Reflections in River Liffey at Chapelizod, Dublin, Ireland
A number of Rowing Clubs are based at this location on the River.
It was one of those days when there were fantastic reflections on the water.
Turning Torso is a neo-futurist residential skyscraper in Sweden and the tallest building in Scandinavia.
Located in Malmö on the Swedish side of the Öresund strait, it was built and is owned by HSB Sweden. It is regarded as the first twisted skyscraper in the world.
The project was designed by Spanish architect, structural engineer, sculptor and painter Santiago Calatrava and officially opened on 27 August 2005. The tower reaches a height of 190 metres (623 ft) with 54 storeys and 147 apartments.
In August 2015, it was announced that the building was the winner of the 10 Year Award from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.[8] It won the 2005 Gold Emporis Skyscraper Award.
Reflection Canyon is a side canyon of Glen Canyon, now the controversial reservior Lake Powell, and its name can be seen on the USGS 7.5' topo map. Its beautiful curves and contrast between water and sandstone walls were first captured by National Geographic photographer Michael Melford in spring 2005, when the water level of Lake Powell hit its lowest since it had been filled in 1970s. It squeezed my curiosity again last October, when Melford's photo featured in the Retina display of Apple's newest generation of 13" Macbook Pro. I first thought this secret location can be only reached by boat -- there was a boat passing through the canyon in Melford's original work. Surprisingly, after simply googled the name, I read a (not-so-successful) trip report of hiking to the exact spot by German photographer/hiker Rainer Grosskopf. He was able to got there after negotiated a strenuous 8-mile (then doubled to make roundtrip) hike on rough terrain without any trail or mark, but the water level was significantly higher than that of 2005, making it more like a large pond instead of curving waterway. The water level is much lower now, but it is still 50' higher than Melford's luck, making me not couragous enough to take the risk with my limited travel opportunity, so the plan was put aside indefinitely until a couple of weeks ago, when I saw Chen Su from Kansas, posted a photo of Reflection Canyon with decent water level, on the social network website Renren. He followed the GPS waypoints shared by Grosskopf and told me it was indeed a tough adventure. Although I was pretty confident in finding route and hiking long distance in the southwest desert environment, still I thought going alone would be too risky. I grabbed Kai Song (Bro Bing) as the partner, together with two of his friends we formed a group of four and tackled the route on a sunny spring day. We were definitely stunned when we overcame the last obstacle and the surreal view filled our eyes. The resulting snapshot was not as perfect as Melford's -- the water level was still about 40' higher than the lowest thus the rock fins connecting the walls and buttes were still under water -- I still feel content and proud for seeing it with my own eyes after such an unforgettable adventure.
Reflections in a wall of the Sponsor Village in Torino in the period of the XX Olympic Winter Games - Torino2006
September has brought down the heat of the summer considerably. We get rain and showers in the evenings, blessings from above....:-)
It was late in the evening, I decided to go for a walk, of course with my camera. All the birds had settled down in the trees, butterflies, squirrels, monkeys and deers had also left for the day. As I was returning with disappointment, I spot this magic place where the reflections could be seen in the water. Tamarind tree leaves & blue sky are in the fore front reflections.
To get the real essence of the picture, I didn't use flash.
The last of my Vienna shots for now. This one was a quick snap of the reflections against one of the more modern office buildings. Got a bit lazy with the f-stop here, should have been at least f8 really.

For the topic you should take a photo of a reflection of what you want.

Have some fun.

Limbs rising out of the lake and their reflections
So, I thought of taking this car for a spin, but decided against it. Perhaps it was the pit bull that stood on the other end. ;) (And no, you cannot find me in the reflection... what fun would that be?) :o
Haven't posted one of these for a while..
Another enjoyable lunch by the harbour, under a warm winter sun.
And the water was just right for reflection pics.
So ...

The Cascade Lakes are a collection of 12 lakes and two reservoirs the Cascade Range in central Oregon. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade_Lakes Davis Lake is at the south end. I once took the sail canoe here and sailed a full circle round the shore and never had to tack upwind. The wind just shifted a lot to allow that. This day there was no wind so I just enjoyed reflections and the birds.
Its not about what is on the outside it is about who your character is and what your heart is like on the inside.

Reflecting back on 2020, it had been a tough year. Travel had been restricted and not great in sense of capturing moments. One good thing with the lockdown – mother nature seem to be healing. We now hear more of birds chirping even in the middle of Marathalli, Bangalore :) For the many lucky folks who are not stranded away from home – the lockdown had brought in a much needed break to reflect and introspect. For me it had been a great year professionally with more reading, new challenges and associated experiences. The ups & downs were like never before but the lessons learned were inevitable.
Let us drop the prejudice of 2020. Focus, enjoy and equip for the journey forward. Here is to 2021 – to more learning, more travel, more connections & enriched experiences :)
This week shot is from Badami (from a pre covid trip). Badami Shivalaya was the regal capital of the Badami Chalukyas from 540 to 757 AD. Most of the visitors miss this as the focus is always on the Badami caves. The fort is quite opposite to the caves on the other side of the lake. Also one needs to trek to the top . The path is quiet defined with steps but is a bit strenuous, especially in hot weather. The massive hillock hosts couple of different levels with – the pillared structures, the lower Shivalayas and the upper Shivalayas. One is treated with Chalukya architecture and the views are directly propositional to the effort one puts in to climb up :)
