I see you’ve been to many places, good for you, where will you go next, Cindy?
Africa!! Very excited about it!
wow – when did you get all these. they are so nice. beautiful and of such high quality!
I love reflections in general because they give us doubts about the solidity of our perceptions. What am I actually seeing and what is just reflection? I also like how you see things in the reflections that you cannot see without the mirror effect. I like to be reminded that there is so much in this world that is there, but cannot always be directly seen.
Wow, quite a collection of the motif! Brilliant!
You are citizen of our one world Fae. You live, cook and speak from the perspective of multiple countries simultaneously. You rock~
As always, you post great pictures, I especially like the first one, the reflection makes it look like you have one stairway to go up and one to go down. hehe! A.G.
Oh how fascinating. I hadn’t considered that! Reflections free us up to see imaginitively because our brain has to stop for a second to process the competing images.
Beauty and truth….makes me weepy…in a good way…
Your comment made me weepy. We need to take better care of our ONE world and all the people and creatures who live on it. <3 <3
Me too~
Great photography! Your post reminded me of this quote by Jane Jacobs:
“Cities have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created by everybody.”
Beautiful & perfect and your gorgeous city is here! <3
Oh my.. that deep orange sunset brings back memories 🙂 Amazing pictures 🙂
So happy you enjoyed!
🙂 🙂
Can t see a tree:-)
True, mostly city shots except of course for The Holler!
Such lovely reflections! Love the two “watery” ones from Copenhagen and Vancouver. Thanks for a reflective day!
Thank you more for such a reflective comment! 😉
Wonderful!
So glad! <3
🙂
Nice theme and some great sunset colours. And, upon reflection you are twice the photographer you used to be (well not really but it made the heron grin). 🙂
Laughing! Twice as good works for me. Of course that could just be vanity from looking at all my reflections! 😉 😉
I don’t seem to reflect in mirrors. I wonder why ?
Do me a favor, get some garlic out of the frig and take a bite……then tell me what happens. I will wrap some garlic around my neck and get a crucifix and await your reply.
Wonderful photos and reflections Cindy. Wish you a great trip to Africa and looking forward to see those photos too 😀
The biggest challenge will be locating wifi in Kruger so I can send them to you in real time which I completely love doing~
Good luck Cindy 😉
The problem with traveling around
the world is the personal bio footstep.
Never thought of it that way…….
Aww, Copenhagen, I miss you… 🙁 *laugh*
Such a fun and beautiful city!
Cindy, you’ve been to such interesting places, and I love the photos you’ve shared. But those last two of the Holler just might be my favorites — nothing like Home Sweet Home!!
You are right about home, it’s the place you always come back to! <3
Great series Cindy, love the first shot ~ and it also fits/contrasts so well with the last.
Buenos Aires is an amazing city. We have been three times and it is still not enough because there is so much to see and so many places to launch off to from there. Hope you go~
Buenos Aires…one day, I do believe I will walk her streets, I’ve heard too many nice things not to 🙂
can’t wait to see the fotos~
Love the similarities in architecture, the clouds and that gorgeous Holler sunset.
I don’t know all the reasons why, but The Holler has quite incredible sunsets. So pleased you enjoyed~
Wonderful photos Cindy. Especially love the first one, and the fourth one.
Alison
Well the fourth is your city, Vancouver. Who doesn’t love Vancouver? Fabulous city and Buenos Aires, amazingly fun and beautiful city~
Huh! Well, I didn’t even notice that it was Vancouver, just that I likes the colours 🙂
What a delightful image. Well imagined and caught! Vancouver, huh? One of my favorite places in the world! Sigh.
Canada is just beauty, everywhere you go! Vancouver is one of my favorite cities too, such of blend of cultures and so clean~
Amazing
Mil grazi~
Cheers to you, Cindy, and one wonderful world! Great shots!
PS I will keep you posted on the award thing. It happens on Feb. 25!
Oh good. Glad you gave me a date. Wrote it on my calendar……..can’t wait!
Great reflections on our world, Cindy and wow, what a sunset!
