Reflections in one of the buildings at former ammunition factory Hembrug at Zaandam, The Netherlands.
Lens: Panasonic H-HS12035 12-35mm F2.8.
Taken out in Co.Clare late last evening :) The reflection is not created by water!! :) but off the roof of the car!!
I miss all y'all in Flickrland, even though it was nice to take a break after completing my 365days project.
I decided to make December a month of reflection, and to take a reflection self-portrait every day for the month to give myself something to do before my next 365 project (2009: a purists' year in pictures)
I figured a month of reflections (as in pictures) accompanied by, well, reflections (as in thoughts) would also be a great lead-in to the new year.
So my thoughts for the day:
Today I went to the dentist for the first time in several years... I was pleasantly surprised by the dentist, who was very thorough, and very affordable. I *only* had 2 cavities and some serious plaque. I really should take better care of myself, and actually DO these things that I know I should do (like going to the dentist).
Oh, and for hnsfwm, I hope it's okay that my "windows" are the computer kind... no disrespect intended, just trying to be clever and fit it all in. :)
You know, Gaga, trust is like a mirror. You can fix it if it's broke... but you can still see the crack in that motherfucker's reflection.
Reflection of the Sé de Lisboa ... I tried to take pictures without any cars which were parked everywhere, but ended up making the best of the obstruction.... ;-)
its the last day of 2016. have you done your reflections for the year and set resolutions for the new and exciting 2017? happy new year!
The Bodleian Library, Oxford, takes the form of a quadrangle and central courtyard.
"The library currently holds over seven million volumes, which occupy 110 miles (180km) of shelving. Each year, the collection grows by more than 100,000 books and nearly 200,000 periodicals; these volumes expand the shelving requirements by about 2 miles (3.3km) annually. Much of the library’s vast storage space is in underground tunnels built in the early 1900s. A system of conveyor belts delivers volumes through the tunnels to 29 reading rooms in the various library buildings."
Last Sunday I found myself staring in a mirror.
Had been a while since I last saw my own ugly face.
Had been a while since I experienced running hot water and soap.
A zink, a toilet, soap, towels, electricity.
I was in heaven.
Even if not gone for long, things change and look different when you get back.
I was reflecting over good news and bad news.
I had been taken from the past and now dropped back in the future.
Time flies, in many ways and meanings.
This song was on "repeat" in my head on my way back home.
She actually caught the reflection, but I caught the light leaks. I can't decide whose catch was better...
Taken with Yashica Electro 35 GSN camera on a DM Paradies 100 film. Scanned with Canon CanoScan 8800F. Yashica is in an inoperable state, battery terminals are corroded, so camera works in unpowered mode, without the light meter, with fixed 1/500 shutter speed. This photo was probably taken with lens wide-open, at ƒ/1.7 - light conditions were rather poor.
(been scanning some almost-forgotten film from spring 2009...)
Reflections of the "Floating" Chinese Restaurant permanently moored in Millwall Inner Dock.
The Millwall Dock was constructed by John Aird & Co. to a design by Sir John Fowler and opened in 1868.[
The dock is L-shaped, with an 'Outer Dock' running east-west, and an 'Inner Dock' running north from the eastern end. It originally contained around 36 acres (14 hectares) of water and had a 200 acre (81 hectare) estate. The western end of the Outer Dock was originally connected to the Thames at Millwall by an 80 ft (24 m) wide channel. The spoil from the docks formed the area of wasteland known as the Mudchute. A graving dock for ship repairs was constructed at the SE corner of the Outer Dock (one of 6 originally planned), and later lengthened to 555 ft (169 m).
With reorganisation by the Port of London Authority in the 1920s, the northern end of the Inner Dock was connected to the West India Docks by the Millwall Passage, and the direct connection to the Thames was filled.
The dock was used mainly for timber and grain, a trade which eventually moved down river to the Port of Tilbury with the construction of a major grain terminal in the 1960s. A McDougall's flour mill on the south side of the Outer Dock was demolished in about 1980.
Another shot from Lady Vervaine's series of bus window reflections. (You may have to adjust your monitor to see it clearly, depending on your brightness settings, etc...) This image brought to mind a powerful & disturbing piece of writing I came across recently:
"The techological web we inhabit endeavours with every new development to isolate us further from each other (iPods, cell-phone movies, Gameboys, email) and from the larger social whorl (HD TVs, hundreds of 24/7 cable stations, video home delivery, minivan DVD players, the internet).
Entertainment technology in previous decades was a minor ingredient in the texture of our lives; when not watching or listening to our limited broadcast or theatrical options, we were taking part in the flow of humanity. Social intercourse defined us and our responsibilities to the world.
Today, we are consumers first, citizens second, and the castle of distraction we've built around ourselves is itself little more than a series of revenue streams devised to exploit us. We face it alone every day, slowly ceding to it control over our priorities and viewpoints."
