Very cool. Where is this taken? I love reflections pictures of nature and am just starting to take them myself. Wish I had more time to just drive around and find some cool places to take them though.
Cathleen Taraw...
Hi Aubrey, it was taken at Kawhia on the east coast of the North Island, New Zealand. It was my first go at sunset/sunrise shots so I’m really pleased everyones loving them. Yippee!

Adela Hriscu
Interesting idea, looks very special!
Elaine van Dyk
“Twice as Nice”, that’s for sure! This is a mindblowing image. Sort of confuses my mind a little because of the upside down repetition of the sky, and it really makes me look carefully to see exactly where the horizon line is. I love those icy-white/blue clouds all bunched up together in what appears to be an otherwise infinite clear, blue sky! Lovely work, Cathleen.
Cathleen Taraw...
Hi, thanks Whirligig, Marina and Adela. I’m really glad you like it.
