Coups de Coeur (Weekend Reflections # 385)

Lyon, France

So what is it? 
Well, it's a reflection in a window of a closed shop that had one of those pull down chain link gates behind the glass. The reflection is an illuminated building with a big red beating heart in front of it. The bottom of the heart is obscured by silhouettes of the people watching the show. People were able to touch a console that allowed the heart to match their heart's rhythm with light flashes as love songs played over loud speakers.   
This was one of the installations at the Fête des Lumières. Click HERE to see a 30 second video of the installation.

Happy Reflecting and Happy Valentine's Day!

Arsenale di Venezia (Weekend Reflections # 384)

Venice, Italy

This is the entrance to the Venetian Arsenal, a former shipyard and armory complex. As you can see it was a very foggy night and the water was agitated, but I managed to capture a few distorted reflections.

This place looks very impressive and it's full of history. Click HERE if you would like to read more about it.

Happy Reflecting!

Window Dressing (Weekend Reflections # 381)

Florence, Italy

One evening as I was walking around Florence I noticed an interesting antique shop with a fancy old mirror.  Unfortunately the shop was closed so I took a picture through the window.  As you can see I only focused on the reflection. :-)

Happy Reflecting!

Night Stylist (Weekend Reflections # 376)

Venice, Italy         Pre-scheduled post (I'll be back next week)  Probably very tired but hopefully with some nice reflections. :-)


I peeked into a hair salon window during my 2014 Venice trip and saw the stylist's reflection in a mirror. 

Happy Reflecting !

Vino for Two (Weekend Reflections # 375)

Florence, Italy              Pre-scheduled post (on vactaion)


I saw a subtle reflection so I took a chance. The window was frosted and had red horizontal stripes, so I wasn't sure whether or not the reflection of the little wine bar across the street could be seen in a photo. 

Happy Reflecting!

Leaving the Fun Zone (Weekend Reflections # 369)

Newport Beach, California
It's hard to tell but everything in this photo is a reflection. 

I was in my car on a ferry from Balboa Peninsula to Balboa Island. When I looked at my side view mirror, this is what I saw. Of course, my camera was within reach; however, I didn't expect this photo to work because it was really dark and the ferry was moving. I'm glad that I took the shot.

Happy Reflecting !

Golden Wien (Weekend Reflections # 346)

Vienna, Austria                                                      Franziskanerplatz          

I was walking around Vienna one snowy evening when I happened to notice this reflection on a gold nameplate. You only see a little part of the engraved  calligraphy at the bottom of the picture.
The gold plate says "Michael Wolfgang Fischer Juwelen".  I think Juwelen is German for jewelry or jeweler. Who needs jewelry when you can have reflections, right? 
 No, I'm not going to ask my wife that question. ;-)

Have a great weekend!

Chiesa di San Rocco (Weekend Reflections # 337)

Venice, Italy

This is a night time reflection of The Church of Saint Roch/Chiesa di San Rocco. It was reflected in a shop window. You can also see the reflections of people in front of the church. 

Now, look closely above and to the left of the church door. Can you see the ghostly face? It's actually one of many harlequin masks that were inside of the shop. I know the mask isn't a reflection but I like what it adds to the picture. :-)

I just realized that this is the second time that I have posted a reflection of this church. The first time was four years ago. The photos are from two different Venice trips. If you want to see the first one from Weekend Reflections # 126  Click here.

Happy Reflecting! Don't forget to set your clocks forward this weekend. (For those of us whom it applies to.)

Summer Rain (Weekend Reflections # 332)

Philadelphia, PA

When I took this shot last summer, I didn't notice the reflections, but now I do, so here it is. :-)

Philadelphia is great place for reflections.  My wife is taking me there for my birthday dinner on Saturday so I'll be on the lookout for them.

Happy Reflecting!

Wet Peanuts (Weekend Reflections # 329)

New York City

Last week I shared a Snoopy reflection. This week it's Charlie Brown and Sally. This is reflected on a round black table next to the Snoopy reflection table. :-)  

Only part of the table is in the photograph because that's where the reflections were. I hope this adds a little clarity for those whose eyes were fooled by last week's reflection.  

Look beyond Charlie and Sally's mouths and you will see where the table ends and the street and sidewalk begin. I couldn't fit them in the picture, but people were standing on the sidewalk looking into Macy's Christmas display windows.  

Have a great long weekend!

A Snoopy on 34th Street (Weekend Reflections # 328)

New York City

It was a rainy evening in New York and I was soaked but I couldn't pass up the reflections. This is Snoopy reflected on a wet table in front of Macy's on 34th Street. Actually the reflection was on Broadway between 34th and 35th streets.  :-)

Happy reflecting!

Happy New Year ! (Weekend Reflections # 327)

New York City                                     (Times Square)

This red M&M reflection was tying to get away by hitching a ride on the back of a car window.  It looks like he started his New Year's celebration early (notice the Budweiser reflections above his head. :-)
  
I wish you happiness in 2016 !

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 !
