A Fragment of a Memory (Weekend Reflections # 538)

Paris, France

I don't remember where I was coming from or where I was going when I took this photo, but I do remember where I was when I took it. I was standing in front of Hôtel de Vendôme at the entrance to Place Vendôme. 

Have a great weekend!

Reflections in Reflections (Weekend Reflections # 537)

Paris, France                (Everything is a reflection except the small strip of floor in the bottom right corner. )     


I remember taking this photo through the window of Knoll International in December of 2014 while walking on Blvd Saint-Germain-des-Prés toward the Pont de la Concorde. When I looked in the window I felt a little overwhelmed by all of the reflections. This place has lots of mirrors plus the buildings across the street were reflecting on the window.  I didn't have much time and it was almost dark but I did manage a quick shot before catching up with my wife who was sick of my constant photo stops.  Just one more picture ma chérie!  ;-)

Have a great weekend!

Goodbye 2010's, Hello 2020's (Weekend Reflections # 535)

Newport Beach, California

The weather around here isn't good for sleighs and reindeer so Santa has to be creative. I imagine that he's being pulled by dolphins. ;-) Thankfully, I was good this year and he brought me some colorful reflections.

Happy 2020!

Westminster Abbey at Night (Weekend Reflections # 532)

London, England

Same as last week but this time Westminster Abbey is reflected in a different window at night. I think this was a travel agency window. Notice the very blurry Big Ben poster (not a reflection) bottom left.

Have a great weekend!

Savon Blanche Leigh (Weekend Reflections # 530)

London, England

The women and the Art Nouveau poster were reflected in a mirror inside of Brasserie Zédel.
The poster is an 1899 soap advertisement. The soap was called "Savon Blanche Leigh." The only Blanche I've known was my grandmother. I guess it's a name from the past. I should mention that the gold line that runs across the women is a hand rail for stairs and is not a reflection.

Have a great weekend!

Looking for an Allegory (Weekend Reflections # 529)

Florence, Italy

This is one of those times when you probably had to be there to know exactly what you're looking at. So I'll try to explain. 
(My wife couldn't see the floating man until I showed her)
This is a reflection in a shop window. I was outside looking in. The easiest explanation is that everything in this photo is a reflection except for the strange man in the fetal position who seems to be floating above the reflected parked cars. Can you see him? His head is bent downward and seemingly resting on the nearest car with his bent knees on the second car while his foot seems to be pointing toward the man walking up the street. The floating man is not a reflection and he's not real either.The shop was closed, but I'm guessing it was an art gallery and the man hanging from the ceiling was part of an art installation. 

Have a great weekend!

Eye Contact (Weekend Reflections # 528)

Rome, Italy

I thought I was being sneaky taking this picture from outside and behind them. I forgot that reflections work both ways.   ;-)

Happy reflecting!

Slowly Draining Away ? (Weekend Reflections # 527)

Rome, Italy

The water was slowly going down the drain but that didn't seem to disturb the reflection.

Have a great weekend and don't forget to set back your clocks this weekend if needed.

Rialto Bridge Storage ? (Weekend Reflections # 523)

Venice, Italy

Would you believe that they drained the canal and now they are storing cooking pots and cleaning supplies under the Rialto Bridge? Okay, it's not true. This is just the bridge and some buildings reflected in a supply room window.  :-)

Happy reflecting!

In a Window (Weekend Reflections # 521)

Venice, Italy

Can you believe that Weekend Reflections has been around for 10 years? I had no idea that it would last this long. Thanks for ten years of reflections!

Now I'll try to explain this reflection. I was standing outside looking into a shop's window.
1)The building with the green awning and hanging sheet is a reflection.
2)The white building with the little balcony and the little head sticking out at the top left corner of the shadow are reflections.
3)The blue sky is a reflection.

Looking through the reflections can you see the umbrellas hanging upside-down inside of the shop?
Hint: Look at the bottom right corner. :-)

Oh, and the two streaks of light above the umbrellas were the ceiling lights inside the shop and not reflections.  

Have a great weekend!

On a Canal (Weekend Reflections # 520)

Venice, Italy

I envy the people who live in this house that reflects so nicely on the water. I hope you don't get disoriented because I turned the photo upside-down.

Happy Reflecting!
