Frenchtown Left Bank (Weekend Reflections # 264)

Frenchtown, New Jersey

This is a reflection in a shop window in Frenchtown, NJ. The shop is called Left Bank. At first my eyes were drawn to the Eiffel Tower painting with the umbrella-carrying Parisians. Then I noticed the reflections of the buildings, trees and cars but my favorite reflection is the man who happens to be superimposed on the body of one of the people in the painting. Can you see him? Look at the base of the Eiffel Tower and above the cars. He's on the left side of the tower but on the right side of the speed bump sign. Oh, and he's wearing sunglasses.

Thank you for all of the wonderful comments and anniversary wishes last week!

Enjoy the weekend!

  8. I love this week picture, James... I've noticed first the Eiffel tower and thought that the display must have really pleased you : you are so fond of Paris...

    Then I noticed the guy with shades on and the umbrellas on the painting and I thought : "What a cool contrast !"

    Then I read your text, and I found funny we had the same things noticed at first glance on the picture... ^^

    That's really an awesome one !

  9. Very cool! I thought the Eiffel Tower was reflected at first. Love the umbrella head too. Black is definitely the best reflector, I think.

  18. Hi James what a gorgeous "French" reflection collage! I'm not sure why, but my linky image is not showing here it is again… there are a ton of reflection photos to choose from if you put it in on your end.

  19. Fabulous! I had to squint to figure whether this was a photo in Paris with an American reflection or vice versa. I DID see the man superimposed in the ET group. When you capture one like this, it really brings a smile to your face, n'est-ce pas?

    Happy weekend,

  20. HI James Well if you had not given us directions to where that man was in your shot, I would never have found him. Very interesting reflection. Thanks for hosting.