We get some doozy sunsets here, although the most amazing I have ever seen were in Patagonia. Thank you my friend and Happy Sunday evening~
So beautiful. Love the flaming sky. So, AFRICA???? Wow! That will be some trip.
Really geared up for it. We are self driving in Kruger for the second time. This time we know a little bit more, but we are still newbies to Africa. You need to know all this road etiquette for water buffalos and such. Last time I studied all about what to do in case an elephant charges your car. Made Jim and my son watch videos of charges. We never had a problem. But a ranger provoked an ellie, so he charged us on one of our few arranged ranger led tours. Trust me, we we will not provoke an irritable bull ellie in must. Jim & I are currently having the same argument as last time. I want a large strong vehicle because many African animals think the vehicle size reflects strength. Jim will of course rent a compact because it is cheaper. Last time he tried to sell me on the idea that in a small car we would be harder to spot….. 😉
Wonderful architectural photos, Cindy. Those sunsets are amazing! 🙂
Thank you Linda. Good ol’ Holler. She has rustic beauty~
Great shots of the architecture or cityscape and I also like the blood orange Holler sky shots!
So glad you like them. The Holler sunsets when they are good, are very, very good. Cheers to you my friend and thank you too!
Absolutely an all glimpses into places and cultures we would never see if they had no been posted here. Love seeing photos of far away places and folks who are there.
Bloggers like you are why I blog! So kind & so appreciated~
Once again–you share the beauty of our one world. Thank you, Cindy!
Thank you more for the kind appreciation!
I’d recently hit a point in my life where I’ve been tired of city living, but you managed to capture the beautiful sights and moments of peace that can be found there! Ingenious photographic choices Cindy. I look forward to seeing what you come up with in Africa! 🙂
Yes, cities are places that are fun to visit, but for me not fun to live in. I like the wild things too much. Last time in Africa I never saw a leopard. Fingers crossed for this time, but not going for awhile yet~
Ah yes, you summed up my sentiments about cities as well! The more sky, animal and plant life I see, the better for my mental health.
Hope you have a leopard sighting too on your upcoming trip!
Yes, clearly I am so much happier where the wild things are! You and I have a lot in common~
Wow these are incredible Cindy! Wonderful angles.
Oh, so happy you like them & cheers~
Spectacular photos of reflexions!
So kind & so appreciated!
Wonderful architecture, but Holler takes the prize!
Thank you my friend. It depends what a person likes. In terms of wide open spaces, The Holler can’t be beat!
Outstanding photos.
Mil grazi~
You are welcome.
Amazing pictures, Cindy. What an artist you are 🙂 Pawkisses for an Enjoyable Monday 🙂 <3
Back 2 U X 2!
Cindy these are amazing captures… brilliant…
Awwww, so thoughtful~
Wonderfully creative capture to start the month! Beautiful!
I am very pleased you enjoyed & cheers to you~
Beautiful, beautiful reflections in thought and image, Cindy. What is the green turf building in Vancouver?
We need to ask Rebecca (clanmother). I think we came through it. Maybe a cruise terminal?
It’s very good to see anyway.
Wow! First image reminded me of DNA molecule!
Did you take all these images personally?
Oh, how clever! I never thought of that, but I see it clearly the spiral strands, of course! And yes I take all my blog pics. Thanks for seeing this in a different way~
Well, as a medico, that’s the first thing that crossed my mind. So you can call your pic a Rorschach test!
Ur most welcome. You are a fantastic photographer artist!
If it’s a Rorschach, and most photos are, then your results are pretty stellar (I am a therapist afterall). You see the building blocks of life and now I see it too. You passed your rorschach in flying strands of DNA…..
The orange sky of those two bottom photos is breathtaking! I can only imagine how bright it looked in person.
Holler sunsets actually look better in person than in a photograph because they are in such a wide and tall panorama. So happy you enjoyed~
I like watching photographers extend themselves to new subjects and themes. Love the first one in particular, C.
