After I was done grocery shopping on that
rainy morning, I looked around for reflections in the wet pavement of the shopping center parking lot. I particularly liked the colors in this first reflection. I thought it was neat how the red and blue hues of the "open" sign blended into a purple mark on the ground.
Next, a reflection of magenta bougainvilleas and a yellow pole caught my eye:
Then, I was fascinated by this little vertical streak of light on the ground (in the center of the photo below).
The street lights weren't turned on so I didn't know where that light was coming from.
It turned out to be from sunlight bouncing off of windows on a house on the hill a mile away.

Great reflection images! The reflections in your first photo remind me of your post on "pixel magic." =) Such a vibrant red in the bougainvillea. The light bouncing off the house window looks strong enough to be a searchlight!

ReplyDeleteThose homes on the hill look great they remind me of some that are similar in Palm springs where they have space between them and what seems to be great views.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.
You have a pair of good eyes on the reflection. Some of them resemble rainbow.
ReplyDeleteI really love the multi-colored reflections! The rain added shimmer to the shots!

ReplyDeleteGreat reflections, that streak of light really is interesting. But the first shot is my favorite, great color and composition. Kathy
ReplyDeleteThe colours are so rich in the first two photos. And that streak of light is amazing for its far reaching intensity!
ReplyDeletePavement makes the perfect canvas for impressionist reflections. These are lovely. I also liked the way you tracked down the errant light rays.
