  7. Est-ce le reflet le passé, ou est-il déjà le futur ? Le passé et le futur se ressemple tellement par moment : les choses semblent évoluer, mais les erreurs demeurent toujours les même d'une époque à l'autre, étonnant...

    Mais fi de philosophie ! Cette superbe photo est un bel hommage à un quartier qui vaut décidément le détour à Dallas : ça donne envie de visiter !!!

    BONNE ANNEE à Toi mais aussi aux tiens, bien sûr, James ! Puisses-tu continuer à organiser ce défi hebdomadaire encore longtemps...

  9. Such a clever perspective! Like a yin and yang, the real and the surreal together for a moment! Wonderful!

  10. Very unusual reflection photo. It took me a while to see what was being reflected.

    I've linked my photo at www.uponhaliburtonhill.blogspot.ca/2013/01/west-coast-walking.html

  25. When seeing the picture I had a shock: we have same sculptures by Jaume Pensa here,as you know, and I thought: "he finally came to Nice but did not say it!" :o))
    Great shot , maybe one day you'll make the same kind here!

  27. For some reason I like the reflection better than the real thing, who would understand that...
    God bless you!

  29. Great reflection; so clear and crisp. It is hard to see that one side is not actual, but a reflection.

  33. Hi James, for some reason last week I could find the Linky, but it seems to be working this weekend, so you get two for the price of one ! How's that for a deal ?
