“The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.”
~ Thomas Merton
You can't have a light without a dark to stick it in.
~Arlo Guthrie
The Haas Haus in Vienna always offers a different view—sometimes even of the past.
In its mirror façade: layers of history, fragments of architecture, and a portrait half revealed.
It’s like the city is watching itself.

Modernity doesn’t replace history—it reflects it.
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 :)

Lotus Reflection in water, this particular Lotus blooms every 2nd year, was lucky enough to capture it.
This week's challenge was reflection and I was inspired by another photo I saw online and decided to interpret it with my own background. Have a great week!
On one hand I'm carrying maple covered cashews yummmm

Some advice on how I should crop this??
This long-legged, S-necked white bird is found throughout the Americas and around much of the world. It is typically the largest white egret occurring anywhere in its range (only the white-colored form of the great blue heron is larger).
Great egrets are found near water, salt or fresh, and feed in wetlands, streams, ponds, tidal flats, and other areas. They snare prey by walking slowly or standing still for long periods, waiting for an animal to come within range of their long necks and blade-like bills. The deathblow is delivered with a quick thrust of the sharp bill, and the prey is swallowed whole. Fish are a dietary staple, but great egrets use similar techniques to eat amphibians, reptiles, mice, and other small animals.
The reflections between the parallel pieces of marble make some of the background look transparent.

When I look at this I think of the many photo "sessions" and dozens of photos before I finally got the shot I wanted
Reflections of Upper West Side buildings in central park reservoir. Low angle version of a similar photograph I posted earlier.
This shot was hard with the camera almost touching the water with no idea what I am shooting at. I need a swiveling screen now. Please, Canon...
A great fire reflection during the 8 times a year Waterfire celebrations in downtown Providence, Rhode Island. When the sun goes down the people come out to walk a mile long stretch of river filled with giant cemet vases piles high with wood.
PS: Tell Spotify, Alex and Siri to play music by JOHN WILLIAM HAMMOND (use all three names) You will love it!
Another part of an old house in Biala Rawska, this window. Rusty and crusty and the paint is peeling off. Love these old buildings.
A reflection of two expats taking a photo by their mobile for a buildings in the center of Manama the capital of kingdom of bahrain. And I used the symmetry composition rule using a shop glas to reflect my scene .. in post processing I used black and white.
A bit of an experiment this morning (can't believe how much the weather changed shortly after this photo was taken) - My first dabble into HDR and I am happy with the results. Taken on my 10 - 22mm Canon and 30D around 7.30 this morning, i just think the shot captures the lake and surrounding hills. Wasn;t half cold though!
Reflections of the trees in the water at the weir on the Water of Leith,Edinburgh

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.
