Mirrored Ceiling (Weekend Reflections # 324)

Paris, France

The little yellow guy on the right directed my attention to reflections on the ceiling and on the wall. If you look closely you might notice a little green man on the left pointing to a reflection of a Christmas ornament and the reflected Christmas tree lights above it.

Happy Reflecting !

Paris la Nuit (Weekend Reflections # 323)

Paris, France                      Hotel du Louvre Reflected


Looking through a shop window I saw a statuette of a girl with her head bowed and arms to her side while blowing a horn.  Then, happily, I noticed that she was surrounded by reflections!

Happy Reflecting !

Big Apple (Weekend Reflections # 322)

New York City.                      5th Ave.   Apple Store

Coincidentally, exactly two years ago I posted another reflection of this golden building in a post titled "A Modern Coincidence". I like this one better because it has the big Apple reflection next to the building reflection. The see-through Apple cube is a great place to capture interesting reflections.

A belated Happy Thanksgiving and I hope you have a good weekend.

Solidarité avec Paris ! (Weekend Reflections # 321)

New York City            Bleu, blanc et rouge becomes red, white and blue when it's reflected.

  I took a walk after celebrating my wife's birthday in NYC and found this reflection of a building.  It was a touching tribute to a city that I love and have visited many times.


My heartfelt condolences to Paris after yet another horrific Islamic terrorist attack.


Je vous souhaite un week-end plein de paix !

The Rodin Museum (Weekend Reflections # 318)

 Reflections at the entrance of La Musée de Rodin.

The "Rodin Museum opened in November 1929. A unique ensemble of Beaux-Arts architecture and a formal French garden in which to experience the sculpture of Auguste Rodin, the Museum was designed by French architect Paul Cret (1876–1945) and French landscape designer Jacques Gréber (1882–1962)."

Insomnia (Weekend Reflections # 317)

Philadelphia, PA

A couple of nights ago while walking to the train station I noticed that someone was staring at me from inside of a shop called Insomnia Cookies. On second look I saw that it was actually a poster in a store window across the street reflected on the side of a refrigerator. I was in a hurry so I didn't have time to buy any cookies but I did have enough time to take a photo of the reflection with my phone.

By the way, they deliver hot cookies until 3:00 a.m.

Tall Reflections (Weekend Reflections # 316)

Philadelphia, PA

I wanted to take a photo when I saw this reflection in the street. I didn't have much time because a bus was about to stop right on top of it. I snatched my phone out of my pocket, clicked and then stepped back just in time.  Thankfully, I didn't get splashed. :-)

Pierrot "le Fou" (Weekend Reflections # 314)


The other day I noticed my cat Pierrot using my smartphone as a pillow.  He happened to be right next to the computer where I was surfing the web. Fortunately, a camera was within arm's reach so I took advantage of the moment. Pierrot woke up, but I got a nice reflection surprise.

The Starbucks Siren (Weekend Reflections # 313)

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania        A starbucks logo reflected in a window

The other night I looked through a window at a Starbucks in Philadelphia and noticed the logo reflected in another window at the other side of the store. The siren seems to be hovering above the walking man but in reality he was across the street.

The Theme Building (Weekend Reflections # 312)

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), California

This building used to fascinate me when I was a little boy. I remember being so happy when my mother and I had dinner in the restaurant that used to be in it. We had a great time eating fondue and watching jets take off and land. I didn't go inside of the building this time but I did go in one of the jets.

Summer Days Drifting Away (Weekend Reflections # 311)

Corona Del Mar, California

I almost forgot how nice it feels to walk barefoot along the beach. It's only been a little more than a week but I miss it already. Even after several years, sometimes it still feels strange not living near a beach.

Catching a California Sunset (Weekend Reflections # 310)

Newport Beach, California

 In a shop window next to the Newport Beach pier, I noticed this little Mexican man holding a big margarita glass. I stood at angle and took a shot, hoping it would look like he caught the reflection of the sun in his glass. The palm tree reflections are bonuses. :-)

I had a nice stay in my hometown, or more technically, my "home county"  (I have lived in a few different cities in Orange County). At first the weather was a bit warmer and more humid than I expected, but towards the end, the comfortable ocean breezes kicked in and all was good.


Have a nice and hopefully long weekend!!!

Break Time (Weekend Reflections # 309)

Time for a "petite pause". I'll be away visiting my family this weekend. I'll be back next week. Hopefully, I'll find time to capture some reflections. :-)

Have fun, see you next weekend !

Sports Bar (Weekend Reflections # 308)

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I took this shot on a very hot day. It was so hot that I decided to take a short-cut through a sports bar that is located above the train station.  I was rewarded with a wonderful blast of cool air and a cool reflection to boot.  I probably should have moved the menu from the bar because it obscured the reflection of the couple on the left. Oh well, I had to catch a train.  :-)

Have a great weekend!

Reflet d'un Réverbère (Weekend Reflections # 307)

Paris, France

One evening while walking past the fountain in Place Andre Malraux, I noticed blue underwater spot lights shining on a reflection of the top of a street lamp. Then suddenly the lights changed color to white and then to red. :-)

City Hall Reflection (Weekend Reflections # 306)

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Philadelphia's City Hall building reflected in a window of another building. Actually, this is just the top part of the building. It's not easy to get more than that without a wide angle lens. The Philadelphia City Hall Building used to be the tallest habitable building in the world (1894-1908).

Yes, this is a reflection. Look on the right side and you will see two recessed lighting circles and the ceiling lines inside of the building.  :-)

Venice (Weekend Reflections # 303)

Venice, Italy

If you look between the thick white lines on the window you will see what I was looking at. A man and a gondolier on a bridge. Like me, the man was probably waiting for his wife who was inside the shop and the gondolier was probably waiting for some tourists. The woman on the right is not a reflection, well not all of her anyway. :-)

Modern Eye (Weekend Reflections # 301)

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania                   Modern Eye                                  

This is the window of a place that sells glasses. Their slogan is "see differently".  I guess I did because this is what I saw. The eye is actually a mural inside of the shop and everything else is a reflection.

Trapped in a Reflection (Weekend Reflections # 297)

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Men in the window: "Why is that strange guy taking our picture?" 

Me: "Because if there is one type of photography that I like more than reflections, it's street photography. I couldn't pass up this mixture of both."  

Well, at least that's how I imagine it would have went down if I stayed there long enough. However, when doing candid shots, I like to stop, click, then keep walking. :-)

Winter Framed (Weekend Reflections # 292)

Holland, PA

A snowy scene reflected in a restaurant window.

Now it's May and winter is long gone.

"Il sort le bout de son nez
Quand arrive le mois de mai


Le muguet, le muguet
Le muguet du premier mai

On le cueille dans la forêt
pour en faire un gros bouquet

Il est toujours bien venu
Et fleurit au coin des rues

C'est un vrai porte bonheur
C'est la plus jolie des fleurs

Fiddlers Three (Weekend Reflection # 287)

Philadelphia, PA

 This is a building and some street lamps reflected in a musical instrument shop.

"Old King Cole was a merry old soul
And a merry old soul was he;
He called for his pipe, and he called for his bowl
And he called for his fiddlers three.
Every fiddler he had a fiddle,
And a very fine fiddle had he;
Oh there's none so rare, as can compare
With King Cole and his fiddlers three"
-Nursery rhyme