Thank you. Buenos Aires is a photographers dream. Actually all of Argentina is~
That first shot is incredible Cindy, but then all of them are pretty special.
The first shot is an art museum in Buenos Aires. The architect of that museum was brilliant. The inside was just as interesting~
Oh how I enjoyed all of these photos, Cindy (especially the first one); and I really appreciate the theme. 🙂
So glad you do & cheers too!
Glorious light, color and line.
The architects are pretty clever aren’t they! Their buildings reflect the changing world around them. How cool is that!
They are rather brilliant and otherworldly.
All of the architectural reflections are very interesting, Cindy, but I much prefer the “Holler” sunsets. They’re interesting, ….and beautiful to boot !!! 🙂
Good ol Holler it’s good to be home! You must be home now too……
Yeah, home again, but not too happy with the way Mother Nature greeted us… Winter storm, 15in of snow, 6deg, and 25-30mph winds. Oh, well…, it’s just life in the Great Lakes. Really starting to think of FL as a permanent home address !
I can fully understand and based on how harsh your winters are, I think that sounds like quite a reasonable idea. Stay warm and safe cuz~
Splendid! What many photographs!
I am a big admirer of your photography too!
Fabulous!
Be Bettr, Stay Bettr! 🙂
Swetank.
Thanks much and I will!
Shots one, four, and five take my breath away, Cindy. That is not to say that they are not all spectacular though. I absolutely love that first take with the spiral stair reflecting back against itself. You have a terrific eye for photography. 🙂
And you are terrific blogging friend. Thank you for these nice sentiments~
My pleasure always, Cindy. My links are still a bit messed up, but I try to make it a point to check out your posts as they are always phenomenal.
Wow Cindy! These are gorgeous architectural photographs. I love them! 😀
Merci beaucoup mon ami~
Reflections always make for interesting photographs, Cindy. The stairway was really impressive. It’s hard to beat the Holler, however. –Curt
Thanks much Curt. Hard to top one’s home, wherever it is~
Especially if you have all of the great views you and I do. 🙂 –C
That doesn’t hurt. does it!
Amazing photography, what a fabulous blog!
Awwww, people like you keep me blogging! Thank you~
I think I recognize the bottom two photos. Does that mean you are home again? Have the coyotes formed a coalition and taken over in your absence? I would hate to find those bad boys peeping through my windows in the moonlight. I imagine that banging pot lids together would disturb the coy-boys more than the wa.
How awful would even a small EQ be with all that glass? Vancouver should know better. But then, YIKES!! Victoria dumps raw sewage. A modern city. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=5&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CEAQFjAE&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.theglobeandmail.com%2Fnews%2Fbritish-columbia%2Fvictoria-sewer-dispute-hits-the-fan-as-washington-state-urges-bc-intervene%2Farticle19131685%2F&ei=PKXRVMX5KoKXgwSVyYLQBA&usg=AFQjCNGWgq18B_VpSqzyFEoSjsT5as_4IA&sig2=IYBRmvTRblp2b1JtYx7EIg&bvm=bv.85076809,d.eXY
Beautiful photos. Such beautiful reflections of your gorgeous inner vision, especially the sunsets. Welcome home.
Ohhhhh, what heart warming thoughts my friend. People like you make blogging a priority for me. I am so grateful to have gotten a chance to know you. Gratitude and friendship are flying to you. I know you can feel it~
Oh Cindy I would settle for the Holler and those glorious sunsets every time. Great to go exploring and it certainly is mind opening to see the rest of the world but it must give you an inner peace to know that lovely place will be waiting to enfold you back into it’s heart when you return…
I have such beautiful and remarkable blogging friends, like you. We “get” each other and that is such a joy.
Hi Cindy Magically done. Thank you so much for liking my poem ‘ Iron Gates!’ Peace and Best Wishes. The Foureyed Poet.
No thanks necessary. I love your poetry~
Your blog has taken flight to new frontiers of inspiration:
http://litebeing.com/2015/02/04/grace-with-wings/
You are a wonderful blogger and friend Linda. I am lucky to have you in my life. Congrats on your most deserved award! <3
More beautiful locations and your pictures are awesome. I do hope all is well on your side of the world.
