This is the marina on Clover Island in Kennewick. It was a pretty calm night which made for a perfect reflection in the water.
Another part of an old house in Biala Rawska, this window. Rusty and crusty and the paint is peeling off. Love these old buildings.
"Reflection"
Look at me
You may think you see
Who I really am
But you'll never know me
Every day
It's as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
I am now
In a world where I
Have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection
Someone I don't know?
Must I pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
There's a heart that must be
Free to fly
That burns with a need to know
The reason why
Why must we all conceal
What we think, how we feel?
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide?
I won't pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside? "

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.
Reflections, whether they are perfect or distorted, are a great source of joy. This picture is close to my heart. Whenever I feel disturbed I look at this picture to get immense inner peace. I will keep this large on black preferably, switch off all the room lights and view this from a distance (not close to the monitor). In fact before saving all my images I used to view them like this. I feel that distance makes a lot of difference to our perception.
This was shot in Vishakapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India.
View large to have maximum peace.
Night Heron, Reflection. Sacramento Valley, California. January 8, 2016. © Copyright 2016 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.

I have mentioned before that I came late to an interest in photographing birds — it only began a few years ago when I took a serendipitous trip to a California Central Valley refuge where I saw huge numbers of birds. Despite being a virtually life-long Californian living within a short drive of such areas, I barely knew they existed. (I had one prior hint on a drive to the Pacific Northwest some years ago, when I passed through the upper Sacramento Valley on a late-November evening and say many birds in the sky.)
That all changed during recent years. At first I "discovered" geese and egrets, the latter which I had seen before and occasionally photographed in the San Francisco Bay Area. Then I caught on to some of the other birds out in the Central Valley — ibises, cranes, herons, white pelicans. But the night herons continued to be a bit of a mystery, and frankly they still remain so to an extent. They are found at the location where I most often photograph, but typically off at some distance. That distance, along with their habit of roosting in thick grasses and plants, makes them hard to see and photograph. On this visit to a different location up in the Sacramento Valley I found a huge group of them in brush just across a canal, and I was able to photograph them from a closer distance, including this one that was atypically out of the brush and standing on a log.

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...
This is the first time in years that I have visited Mt. Ranier and managed to catch a shot of Mt. Ranier reflected in Reflection Lakes. Usually, the mountain is smothered in clouds or the wind erases reflections. While it was windy, there were a few protected spots where Mt. Ranier succeeded in being reflected.
Wonderful reflections as I stood in the sea looking back at the cliffs of Sandymouth Bay near Bude in Cornwall. Blue skies and big fluffy ones!
Looking good for Christmas Day.
Thanks for looking.
Framed with his reflection, caught in the ritual of scrolling—a quiet choreography of habit and isolation. The bench, the glass, the angles—they all hold him, even as he drifts elsewhere.
A small pond on the side of Airport Road with a great reflection, shot on the way up to Georgian Bay.
And I have felt
A presence that disturbes me with the joy
Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime
Of something far more deeply interfused,
Whose dwelling is is the light of setting suns,
And the round ocean and the living air,
And the blue sky, and in the mind of man;
A motion and a spirit, that impels
All thinking things, all objects of all thought,
And rolls through all things. Therefore am I still
A lover of the meadows and the woods,
And mountains; and of all that we behold
From this green earth; of all the mighty world
Of eye, and ear, -both what they half create,
And what perceive; well pleased to recognise
In nature and the language of the sense,
The anchor of my purest thoughts, the nurse,
The guide, the guardian of my heart, and soul
Of all my moral being.

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.
