8] It won the 2005 Gold Emporis Skyscraper Award.
He's reflecting in his reflection... haha! I had written down some positive quotes and stuck them to this mirror a while back:)
In spite of the recent rain, there are still many beautiful leaves to be seen. The weather this morning was perfect for a quick walk around the pond at Long's Park, complete with lovely reflections...
I'm actually quite glad with
how this turned out. My first
window bokeh reflection photo
ever! :D
I think that I got the inspiration
for this photo from Kelly Marie's insanely awesome photos.
