High Crag and High Stile bathed in the early morning sun creeping through the clouds and reflecting in Buttermere
For the Ambassador Challenge, Reflections & Motion
I would have liked just a little more motion in the pond (puddle), or maybe for the ripples to extend a little farther into Roger's reflection. Oh, and I would have liked an assistant, too...someone to throw the acorns, rocks, sticks into the water at just the right time and at just the right spot. Its a good thing sticks are on Roger's "take it or leave it" list, because they seemed to make the best ripples.
This is the marina on Clover Island in Kennewick. It was a pretty calm night which made for a perfect reflection in the water.
I'm reaching back to a Tokyo image I took in April. This was one of my last night in Tokyo and I didn't have my tripod. The weather forecast was for rain most of the day and evening, so I decided I wouldn't haul my tripod around with me all day. Of course, by late afternoon the rain had stopped, and it wasn't worth the time to travel back to my hotel to grab my tripod. For the early part of the evening I had to improvise with my coat and camera bag. It worked out pretty well.
This was taken in a few blocks away from the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Japan. I thought the refelctions looked interesting. The slight breeze caused the water to move slightly, to cause the blur. I thought iflipping the image upside down gave this a more interesting feel

Another part of an old house in Biala Rawska, this window. Rusty and crusty and the paint is peeling off. Love these old buildings.
This is a wonderful illustration of the historic/traditional Chinese garden architecture and how well environmental elements of nature are used and integrated into the setting to create sense of harmony and impressive visual appeal.
The location is in the Qing Dynasty's Summer Palace in the north west outskirt of Beijing, China. It was intended to create a scene inspired by the waterways that crisscrossed dwellings, markets, and gardens of a southern China city Suzhou.
Here the key elements are, water and reflections in the foreground; hill with dense trees and srubbs in the background; simplistic traditional buildings that lined up along the river bank; they even created a few elevated viewing spots to allow the visitor to enjoy the scene in awe in addition to being able to walk right into the scene - this photo was taken from atop a high bridge that crossed this body of water.
This is the first time in years that I have visited Mt. Ranier and managed to catch a shot of Mt. Ranier reflected in Reflection Lakes. Usually, the mountain is smothered in clouds or the wind erases reflections. While it was windy, there were a few protected spots where Mt. Ranier succeeded in being reflected.
Somesville Maine USA Mount Desert Island area.
Rain held off for this shot. Some may not like the flower on the left side, I left it in.
Reflections, whether they are perfect or distorted, are a great source of joy. This picture is close to my heart. Whenever I feel disturbed I look at this picture to get immense inner peace. I will keep this large on black preferably, switch off all the room lights and view this from a distance (not close to the monitor). In fact before saving all my images I used to view them like this. I feel that distance makes a lot of difference to our perception.
This was shot in Vishakapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India.
View large to have maximum peace.

A reflection in the tail light of a car—Raleigh, North Carolina. Aside from enhancing the colors and darkening some, this is pretty much how the photo came out.

He's reflecting in his reflection... haha! I had written down some positive quotes and stuck them to this mirror a while back:)
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...
We're Here! on Thankful Thursday.
Thursdays is when we usually keep one or more of our grandchildren. Today we have three coming and going.
And I have felt
A presence that disturbes me with the joy
Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime
Of something far more deeply interfused,
Whose dwelling is is the light of setting suns,
And the round ocean and the living air,
And the blue sky, and in the mind of man;
A motion and a spirit, that impels
All thinking things, all objects of all thought,
And rolls through all things. Therefore am I still
A lover of the meadows and the woods,
And mountains; and of all that we behold
From this green earth; of all the mighty world
Of eye, and ear, -both what they half create,
And what perceive; well pleased to recognise
In nature and the language of the sense,
The anchor of my purest thoughts, the nurse,
The guide, the guardian of my heart, and soul
Of all my moral being.
