Urban Reflections in Antique Shop Windows

I took this because the interplay between the reflections of pedestrians and the historic architecture in the shop window intrigued me, creating a dynamic contrast that beautifully blended urban life with the rich details of the antique objects inside. The way the figures in casual clothing seemed to interact with the display added a captivating layer to the scene, and the warm glow of the lampshade against the pastels of the building façades created a dreamlike quality that I found irresistible.

Monochrome madness

Seagulls in the city

Seagulls in the city – taken with my mobile using the zoom, not the best of results, but I can live with these. The reflections was the main attraction, also “Splish splash, I was takin’ a bath” caught my eye.

I came across these images from our visit to Las Vegas, these are taken from our hotel window reflections. I find the rather impressive and artistic.

I took this a couple hours ago, after rainy and very misty days, the sun is out, and lots of snow has melted. I went for short drive to Humaljärvi (Lake humaljärvi) it is still covered with ice. This part where the water flows it was open and I got these artistic reflection shot.

Simple, but I like them. What do you think?

SIMPLE but effective

Reflection. I always look for those. I am also reflecting, pondering about the past and future.

I visited some art and photography exhibitions this summer, as well as looking at art, I looked at the people looking at it and , yes, reflections.

The sun was warm but the wind was chill.

You know how it is with an April day

When the sun is out and the wind is still,

You’re one month on in the middle of May.

But if you so much as dare to speak,

A cloud comes over the sunlit arch,

A wind comes off a frozen peak,

And you’re two months back in the middle of March.

Driving to Porkkala in the morning we passed this field with a touch of mist still visible. This sight appealed to me, mostly due to the light. Looking to two directions from the same spot the light was totally different.The low light if autumn is beautiful.

Monday, I arrived to my work at 7:30 and the first thing I did is, I lit a candle. It created nice reflections on the mirror placed under the decoration. Mission accomplished. Then it was time to go and make a pot of coffee to start the day off…
