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...
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.

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.
Another rotated shot of reflections in the moat at Ightham Mote. Reflections were amazing in the late afternoon. Sooc.
Compositionally Challenged Week 22 is Reflections. Earlier this week, I had plans to visit a nearby pond to snap a landscape reflection, but the week is almost over. While brushing my teeth this morning, I wondered, What to do? Then I looked down and saw a reflection. Why not?
This is the 2nd image in the series.

Artist Statement:
This series of images explores the identity of the two women it features. The images are intended to challenge the viewers’ perception of the women by portraying them in an obscure, indirect manner. Although it is deliberately made obvious that both figures are women, their features are not distinct, adding to the mystery of them both and increasing the uncertainty of the viewer.
In each of the images the figures are not photographed directly, but as reflections on distressed surfaces, distorting their images and signifying how the way in which other people perceive these women is so different from their true identity. The constant presence of the red veil is a symbol of their strength and authority.
The decision to take the photographs in this specific location was made after discussion with the two women, who identified this as a place with which they have a considerable history, a place of calm and peace, surrounded by nature and where they feel they can expose their true selves.
In one of the images the photographer can be viewed, concealed between the women and the trees. She is barely noticeable when first viewed, yet is uncovered when the image is explored in greater depth. She seems to be behind the ever-present red veil, as if it is a protective barrier, reflecting the relationship between the two women and myself, the photographer.
Through this series of work I have been able to explore my relationship to these women visually in a way, which I have never been able to articulate through words. I have been able to explain to myself and demonstrate to them the respect that I hold for them and to show how I value their strength and dignity.
Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not,
though he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from
daily life that one exists for other people.
~Albert Einstein
Buildings in Atlanta reflecting each other. Different angles and window tints impart different colors to the reflections.

What a coincidence; just over a week ago I was photographing the 70013 of half a century ago at the Great Central Railway and here is the 21st century locomotive bearing the same number, heading the 6Z68 Killoch to Cottam Freightliner Heavyhaul loaded coal, which took the Settle and Carlisle route.

During the summer months Mt. Hood, Oregon's tallest mountain, a dormant volcano, loses most of her snow cap exposing the rocky surface to the sunlight. Deep in the Mt. Hood national forest Trillium lake catches an almost perfect reflection of Mt. Hood in it's still waters with the peak of the mountain flanked by the shoreline rocks.
There is no end to these reflections,
To their measured music with its dying fall
Wherein the heart and what it seeks are reconciled.
From North Point North by John Koethe (1945-)
Back to the place that still feels like home to me, Forres in Morayshire in Northern Scotland. For some reflections on Spring and daffodils and light... as here in NZ we enter grey wet Winter and my ability to capture any sunsets becomes few and far between.
