The Autumn colors are sleeping! Reflection is the change in direction of a wave front at an interface between two dissimilar media so that the wave front returns into the medium from which it originated. Common examples include the reflection of light, sound and water waves.Reflection of light may be specular (that is, mirror-like) or diffuse (that is, not retaining the image, only the energy) depending on the nature of the interface. Furthermore, if the interface is between dielectric-conductor or dielectric-dielectric media, the phase of the reflected wave may or may not be inverted, respectively.

This was taken in Temagami ON. In this area, the biomass at the bottom of the pond makes the water look black and it provides nice reflections as a result. Temagami is a region in Northern Ontario, about five to six hours north of Toronto, well north of North Bay.
I took the famous Norway in a Nutshell tour, where it rained almost continually, making it hard to take good photos. But I got lucky here as we entered a fjord and came across this small village right on the water. Given the weather and the isolation, I wouldn't want to live here, but it's still pretty and charming.
The Interstate heritage unit of Norfolk Southern casts a reflection in the water of the Attica Upground reservoir at Carolina, Ohio, as it passes on the Sandusky District. Leading the train is the Interstate heritage locomotive. The third unit is a North Carolina Department of Transportation cab control unit that is being ferried to the Tar Heel state.
this is from my energy saving shoot yesterday. I couldn't decide between this one and the one that i uploaded yesterday. I thought i let you guys decide. :)
This is dedicated to those who live their lives without reflection, that perhaps they see the need to think, see, explore...
It is a sad day...
Sometimes, when one person is missing, the whole world seems depopulated.

Reflections: Some time ago I posted a BW version of this photo, I found the original and I just want to share it.
The State of Kuwait (i/kuːˈweɪt/; Arabic: دولة الكويت, Dawlat al-Kuwayt) is a sovereign Arab nation situated in the north-east of the Arabian Peninsula in Western Asia. It is bordered by Saudi Arabia to the south at Khafji, and Iraq to the north at Basra. It lies on the north-western shore of the Persian Gulf. The name Kuwait is derived from the Arabic "akwat", the plural of "kout", meaning fortress built near water.[5] The Emirate covers an area of 17,820 square kilometers (6,880 sq mi) and has a population of about 3.6 million.[2]
Historically, the region was the site of Characene, a major Parthian port for trade between India and Mesopotamia. The Bani Utbah Tribe were the first permanent Arab settlers in the region and laid the foundation of the modern emirate. By the 19th century, Kuwait came under the influence of the Ottoman Empire, and after World War I, it emerged as an independent sheikhdom under the protection of the British Empire. Kuwait's large oil fields were discovered in the late 1930s.
After Kuwait gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1961, the nation's oil industry saw unprecedented economic growth. In 1990, Kuwait was invaded and annexed by neighboring Iraq. The seven month-long Iraqi occupation came to an end after a direct military intervention by United States-led forces. Around 773 Kuwaiti oil wells were set ablaze by the retreating Iraqi army resulting in a major environmental and economic catastrophe.[6] Kuwait's infrastructure was badly damaged during the war and had to be rebuilt.[7]

Pointing north across Grote Street, I found this reflection directly opposite the Adelaide Central Market. I had to climb some stairs to get to the right height, even with the zoom.
I'm appologizing again for the Koi title. However, this shot rolls over to other critters who've established their base at the Bionic Gardens... and just when I thought I managed a smooth reflection shot of the blank overcast and skyline beyond! Boy, this female mallard has a good kick and is lucky not to be a goose. Denver just concluded the cleanup of over a thousand park geese to feed the poor at only a hundred grand. I'm selling my Thanksgiving meal ticket for cash outside the stadium.
I bet the duck is searching its geeklings but we already sent them to DC. Did she look over behind the reeds? No wonder, looking at this pool, they charge an entry fee for everyone, even Denverites.
I wonder if they have have to feed the water fowl? I don't see any standing corn fields anong the high rise housing. but maybe they feed mostly on visitors' Cheetos? The duck gets better feed than the American poor. After following some of the paths that are scattered about the Denver Botanic Gardens, I found a cool spot with a load of water, a good thing on the Colorado plains. It's clear that the pool furnish a good good for water gardens. They especially like water plantings at the Denver Botanical Gardens. It looks like I am getting closer to botanical, and fish, shots like this. Egad, I have a real load of garden shots to edit with over 200 snaps in the directory, let alone for everything else in my massive stash.
So I followed the original path and in my wanderings, I mostly found loads of prople. This shows a change up from earlier snaps. Always the question is whether this is simply art or is the trickling water making visitors head for the John? Well, at least this is green and I snapped away. Next?
This snap is yet another from a recent eDDie trek, this time down to the Denver Botanic Gardens. I have passed untold times but never invested my time or ponied up the entrance fee. This path shouts that upkeep here is far from free, but eDDie bought a season pass so I did another round of sponge bobbing at the right price. Boy, this place is loaded with distractions that were made for me! ...and, did I get distracted. Art in the park indeed.
Since the Denver Botonic Gardens trek, I have made more treks and another with eDDie to the Rockies. At least I was able to snag a load of shots on that mellow day. I filled my film card for the first time ever. OK, I was tapped by the time it was filled anyway.

Canon 5D Mark II + Canon EF 24mm L f/1.4 II @f/1.4 / ISO 800 / 1.6sec.
Shot oct.25th in Laksvatnbukt / Balsfjord.
Supposed to be a really high activity, but it did not show. We also had cloudy weather the whole night, about to give up then about 1am the sky cleared up and we got a small show. Very very clear water and absolutely no winds giving a really crisp clear mirror-like reflection here by using a short exposure time.
