This week for the Lens-Artists Challenge, Anne invites us to focus on Reflections. She, and now many others, have shown us photos of astonishing beauty featuring the natural world. I thought I’d go down a different road, and look at distorted reflections.
I love the scene shown in the featured photo. It comes from Strasbourg, and features a mirror reflecting buildings from an unlovely part of town, then the home of lots of car parks and redevelopment.
This next one isn’t distorted exactly. But it is hard to read. It’s a pond landscape which to me looks like an expressive painting of … who knows?
I’m beside water for my next one too. The Leeds-Liverpool Canal. What’s different about this one is that it’s the water that reflects on the concrete above, rather than the other way about.
What next? A bit of a Rubik’s cube of images. I feel if you pushed these individual reflections-in-windows about, you might come up with complete pictures of the buildings reflected here.
And here we are in Zaragoza. Are we looking at the relics in the Roman Museum behind the glass, or the street outside’s buildings and trees?
And here’s a couple of images from London’s Gasholder estate.
And finally, an image from home that I’ve shown before, and will surely show again: I love it. Sunrise on Christmas Eve a few years ago.
