New Year's Day (Weekend Reflections #15)

Happy New Year!

This is a reflection in a shop window in Prague. You can see a typical scene but if you look closely it appears that the man and woman in the reflection are also on the staircase that's inside the shop.

"Weekend Reflections" rules are simple:

1)Post a *reflection photograph that was taken by you. (*A photo that contains a reflection)

2)After I post my Weekend Reflections photo, add your name, country and link to MckLinky

3)Be sure that your link goes directly to your Weekend Reflections post.

4)Comment on other Weekend Reflections participant’s blogs.

Feel free to be creative. Remember this meme is for any type of reflection.
This meme runs Friday 11 am EST through Sunday, so feel free to link your post anytime within that time frame. Join the fun!

  8. Very intricate! BTW, my shot of the moon might have rated as a reflection since the moon shines by reflection only.

  13. Intriguing shot ... lots to capture the eye and the imagination too. I'm participating at Happily Retired Gal this week rather than Small Reflections ... just because.

    May the new decade bring you and yours joyful opportunities and experiences!
    Hugs and blessings,

  14. James, you have confirmed in me an interest in Prague that weas kindled by Alex's blog. The city is very beautiful, none moreson than the way you show it today.

    May I wish you and Vicki health and happiness and a dollop of giddiness as we journey through twenty ten.

  23. James, tt is a very creative and cool reflection. I was looking and checking out everything. Well done!

    ReplyDelete
  24. That's a lovely photo. Happy new year!

  25. I think I like this best when not trying to work out what's what - so the reflections become patterns over-laying the street scene. One of the things I specially like about your photos is the way architecture is almost always prominent.

    I have joined Weekend Reflections for the first time today and have added my link. Hope this is ok.

    Happy New Year!

  28. Dear Prague, beautiful wet or dry.

    If the couple were really on the stairs, they'd look like miniatures.
