Plaza de España, Madrid, Spain
Taken with a single shot, not double exposure.
a surprisingly decent result given that with the extremely dull & boring grey sky, the reflection was the only way to get it done :)

The world is a looking-glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. Frown at it, and it will in turn look sourly upon you; laugh at it and with it, and it is a jolly kind companion. ~ William Makepeace Thackeray
Reflection of the tall ship Concordia which was leaving that day from Lunenburg with a Canadian high school class aboard who live aboard for 6months sailing and training. Also doing their schoolwork as they travel the world. An amazing experience.
Link with info about the school.
There is sad news today Feb 19 2010 she sank.
OMG I met the parents and the kids the day they set sail.
How very sad. I am glad they got off safely.
She was such a beautiful ship.
Brazil: all 64 rescued after Canadian ship sinks
Buzz up!1 vote Send
RIO DE JANEIRO – A sailing ship owned by a Canadian school sank off the coast of Brazil in strong winds, but all 64 passengers were rescued from rafts Friday.
"Everyone aboard the ship has been rescued — they've all been accounted for," a Navy spokeswoman said on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to speak about the incident.
Brazil's Navy said in a statement that a distress signal was picked up from the three-masted SV Concordia about 5 p.m. (2 p.m. EST; 1900 GMT) Thursday. It was located about 300 miles off the coast of Rio de Janeiro.
Three hours later, an Air Force plane spotted life rafts floating in the ocean where the distress beacon had come from. The Navy had already informed shipping in the region to be on the alert.
The Navy sent its own rescue ship, but those aboard the Canadian ship were plucked from the ocean early Friday by other vessels.
The Concordia is owned by West Island College International in Nova Scotia.
Canada's Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon said nobody on board was injured and he thanked "Brazilian authorities who led a search and rescue operation and acted swiftly to assist the ship and its passengers."
The school said in a statement on its Web site that the Concordia was on a 10-month voyage. It added the "status of the vessel is unknown," though the Brazilian Navy said it sank.
Terry Davies, founder the school, told The Canadian Broadcasting Corp. that the rescued passengers were being taken back to Rio de Janeiro.
He said 42 Canadians were on board the ship, but didn't say where the others were from.
The ship had left Brazil's northeast on Feb. 8 and was expected to dock in Montevideo, Uruguay, on Tuesday. It was then scheduled to stop at several islands in the Atlantic and in southern Africa before returning to the Caribbean and then to Canada.
The school's Web site says the 188-foot-long (57.5-meter-long) Concordia was built in 1992 and "meets all of the international requirements for safety." It can carry up to 66 passengers and crew and also can operate under motor power.
The college's Web site says it gives high school and college students the chance to study various subjects while sailing the world. Tuition is listed as being 42,500 Canadian dollars ($40,600) a year for students in the 11th and 12th grades and in university.
"Reflections of Roseates" by Patti Deters. A group of six Roseate Spoonbill (Platalea ajaja) waterbirds forage in the shallow waters in a Florida marsh. These are large waterfowl that get their pink coloring from the foods they eat, digging into the muddy bottoms of swamps. An interesting fact is that as they get older, their heads get more white and bald!

I have always preferred the reflection of the life to life itself.

Day 78 / Street Life 365
The reflections along the Hillsborough River are entirely peaceful. That is until you realize alligators lurk just below the surface.
But if I was an alligator, this seems like the perfect place to live. I'm living in a state park, I don't get harassed, there are plenty of turtles to munch, and I don't have to get stuck in someone's pool and have my jaws taped shut.
In reality, alligators have it hard. Only a small percentage make it to maturity. The most energetic, most intelligent among them live out their full lives. And the luckiest of those are living here in these beautiful parks.
Reflections in life come back to you permanently as reminder that there always different ways to see things

"...as though (s)he is recognizing for the first time the complexity of its construction and, through it, perhaps, the very wonder of life–– reminding us that reflection is requisite to wisdom."