Chugging along nicely over here. Was at your blog today and trust all is right with you my friend. You are one busy woman~
Cindy, like my grandmother, I am not letting any grass grow under my feet! All is well and wishing the same for you.
<3
Always – Exquisite.
Awwwww Sheri, you are a good friend~
It’s a case of where does all the time go. I’m positive there must have been more hours in the day in years gone by. If I had my way, I’d see every blog along with quite conversation sprinkled in here and there.
Yes, more hours in the day to read more blogs!!! I’ll sign the petition! I am fully addicted to reading blogs~
Einfach wunderschöne Fotos wünsche dir einen glücklichen schönen Tag lieber Gruß und Freundschaft Gislinde
Guten Tag und Vielen dank Gislinde~ <3
super toll, mache es gut, Klaus
Sehr nett und zu schatzen! Danke schoen~
These are magnificent reflections, Cindy! Breathtaking sunset capture! New heights for reflection photography.
You are just such a nice person Amy. I am living, practicsing and learning~
The beautify of nature that you have brought to me through your blog has taught me to be a better person. Thanks to you, Cindy! <3
Oh, Amy getting a chance to know people like you, is why I blog. Hugz to you my kind friend~ <3
Great images!!!
Mil grazi!
These are nice..you don’t take bad shots. But I’m really preferring your amazing close-ups of tiny things! Ha.
This is so weird, I was just over listening to you do the Allman Brothers guitar riff. Really liked it…..I like the tiny creatures best too!
Great photos and the city shots remind me of London and it’s modern architecture 🙂
Yes which Prince Charles so dislikes. I understand and share his dislike in a beautiful old city like London, but in cities with more modern architecture, like Vancouver, I really love the reflecting effect~
Yes but not all of London is old! There are some lovely modern bits! I shall have to post some examples I do think!
We get some great reflecting effects too though I may not capture them as well as you 🙂
I think you should! I will be there in May so I would love to see before I leave. I was thinking about this as I replied to your comment. I like the modern glass buildings, even in old European Cities, if the old towns are separated from the new towns as they often are. You can visit the old city centers, where I usually choose to stay, and pass through the new modern parts, going from say 1200 to 2015! This is something we don’t really have in the US.
I have found myself on several instances wanting to just stand and watch the reflection off glass buildings but never had the opportunity to enjoy the moment. Thank you for these photos, Cindy!
I hope to do it more as I travel. I find the reflections so interesting and you are right, it does cause you to pause and enjoy the moment~
That’s a LOT of glass! Great pictures, Cindy!
Different from what I normally shoot, but I am very happy you like them & cheers to you~
Dazzling architectural images with incredible upward perspective and gorgeous geometrical shapes and lines!Great angles and sharpness;I also loved the sunset sceneries with the fiery illusionary skies!Cheers to you too 🙂
Awwww, you are such a wonderful blogging friend. People like you are the reason I blog. Hugs & gratitude~
I feel like I may have already mentioned this, but I loved the title of your post. I feel it encompasses much of what you photograph and write about, too. I also enjoyed all the reflections on the buildings and water. I took a very similar photograph up at my Mom’s in Cleveland from her balcony at her Senior Apts. of a sunset with rosy, magenta, golden and purple tones displayed. It is so unusual or interesting to think it may have been a similar sky. It was on February 6, 2015. Small world and yet, lovely that we all share it together. Thanks for your special comments on my cat poem/attempt! smiles!
“Small world and yet, lovely that we all share it together.” Such beautiful sentiments my friend! Thank you for being you! <3 <3
awesome pictures
So kind of you Tanveer & so appreciated! Be well my friend~
my pleasure dear friend, God bless you
And you! <3

Estou impressionada com essas fotos! Um outro lado seu… As fotos são completamente urbanas e igualmente belas! Parabéns!
Voce e um amiga lindo! Obrigada e abraços amiga! <3 <3
