Zen

A contemplative (indeed, reflective) scene in the Japanese Garden in Toulouse.

Across The Forth

You may think that this image of the Firth of Forth was captured at sunset. However, it was actually taken just before noon and is looking due south from the Fife village of Pittenweem towards East Lothian in the distance.

It’s all a matter, when shooting into the sun, of keeping the sun itself out of the image.

I think it certainly fits the brief for this week’s ‘Fun Foto’ theme of ‘water, water everywhere’.

Diffraction

Patterns of reflections and diffraction from a half-full (or should that be half-empty?) glass of water sitting on our dining table.

Tranquil reflections

A scene from the bustling metropolis that we call home and refer to as Tranquility Base. Our house lies behind these two, which are reflected in the village pond (étang).

The ripple – probably caused by one of the myriad frogs that colonise the pond – adds interest and helps to balance the image.

Frozen

During a cold snap back in February, the ice on this frozen puddle had an intriguing abstract appearance. It reminded me a little of a lady’s fancy bonnet.

52-Week Smartphone Challenge: 5 – Symmetry

Week 5 of Khurt’s 52-Week Smartphone Challenge has the theme of ‘symmetry’. Reflections are always a good place to start when seeking symmetry, and bodies of water are always a good place to find reflections.

This pond is just across the road, about a hundred feet from our front door. It was completely dry back in the summer, but it’s done very little except rain here since late August, so it’s now an impressive little body of water.
