I took this image on a trip into inland New South Wales, near to Byron Bay, the lake was in a national park that I walked through. There wasn't much there to take images of but fortunately the weather was extremely nice ans created these perfection reflections on the lake which made for quite a nice shot.
Taken on a Canon 1D mark II with 24mm prime lens.

Artist Statement:
This series of images explores the identity of the two women it features. The images are intended to challenge the viewers’ perception of the women by portraying them in an obscure, indirect manner. Although it is deliberately made obvious that both figures are women, their features are not distinct, adding to the mystery of them both and increasing the uncertainty of the viewer.
In each of the images the figures are not photographed directly, but as reflections on distressed surfaces, distorting their images and signifying how the way in which other people perceive these women is so different from their true identity. The constant presence of the red veil is a symbol of their strength and authority.
The decision to take the photographs in this specific location was made after discussion with the two women, who identified this as a place with which they have a considerable history, a place of calm and peace, surrounded by nature and where they feel they can expose their true selves.
In one of the images the photographer can be viewed, concealed between the women and the trees. She is barely noticeable when first viewed, yet is uncovered when the image is explored in greater depth. She seems to be behind the ever-present red veil, as if it is a protective barrier, reflecting the relationship between the two women and myself, the photographer.
Through this series of work I have been able to explore my relationship to these women visually in a way, which I have never been able to articulate through words. I have been able to explain to myself and demonstrate to them the respect that I hold for them and to show how I value their strength and dignity.
“If I speak of myself in different ways, that is because I look at myself in different ways.” ― Michel de Montaigne
Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not,
though he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from
daily life that one exists for other people.

Bedroom Reflections.
(Linoleum Cut).
Awakening the next morning,
now all alone,
where did,
when did,
the nights previous lover go?
Catching a quick glimpse into the mirror,
seeing all,
both all around,
as well as inside,
questions to ponder,
the rest of the day,
perhaps even the rest of the life,
too many questions,
to try and answer now,
time to get dressed,
head out to the vast world,
perhaps a bagel,
washed down with juice,
time never stops,
as the mind continues to Roar!

During the summer months Mt. Hood, Oregon's tallest mountain, a dormant volcano, loses most of her snow cap exposing the rocky surface to the sunlight. Deep in the Mt. Hood national forest Trillium lake catches an almost perfect reflection of Mt. Hood in it's still waters with the peak of the mountain flanked by the shoreline rocks.

After trawling round croydon for about an hour in the wind and freezing cold, I finally found this lovely modern building (Bernard Weatherall Building) right next to this beautiful clock tower at the Croydon Town Hall.
The venue contains the Museum of Croydon, the David Lean Cinema, which offers a regular programme of art house and independent films, a Youth Ambassadors group, aimed at bringing more young people to the Clocktower, and a café and bar. The venue also contains the Braithwaite Hall, which was used for concerts, theatre and children's shows, until 2011 when its funding was cut by the Council, and it lost its Arts Council RFO status.
The centre is owned and run by Croydon Council, and also houses Croydon's Central Library. The building links into the Town Hall and some areas of the building, most notably the Braithwaite Hall, are part of the original town hall and library complex, built in 1892–1896 to a design by Charles Henman Jun.
The Clocktower is the tower of the Town Hall. New buildings were built alongside the Town Hall and were opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1994. A notable early success was the Picasso exhibition in March to May 1995 named Picasso's Croydon Period.
There is no end to these reflections,
To their measured music with its dying fall
Wherein the heart and what it seeks are reconciled.

Back to the place that still feels like home to me, Forres in Morayshire in Northern Scotland. For some reflections on Spring and daffodils and light... as here in NZ we enter grey wet Winter and my ability to capture any sunsets becomes few and far between.

Burj Al Arab (Arabic: برج العرب,Tower of the Arabs) is a 5-star (often misleadingly referred to as 7-star) luxury hotel located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. At 321 m (1,053 ft), it is the fourth tallest hotel in the world. Burj Al Arab stands on an artificial island 280 m (920 ft) out from Jumeirah beach, and is connected to the mainland by a private curving bridge. The shape of the structure is designed to mimic the sail of a ship.
