Last October we hiked back into the Rock River Falls in the Hiawatha National Forest in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The maples were dropping their yellow, orange, and red leaves! There were reflecting pools all along the trail!

This is a popular photo spot for couples being married here. However, most photos from here look much different. My processing was for perspective control (in spite of other distortion problems introduced) and texture of the stone in the temple. View large for best detail.

Another shot of the sunrise over Angkor Wat I saw a little later into it. Took this at a 4 minute exposure with an ND filter to get those wispy clouds and glass like smoothness to the reflecting pool.

The monumental Hazrati Imam Complex in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, is beautifully reflected in one of the large pools surrounding the complex. Its turquoise domes and slender minarets rise above the gardens, while their reflections seem to continue deep into the water. Although Hazrati Imam has its origins centuries ago, the imposing Hazrati Imam Mosque seen here is a much more recent addition. It was completed in 2007, following traditional Uzbek and Central Asian architectural styles. Its two slender minarets rise 53 metres above the complex, while two large blue domes and a terrace supported by twenty carved wooden columns complete the mosque's distinctive appearance. Specially designed window openings allow sunlight to enter the mosque throughout the day. The reflecting pools are not only an attractive architectural feature. During Tashkent's hot summer months, the large surfaces of water also help to bring a sense of coolness to the open square. The few people walking along the edge give an idea of the impressive scale of the complex. What attracted me most here was the combination of architecture, symmetry and reflection. The almost perfectly still water created a second version of Hazrati Imam beneath the skyline.
Between sky and water, the minarets of Hazrati Imam seem to rise twice above Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
Het monumentale Hazrati Imam-complex in Tasjkent, Oezbekistan, wordt prachtig weerspiegeld in één van de grote waterbassins rond het complex. De turquoise koepels en slanke minaretten steken boven de tuinen uit, terwijl hun spiegelbeeld diep in het water lijkt door te lopen. Hoewel Hazrati Imam een eeuwenoude geschiedenis heeft, is de imposante Hazrati Imam-moskee op deze foto een veel recentere toevoeging. De moskee werd voltooid in 2007 en is gebouwd in de traditionele Oezbeekse en Centraal-Aziatische bouwstijl. De twee slanke minaretten zijn maar liefst 53 meter hoog. De moskee heeft daarnaast twee grote blauwe koepels en een terras dat wordt gedragen door twintig fraai bewerkte houten zuilen. De vensteropeningen zijn zo ontworpen dat gedurende de hele dag zonlicht naar binnen kan vallen. De grote waterpartijen zijn niet alleen een fraai onderdeel van de aanleg. Tijdens de hete zomermaanden in Tasjkent zorgen ze ook voor verkoeling rond het uitgestrekte plein. De enkele mensen langs de rand laten tegelijkertijd goed zien hoe groot het complex eigenlijk is. Wat mij hier vooral aantrok, was de combinatie van architectuur, symmetrie en spiegeling. Het vrijwel stille water creëerde als het ware een tweede Hazrati Imam onder de skyline.
This is the blue hour version of a photo I posted about 3 weeks ago. This amazing water mirror or reflecting pool is located in Bordeaux France between the Garonne River and the Place de la Bourse. It is probably one of the most photographed sites in Bordeaux.

It was hot, about 35°C and there was absolut no wind, so I was lucky to get this nice reflection on my picture.
The Colonnade Building is one of a trio of Brutalist buildings (along with the Administration Building and Reflection Hall, 1971-1973) ringing the old Mother Church and reflecting pool in the Christian Science Center. The three buildings and reflecting pool were designed by Araldo Cossutta of I. M. Pei & Associates.

The Pulgas Water Temple, designed by architect William G. Merchant, was erected by the San Francisco Water Department to commemorate the 1934 completion of the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct. .The aqueduct brings water 160 miles from Hetch Hetchy Reservoir in Yosemite National Park to the Upper Crystal Springs Reservoir near Redwood City; the water temple is located at the aqueduct's terminus.
It’s a small Greco-Roman style temple and long reflecting pool set at the edge of the reservoir waters and open space preserve. The temple is inscribed with the words "I give waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people" (Isaiah 43:20).
"Pulgas" is the Spanish word for "fleas", which were encountered by early Spanish explorers of the area. The name comes from the former Rancho de las Pulgas, an early Spanish land grant.
Hope you have a great weekend ahead! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your visits, comments, awards and faves - I appreciate them all.

Portmeirion is a village on the Dwyryd estuary in Gwynedd, North Wales. It was constructed between 1925 and 1975 by the architect Sir Clough Williams-Ellis. Although Portmeirion has featured in several films and documentaries, it is most widely known as "The Village" in the cult 1967 television series "The Prisoner". This photo is a panorama of the reflecting pool at the center of the village.
