Skywatch Doppelgänger


This shot is straight out of the camera, not even any cropping. I came to this spot and just knew that this would be a shot that I would like. I love reflections. One of these days I should start a reflections meme.

You are always great with Skyscrapers! I think it would be a great idea of starting a new meme on reflections! You don't have to "reflect" on it, go ahead!

This one is awesome!

clairz said...

I have been realizing lately that I am very literal in what I am looking at and often don't even see what is reflected in nearby surfaces. I think you've educated my eye and have given me a new hobby!

Go with the reflections idea, I love it.

Thank you for sharing this great photo.

Perfect. And yes, that would be a good meme.

It took me a while to figure out what was going on, the reflection is so perfect I didn't see it at first. Great shot!.

That's one sweet shot. Like others, at first I didn't realize I was looking at a reflection. Then it hit me and I was like Wow. Very cool.

Thanks for popping by my blog.

Very cool....

AKO said...

A nice skyline. Just curious of what is sticking up in the middle of the picture. Is it a building?

chrome3d said...

At first I didn´t knew which was the original and which was not. That is a good feeling when you know this is IT.

AKO said...

Yes, you were right!! It really IS breast cancer awareness candy. A new campaign to raise money for research. Good of you to figure that out!

You are also right about the sour candy cars, I really like them, but the originals are the best. :)

Have a great weekend! :D

EG CameraGirl said...

Wonderful! I'm fond of reflections too. ;-)

tapirgal said...

I actually started a reflections memee for about 2 days, then decided it was a project I didn't need. If you start one, I'll join :) Just be sure to let me know about it!

Arija said...

Great shot, I'm all for reflection too and would like to be in it if you do.

Sara Chapman said...

Absolutely, a reflections meme. I'd participate; I love them, too. This is a great one. Thanks for visiting my blog, also.
