Reflections in the pond

Houses, trees, sky and street furniture are reflected in a pond in Lisbon.

Near the Igreja Paroquial da Graça in Lisbon, I found a small pond that had a lovely reflection.

The Port of Cork

The sign saying "PORT OF CORK" displayed on the middle island of the city, visible to any boats coming up the river from the harbour. The supports of the sign are reflected in a puddle, as are the lights and nearby building. The Cork skyline is visible in the background of this sunset photo.

The PORT OF CORK sign welcomes any boat coming into the city, but it’s probably on borrowed time if development continues in this area on Custom House Quay.

I made this from 3 separate images because I forgot I had my wide-angle lens in my camera bag. I was out with friends from Blarney Photography Club photographing the city. Here’s a post with more photos!

The Atlantic Pond in Reflection

Trees are reflected in the water of the Atlantic Pond in Cork. The water is very still, and a clear blue sky is unblemished by clouds.

I love walking by the Marina and sometimes walking around the Atlantic Pond. Most of the water was deliciously calm this afternoon when I visited.

The Idle Hour on Albert Quay

Various buildings on Albert Quay in Cork are reflected in the River Lee one early morning just after sunrise when the sky is coloured by the rising the sun.

Well, the Idle Hour, Navigation Square, 1 Albert Quay and the other pubs along Victoria Road.

This was taken one morning early, just after the sun rose. I’ve taken this photo a few times over the years and I love the reflection in the River Lee, at high tide, like the buildings are floating at sea.

A haven for blue in Kinsale

Feeling Slightly Disjointed

A couple look at themselves in the angled mirror facade of a building in Paris. Their legs are separated from their torsos by the reflection.

The mirrors of 123 Champs-Élysées reflect a broken view of the world, making passers-by smile and laugh.

A selfie with the Eiffel Tower

A young woman poses for a selfie in front of the Eiffel Tower as it is all lit up. Other people are sitting down nearby. The Eiffel Tower is reflected in the waters of the Fontaine du Jardin du Trocadéro.

Flooding in Fitzgerald Park

Fitzgerald Park in Cork City is a bit flooded after the recent rain. The children’s play area is totally flooded, as it’s lower than the surrounding ground, and the pond is overflowing onto the surrounding path.

They were waiting for the River Lee to overflow about an hour later!

Eiffel Tower Reflection in Grand Palais Éphémère

The Eiffel Tower reflected in the windows of the Grand Palais Éphémère in Paris. The sky is clear and sun has set creating a yellow glow on the horizon. People are seen in the foreground watching the tower.

So many people gathered to watch the Eiffel Tower in Paris, but if they looked behind them, they’d see this magnificent reflection of the Tower.

The Grand Palais Éphémère was empty and dark when I was there, so it reflected perfectly the Eiffel Tower in its windows.

I have to admit, the last time I was in Paris, some 23 years ago, I don’t remember the Grand Palais Éphémère being there at all, but back then I didn’t have the equipment or skill to take a photo like this anyway, and never thought to visit the Eiffel Tower in the evening! It wasn’t in the guide book!
