Mr. Blue Sky (Weekend Reflections #16)

As soon as I saw this sculpture in the window surrounded by the reflected sky I knew the title for this post. This week my entry is more about the whole picture rather than just the reflection. I'll post the reflection of yesterday's post another time.


"Weekend Reflections" rules are simple:

1)Post a photograph taken by you that contains a visual refection.

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 photographs.
This meme runs Friday 11 am EST through 11pm Sunday, so feel free to link your post anytime within that time frame. Join the fun!

  2. This is way cool James. You might consider a wee crop at the top to eliminate the two lights. Mr. Blue Sky is fascinating. There's enough to see and enough mystery. Great job on this one.

  5. Thank you for explaining the mistery of the portrait. I really didn't see that at all (now I do).

    Where have you been sky-/reflection watching? I like that sculpture. (If it's not to big I would have wanted one like that actually:)

  9. Dear James, it's fantastic!
    I'm really impressed.
    Wonderful capture dear friend.Unfortunately I won't join with a picture this weekend , mainly because my kids want to go out during the weekend, you know...and it would be difficult to visit all wonderful reflections posts, anyway I will try to visit our friends, because it's amazing and I love this theme! :)
    God bless you

  31. I saw the face of the sculpture in the window, the tree, and the blue sky! Gorgeous picture, James!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Absolutely wonderful, James! The perfect title too for your exotic mystery man.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Very nice effect! He looks like an image in a dream. And he looks like a very interesting sculpture too — I'm intrigued by the little man balancing on the cigarette (?).

    Finally joining your meme — how could I not after that comment of yours the other day? :)

    Acutally, it was this line in your SS post that made me think: "Reflections can be subtle or crystal clear and they can be found all over the place. If you look for them." I haven't been noticing reflections much unless they were obvious (like my post today) but now I'm going to keep my eyes open for them.

    ReplyDelete
  34. wow, very interesting reflections!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Very creative James. I'm not sure I would have spotted this. COOL !

  36. That is an awesome photo, James. The eyes on the image seem to draw you into the window.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Looks like the paranormal, a walk into twilight zone. Very well takan. Cheers!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Takes on a mystical look with the figure and swirls of mist (the clouds) around the form. Very cool.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Looks like #45 through #49 slipped some spam in on us James.

  40. Hi James! I love it - another fascinating reflection - I love how you really have to look at the picture to appreciate it (much like last weeks one)! This gives me great inspiration to look for new ways of capturing reflections! Thanks so much for the opportunity (and the visit!)
    Enjoy the weekend!

  41. What a mysterious reflection photo. Almost like a double exposure! I have an unusual one, I think, of a man's hand with several rings on a shiny table. You have inspired me to notice reflections in a new way.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Very nice finding ! I too always look for reflections now !

    ReplyDelete
  43. You're right this is much more than the reflection itself. This mysterious image is so well composed and the sculpture just visible enough to make us curious. Great picture!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Hi, James!

    Beautiful reflection as usual and the title suits very well.

    ReplyDelete
  45. That is fun - I like it.
    The sky and both the big blue and the little one.
    I have been looking more and more for reflection since I started here.

  52. Eyes of the Mr. blue are pretty.
