Lens-Artists Challenge #354 Reflections

Anne is making us reflect…and our different reflections will be remarkable, I am sure! This is a much loved theme for photographers. There are so many ways to show reflections, and these are only some of my own favourites. Looking forward to seeing Yours!

My number one favourite was captured in Switzerland – the Fluela Pass. I have told the story many times…but here it is again: We drove out to a tiny little village, knowing we would pass this beautiful pass (!). We could not find the view along the road though, even if we had seen it in the guide books. Finally, on our way home, the sun stood in the right position and we stopped, overwhelmed, to take it all in. I can still feel it every time I look at this photo.

Water turning into ice is also a possibility for reflections. This is Totti walking on thin ice at Vedema. I still don’t know how he dared to…being just as afraid of water as a cat! Luckily he didn’t walk through the ice.

Buildings – I love those opportunities for reflections and possible fun distortions. This is in London, and I even got a red double decker in the picture.

Canoeing a silent morning at our summerhouse – the river doesn’t stop over there…it turns right beyond the trees. Herons usually fly up along the growing reed.

An old reflection of our first lagotto, Mille. He was patiently waiting indoors when we returned late from the sea.

A Yayoi Kusama exhibition in Copenhagen with multiple mirrors and holes to peep in through. My camera in the upper right corner!

A standing mirror in a dark room in a Danish castle.

At Vanås architecture park, you can walk on mirrors in one of the barns. Exhilarating – but some people just cannot do it…even I had to brace myself.

An installation of mirrors in Copenhagen. (Really, one of me is quite enough…)

Another old favourite of mine, taken in Beijing many years ago. I photographed a lantern in the street – and the result turned out like this.

In the opener is a whole block of houses covered in fragments of glass. Tough to look at in sunlight, but very special. Finally a favourite from a botanical garden with giant waterlily pads.

Many thanks to Anne for giving us an opportunity to enjoy the most lovely reflections. Be sure to visit her original challenge post here, and to use the Lens-Artists Tag in your response to help us find you. Thanks also to Beth for her first challenge as a Lens-Artists team member, and to all those who responded with amazing, stormy scenes. Finally, I hope you’ll join us next week when I, Leya/Ann-Christine, will lead – this time with a new Lens-Artists ”look-back” which we’ll be using again from time to time. Until then as always please stay safe, be kind and enjoy the good things in life!

  1. Beautiful collection, Ann-Christine! Your photo of walking on the mirror reminded me of a museum I once visited that had a ”bridge” in a tunnel. The tunnel was reflective, as was the floor. They topped it off by slightly shaking the floor of the bridge. It was truly scary.

  2. Darling, you are a complete inspiration. How to choose a favourite from these? I love every one of them, Ann-Christine. Maybe the exhibition because I haven’t seen it before and I love the child’s face, but… xx

  3. A wonderful gallery of reflections Ann-Christine 😀 I really like the Fluela Pass, the Yayoi Kusama exhibition in Copenhagen and the mirrors would be hard to walk on for sure

  4. Ann-Christine, these images are beautiful and fun. They invite the viewer to spend lots of time diving in. I loved the mirror exhibit and also the mirror on the floor. I think I’d be nervous walking on the mirror, too.

  5. Not surprisingly, a spectacular set Ann-Christine. So many favorites and I’m especially happy you told us about the first image because I simply couldn’t figure it out! Your closing image is perfection but all are wonderful.
