Nice, Imec. Funny that the reflection is not what we see at the top.

The mirror glass of the buildings of the 70's and 80's have spoiled us for looking at the old buildings backwards -- and sometimes noticing them for the first time.

Nice, Imec. Funny that the reflection is not what we see at the top. Shot from my bedroom window while still half asleep. Not properly exposed - the picture that is...

It is perfectly exposed, imec. A truly remarkable photograph.

That's what I liked so much about it, Imec ~~ that the backlight of the rising sun darkened the real trees so that they couldn't be seen, but their reflections showed up so delicately and beautifully.
Bjd's great picture has a version of the same effect, with what's reflected seeming not to really exist, due to the angle of the building in the foreground. Love that pic, Bjd!
What's so cool about Kerouac's is how the angles of the modern reflective building mimic the distortions of antique glass -- the kind of glass the reflected buildings might be expected to have.

*pushes jaw closed with both hands*
These are ASTOUNDING pictures, Askar! It's not just the beauty, nor the unexpected views, each one seems to say something. I guess if I were forced to pick a favorite, it would be the middle one, although I've keep going back to enjoy all of them all over again. Sorry, I'm burbling -- it's just that I reeeeally like them.
Speaking of going back, I looked at this thread after Imec posted the sunrise picture, and completely missed Casimira's Manhatten pic. It's truly wonderful, with all the angles, the big and small reflections, and that great effect of the Chrysler building blending into the sky.

Within this entire thread, I continue to be fascinated by one inner theme, the old reflected in the new. Some exquisite photos which lead me to thinking about periods of architecture and searching further. Askar, your recent three are exceptional. Where are they taken?

Hey, hey, Fumobici ~~ what a lively picture, interesting on so many levels. The rounded and flat shapes reflecting so many different elements would make it a great picture, but that perfect touch of nature -- the tree -- separating the old and new mirrored architecture really elevates it to exceptional status.

Askar, your recent three are exceptional. Where are they taken? It's the cathedral of Reims reflecting in the windows of the Médiathèque (media library)

It's nice to know that the architecture of that building can be used for something aesthetically pleasant. Rouen and Amiens also have modern buildings right across from their cathedrals, but they are hopeless.

A Magritte and a Monet!
Those are wonderful photos, Kerouac!

It stopped raining for awhile so I nipped out with the camera to see what I could find! Plants were dripping wet and I found these reflective raindrops. This is the plant: This is the reflection in the raindrops

That's your Dietes, isn't it? (I recognize it from the in-bloom thread). And it seems to be reflecting some of its own spiky foliage. Whatever it might be, the photograph is STELLAR!
