Grand Canal at Night (Weekend Reflections # 103)

Newport Beach, California (Little Balboa Island)

 I wish this was a photo of Venice but it's not.
Grand Canal is the name of the walkways on both sides of this canal. Balboa is actually two islands that are connected by a bridge. This is a photo of the little island. I go to Balboa Island almost every night to walk and take pictures. I think both islands combined are only about two miles around so it's a wonder that I'm not bored with it yet.

Hand in Hand on the Sand (Weekend Reflections # 102)

Newport Beach, California

 Sorry for the late post. For some reason Blogger didn't post it at the scheduled time but I should have checked earlier.

I love the look of wave patterns on the sand with reflections on them. I thought about cropping this tighter but I decided to leave their feet to give some perspective, plus this way there's more reflected sunlight on top and wave patterns on the sides.

Balboa Fun Zone (Weekend Reflections # 100)

Newport Beach, California (Balboa Fun Zone) -By the way the purple circle on the right is a spinning Ferris Wheel. The slow shutter speed makes it look like it's going fast but it's actually not very fast. :)

This is the 100TH Weekend Reflections. It's been even more fun than I imagined. Not just seeing great reflections but also meeting people from all around the world.


Thanks for sharing your amazing reflections.

Balboa Pavilion at Night (Weekend Reflections # 97)

Newport Beach, California (Balboa Peninsula)

Hello everybody! I hope you didn't have problems finding my new web address. I'm sorry if the change caused any confusion or trouble. Please update your badges and bookmarks with the new web address http://weekendreflection.blogspot.com/ thanks!

This is a nighttime view of Balboa Peninsula. I took the photo from Balboa Island. The building with all the lights is The Balboa Pavilion, it's over a hundred years old and that's ancient by Orange County standards. :) I also took a picture of this building's reflection in the window on the island side of the water. I'm posting it at Something Sighted and linking it here.

Surreal Waterfront (Weekend Reflections # 96)

Balboa Island, Newport Beach, Ca

The two people walked into the reflection and I'm glad they did. If you look very closely you might be able to see the black statue of a boy sitting under the tree at the top of the stairs that lead to the water or in this case the land because this is upside down.
In case you couldn't tell, almost everything in this photo is an upside down reflection on water. :)

A Balboa Island Bridge (Weekend Reflections # 95)

Balboa Island, Newport Beach, California

I guess I could have titled this "Reflections of the moon and four lamps". :)

You might see this photo again over the next few days because I'm going to link it to Louis Lavache's Sunday Bridges meme and Franius' Night Shot meme. Great places to visit especially if you want to share your bridge or night photos!

Blooming Trees (Weekend Reflections # 94)

Newport Beach, California

This glass building has an interesting golden color that made these tree reflections really stand out. I'm going back when I have more time to take pictures.
