When you are bound for so long you forget that there is any other option than to submit to the darkness created by others.
Rising like a prism in the heart of the nation’s capital, the Conrad Hotel in Washington, D.C. is a sleek testament to contemporary luxury and thoughtful design. Captured here on a crisp winter day, the glass façade reflects its surroundings—and itself—with hypnotic symmetry. Located on New York Avenue NW near CityCenterDC, this modernist masterpiece by Herzog & de Meuron brings a European architectural sensibility to the American skyline. The mirror-like surfaces blur the lines between structure and sky, creating a visual paradox that draws the eye and rewards it with layers of abstraction. In the foreground, a Capital Bikeshare station anchors the scene in everyday D.C. life, while the juxtaposition of old and new buildings tells a story of a city forever evolving. Whether admired for its engineering, aesthetics, or as a sanctuary for travelers, the Conrad is more than a hotel—it’s a reflective experience, both literally and metaphorically.
As former president Teddy Roosevelt puts it...behold it is the "Eighth Wonder of the World." The water originates from underground springs above and at the falls. Even during the dry summer months and at 129 feet in height, the water provides an almost constant flow rate of 100 million U.S. gallons / day. Photo of Burney Falls captured from McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park in Shasta County. Northern California. Late March 2013.
Photo captured at a cattle ranch alongside Old Samoa Road. City of Arcata. Humboldt County. Late August 2013.
This is yours truly reflected in the sculpture "Cloud Gate" in Chicago's Millenium Park.
Behind me are are the buildings that line Michigan Avenue. If you look at the large view, you can see better how the mirrored surface of the sculpture subtly distorts everything as well as how streaks of dried rain line the reflective surface. ("Subtly distorted" might actually be a good byline for me, now that I think of it.)
As usual, I don't like having my picture taken, but "The Bean" (as Cloud Gate is popularly known) is one of my favorite places.
(Thought this might be a good way to say thanks to everyone out there in Flickr-land for your support, feedback, and kind words about my photos: my photostream just passed 100,000 total views today. Thanks again, everyone! Ain't Flickr grand?)

Selfreflection in Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
This month I am celebrating my 7th Flickr Birthday...I would have never thought that this thing would be so much fun and have such an influence on my life when I opened my account in 2006. I want to thank all of you lovely people for making it such a great experience, and of course also a big thank you to the Interwebs for offering such interesting ways to share part of our lives with the rest of the world...on to the next 7 years :)

The title says it all...plus there are 4-6 actual reflections in the water droplets. Taken in my yard while trying to familiarize myself with my new camera a Canon 50D. After 3 1/2 years of hard use my 20D had its first serious problem a shutter issue and is being repaired the problem is....i am leaving on a trip next week and had to have something to take. I had hoped to hold out until i could afford a 5D mk II.....but the 50D is a nice camera and hopefully my 20D will be able to be used as a secondary camera.
Every human experience is unique. We all have trials and tribulations, hopes and dreams. What's interesting about this fact is that it puts into perspective how everyone is just like us in the sense that we all undergo a complexity of emotions and experiences. Reflect on that today and let's be compassionate to our fellow human BEings. #InspireDaily - bit.ly/InspireWithWords

Almost weekend!
A true Sacramento Valley sunset as seen from the very Jewels of Northern California. Demanding reds simply provide a crush to ignite quite the lasting impression to allow one to effortlessly take it all in and reflect upon the [wonderful] day constructed by you. Photo of the sunset captured over the Sacramento River and from the Sundial Bridge at Turtle Bay Exploration Park in Redding. Shasta County. Early August 2013.
Sasha is a native Russian speaker, and was more comfortable writing out her personal statement in that language. This is the translation:Two weeks ago I turned 30. When I look back on these 30 years, I understand that my life, full of moving to places and traveling - from the South of Kazakhstan to Switzerland through Siberia and the Gulf of Finland to Saint Petersburg - tells a lot about myself: observer by nature, I love to contemplate and experience the richness of this world in its entire contradictory nature. These lines are written at the ocean, in Florida, and I look, with joy and gratitude, forward into the future.

I have so many great shots from this location.... This is one of my favorite places. I go here often in the early morning and sit in the fog enjoying the view in silent contemplation.
