This week’s theme is reflections, and though the concept can be more esoteric, reflecting on life, the universe, and everything else, I’m sticking with the more literal sense. Mainly because one of the things I love to photograph are reflections of the city in the surrounding windows. It’s a fun way to look at the city from a slightly different perspective.
The sun was shining brightly yesterday and as I walked down Voetiusstraat to take a peek at the Domplein now that the construction tenting is gone, I found myself irresistibly drawn to the reflection of the classic Dutch buildings in the large window. The name on the window made the image look something like opening credits of a film (or an annoying watermark). I also like how the beams in the ceiling draw the eye into the image. Plus, I just love a good arch, especially with a stand-out keystone.
Reeeeeaaaally cool image.
Thanks! It’s a great city for these kinds of shots.
Yes, I can’t wait to visit someday.
Shane took the words right out of my mouth. 🙂 Yes, reeeeeaaaallly cool. 😀
Thanks for the compliment and for visiting!
I also love those old Dutch buildings reflected in windows. Your pictures make the window look like it’s in fact a portal into this slightly wavy, reflected world – enchanting really!
Thank you! I do like to think of them as portals to alternative realities or to go back in time. 🙂
