Wow Mike... looks like the easter bunny came early! That has got to be the weirdest sculpture I've seen.

Well seeing as though I haven't been taking part in these regularly, I made the effort to get out nice and early this morning to specifically take a photo for this challenge! Yay! I got the sunrise over the ocean (well it's sorta behind a mountain, but anyway.)

This is an artificial lagoon we created near the centre of the city, because we don't actually have a beach here, and all the tourists were chucking hissy fits coz there was no beach,,, so we built one with this really cool art all around it. One example here is those giant fish things.

Awww and some pelicans I saw as soon as I got there. Yeah... look at our sexy mudflats. Don't you just wanna swim! hehhe.

Hi John

I love the shot of the little girl at the window. If been looking at it for ages and can't make up my mind whether she is feeling sad and reflective ('scuse the terrible pun!) or if she is looking at something (the more likely explanation).

I find it a very hypnotic shot for those reasons.

Sarah,

Thanks for the comments. The photo is of my daughter taken at the zoo. She was looking down at one of the animals when I snapped this shot.

This was a bit of a hack job in PS, but I'll post it anyway. Maybe one of these days I'll do more work on it.

OK.

Just under the wire for the week.

Its almost 12:00.

This a pic I took this past Halloween. I was fairly drunk but it took a long time and half a roll of flm to get this lined up right.

The picture in the frame is a TV shot form the movie Delicatessen.

And just for good measure , here's one from NYC I've showed before but it fits the theme.
Its PS adjusted but not chopped.

At last I have access to a computer and the internet again. I was "incomunicado", so to speak, from Wednesday of last week till today. Hmph...

Anyhow, I worked a little last week and can now finally show my results for the last challenge. All the reflections I could find:

Like these on my cousin's artificial pond in his garden.

Or these two big puddles on the road after a heavy shower in my home-town (where I was these past couple of days)

Or here: the reflected multi-storey car park or the video and DVD rental - plus myself and daughter :blushing:

- in the glass front of a modern shop extension to an old shop in my home town.

This one shows the "Tell Arab" and its reflection in the lake in an open air museum near Nijmegen in the Netherlands, just across the border, which depicts the housing and living situation of people in the Holy Land at the time of the stories in the Bible.

Best of all, so I think, is this, though, a multiple self-portrait in water droplets on a sort of laquered carton, discarded, after some rain:
