I think this building makes a great reflection. It was just starting to rain when I took these pictures.

"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.

    The rain and the movement in the water adds another layer of wonderment to this reflection, James. Since joining this meme, I am starting to notice reflections everywhere. Funny how that works!

    A simply awesome reflection James! I had to look twice to realize it WAS a reflection! I thought the leaves were falling from the rees. Excellant choice.

    These are incredibly perfect. If I didn't know they were water reflections I would have thought them to be oil paintings.

    I was not able to understand it with the reflection till I watched the leaf which floated on the surface of the water.

    It is very wonderful.

    These are great! I actually got a little disoriented for a moment — "Why is James posting a dark, blurry photo?" ;) Not like you at all! Love that you kept a little of the grassy bank in the photos.

    These are good captures; they echo the season with the leaves, gray tones, and rain, and also give a clear picture of the building, even if it is upside down!

    I saw your comment on my AM3 site and you mentioned that we posted similar shots of the same place on the same date. Quite a co-incidence. I decided to go back into the original and see which day I shot it and what time. I took mine on Nov. 1, 2009 a little before 3PM. It would be really funny if it was the same day. I remember it was an overcast kind of blustery day but I do not remember it raining.

    Here is the link to that photo in larger format on my main page:
