    1. 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.

  1. 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.

    1. 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.

  2. 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.”

      1. 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.

  3. 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!!

    1. 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~

    What a delightful image. Well imagined and caught! Vancouver, huh? One of my favorite places in the world! Sigh.

    1. 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….. 😉

  5. 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! 🙂

    1. 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~

      1. 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!

    1. 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~

      1. 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…..

  6. All of the architectural reflections are very interesting, Cindy, but I much prefer the “Holler” sunsets. They’re interesting, ….and beautiful to boot !!! 🙂

      1. 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 !

  7. 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. 🙂
