Merry-Go-Round (Weekend Reflections # 233)

Hello everyone, I hope you had a good week. This is a picture of a merry-go-round reflected in a mirror at The Orange County Great Park in Irvine, California.

A Revolving Reflection (Weekend Reflections # 232)

Grapevine, Texas                                 

As the name indicates, Grapevine Texas is famous for grapes and each year they host "Grapefest, the largest wine festival in the Southwest". Last fall while I was walking around Grapefest, I saw this Ferris wheel reflection in a glass door. Considering the name of the shop, this reflection seemed very appropriate to me.

I wish you all a good weekend!

Café La Belle Férronnière (Weekend Reflections # 231)

Paris, France

Do you see the reflection? Look at the clock. It's not a reflection, but it's mounted on a large floor-to-ceiling mirror. Okay, now you see the reflection, right? The bar, the man stacking coffee cups and the table in front of the mirror are all reflections. In case you are wondering, I was on the floor above, just like the man you can see in the reflection above the bar on the right side of the clock. :-)

Have a great weekend!

An Old House (Weekend Reflections # 225)

Langhorne, Pennsylvania

I  almost walked right into this reflection. The white house in the reflection is called The Joseph Richardson House and it was built in 1738. It is reflected in the door of the Langhorne Coffee House which is also in an 18th century building.

Have a great weekend!

A Modern Coincidence? (Weekend Reflections # 218)

Manhattan, New York                                          (5TH AVE)


I was trying to get a shot of the gold building reflected on this polished stone when someone set down their Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) bag. At first I was a little annoyed but then I remembered that I'm not the only one in NYC and I had to adapt quickly to changing photo opportunities. So I decided that the MoMA bag would be part of the photo. At the time, I didn't know the name of the reflected building but after a little research I discovered that it is called The Crown Building formerly the Heckscher Building and coincidentally in  1929 it  became the first home of The Museum of Modern Art. :-) The Museum moved to its current location in 1939.

I hope you (Americans) had an enjoyable Thanksgiving and I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Orange Reflections (Weekend Reflections # 216)

Arlington, Virginia

Last week's reflection had apples so this week's is oranges.  The little bit of snow that fell on Tuesday reminded me that winter is approaching, so it's good to stay warm and have plenty of vitamin-C.

Saturday is my wife's birthday so we are leaving today for a very short get-away. Have a good weekend!

St. Paul's Churchyard (Weekend Reflections # 211)

London, England

I'm taking a break (for good reasons) so Weekend Reflections is on auto-pilot until November. However knowing myself I'll probably pop in once in a while to look at reflections, when I have time and internet access.

Have a great weekend!

Taking Time to Dream (Weekend Reflections # 210)

Vienna, Austria

This man seemed to be dreaming of different times and far away places. 
The man on the bench and the paintings next to him were reflected on a room divider made of polished stone in The Kunsthistorisches Museum. I left the wood moulding and a slice of an actual(not reflected) painting on the right side to give a little perspective.

I wont be around very much for the next three or four weeks but Weekend Reflections will still be here, so please continue to enjoy it. :-)

Pouvez-Vous M'entendre Maintenant? (Weekend Reflections # 209)

Paris, France                                                         

"Can you hear me now?"
To be honest I don't know what he was saying, but since a bus and truck just passed by, my guess is as good as any.

Well, I hope everyone had good week. Now let's have some fun with reflections! :-)

Pulloveria (Weekend Reflections # 197)

Vienna, Austria

I take thousands of pictures when I travel and usually I remember taking them even years later, but I don't remember taking this one. It took some time for me to read the upside-down/backwards sign but after a little research I discovered it's a clothing shop sign in Vienna. (Pulloveria)

I hope you all had a nice week (Canada Day July 1st and Independence Day July 4th)!

Have a great weekend!

La Lumière de Victoire! (Weekend Reflections # 195)

Budapest, Hungary   (The lamp above his head is the reflection, it seemed to be in the perfect place.)


I saw this poster of  Teddy Riner through a window in Budapest. Big Teddy is a Frenchman and the 2012 Olympic heavyweight judo gold medal winner. Two months after I took this photo, Teddy won another gold medal at the 2013 European Judo Championship in Budapest. 

I called him Big Teddy because his height and weight are 2.4m (6ft 8in and 131 kg (290 lb)!

Have a great weekend everyone!

At The Louvre (Weekend Reflections # 181)

Paris, France (A reflection in one of the smaller pyramids.)


I'm back from a long and wonderful trip! I went to London, Prague, Vienna, Budapest and Paris and Versailles where I had the pleasure of meeting a blogger friend called Cieldequimper. I'll do a post on my other blog about that at a later date.
I took lots of pictures and probably too many of them are of reflections but hey that's what I do.

Thank you all very much for the nice comments. I read everyone one of them and they really mean a lot to me.

I hope you don't mind a little bragging. While I was gone one of my reflections was published in Dallas Modern Luxury Magazine! In fact my photo is the two page centerfold! :-) Click HERE to see the online version.

I'll be posting more photos from the trip here and at my Something Sighted blog for a long time.

Have a great weekend!

Candles in the Rain (Weekend Reflections # 175)

Paris, France

Paris + night + rain + reflections + my camera,  these five things = a good time for me.

Unfortunately I only have three out of the five this weekend but I'll try to make the most of them. :-)

Have a great weekend!
