A lovely autumn day last Sunday and a trip to Cenarth Falls. here were some lovely reflections on the River Teify below the falls. Tried a few low shutter speed shots of the falls
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.

In de Design Vlaanderen Galerie wordt de tentoonstelling "Reflections" herhaald die tijdens de vorige Milan Design Week in de Triënnale voor de eerste maal werd gepresenteerd. De tentoonstelling was een eerbetoon aan de Belgische ingenieurs Emile Foucault en Emile Gobbe die in 1903 het eerste mechanische systeem voor de productie van glas ontwikkelden, nl. het verticaal trekken van vlakglas. Dit zorgde wereldwijd voor een totale ommekeer in de glasnijverheid en het opende de weg naar de industriële productie van glas na de 1ste Wereldoorlog. Dat België aan de wieg ligt van de industrialisatie van vlakglas en er in België nog verschillende bedrijven zijn die samen met vele ontwerpers spiegels op de markt brengen was de aanleiding voor Reflections.
Maak kennis met niet enkel spiegels van Belgische designers maar ook andere voorwerpen met een spiegelend oppervlak, waarin het licht reflecteert en spiegelbeelden ontstaan. Eén voor één vormen ze hoogtepunten van design. Ontdek primeurs maar evengoed klassiekers van de hand van boeiende ontwerpers en bedrijven.
De ontwerpers: Leo Aerts (Alinea), Marina Bautier, Michaël Bihain, Susanna Campogrande & Lise Casalegno Marro (Allerretour), Xavier De Clippeleir, Alex De Witte, Simon Desmet & Timothy Macken (MaDe), Nathalie Dewez, Jean-François d’Or (Loudordesign studio), Luc Druez (LcD Textile Edition), Nedda El-Asmar & Erik Indekeu, Marie Gobert, Linde Hermans (Rode schoentjes), Bieke & Patrick Hoet, David Huycke, Bart Lens, Xavier Lust, Stefan Schöning, Diane Steverlynck, Ben Storms, Mathias Van De Walle (MVDW Workshop), Ann Van Hoey, Danny Venlet, Jules Wabbes, Sylvain Willenz.
De bedrijven: AGC Glass Europe, Dark, Deknudt Mirrors & Reflect+, Eternum, Fiam Italia, Ligne Roset, Linadura, Objekten, valerie_traan Gallery, Vervloet, Wever & Ducré, Zeri Crafts.

A reflection in water at The San Antonio River Walk shot on Ektachrome Film in 1978. Taken with a Vivitar 35-105mm zoom lens on a Minolta SRT-101.
Another option for today's CY prompt "reflection"...and totally fits Where I stand today....After a rain and wind storm, the birdbath is filled with pine needles, pine cones, branches and leaves. Today I scrubbed the slimy sides and bottom and refilled with new water. #whereistandtoday#ourwisproject
Another reflection off of a flat surface with a little surprise. If you look closely under the main blast there is another small explosion/shock wave starting.
When I put the explosive on the top support it goes into a little brass cup. Sometimes some spills off the cup and lands on the surface below. This time a small chunk of the Ag2C was detonated by the explosion of the larger charge.
If I could control this I could make some nice patterns. I've read papers were researchers do exactly this by setting off small charges simultaneously by using a beam split YAG laser. the heat/shock from the laser sets off two small explosions at the almost exactly the same time.
Cheers.
On someone's suggestion I came down to Mooney's Bay, by myself.
Then suddenly I came up with an idea to just put the camera down and take a shot of me in this state, whether it focused on me or not. I think it looks just fine, if not better, focusing on the grass.
The idea of self-reflection is quite true: for instance, I don't have school, no job, and no friends at all to hang out with. My whole life is ahead of me.
Mooney's Bay is perhaps one of my most favorite places in this city. Unfortunately I couldn't stay long - I had to get all the way back home, about 14.94 km away. If I had my way I'd have gone swimming, right there. It's a sandy bottom, no sea weed, and the water is beautiful.
It's kind of lonely there too. That's how I feel anyway. Man, the grass did a good job, I love this composition.
Taken at West Beach along Lake Michigan. I was fascinated with the reflections in the water. This one is my son's reflection

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.
