I took this picture a few days ago (Apr. 23/08) in Nathan Phillips Square (the City Hall Square) here in Toronto. The Square has a large pool, which is used as a skating rink in winter and as a reflecting pool in summer. In between those two season, as now, it is simply empty. In the morning of the day I took this shot, it rained for a while. However, by the time I got there in the afternoon, the rain was well over, but several huge puddles remained in the otherwise empty pool. The building reflected in the pool is Toronto’s Old City Hall. (The well known new one is on another side of the square.) The boy in the image had been playing in the pool with 2 other youngsters. They were running about and often stopping to pose and look at their reflections in the puddles. Then, for some reason, the boy decided to sit down in the pool for a few minutes. I grabbed the opportunity to take this photo.
“A Moment of Silence” Looking East From Picture Lake Into North Cascades National Park, Washington. The day I went up to Picture Lake to take this photo, it was extremely windy. I thought my day was wasted as I really wanted to capture the reflections of Mount Shuksan. When I got my camera set up for the shoot, the wind subsided and the resulting picture was taken. When I finished the shoot, the wind started up again and the reflections disappeared. That was a lucky day for me…....Lynn This photo was featured in two groups…Western US Artists and Photographers and Mountains and Light /

I left the office early, hoping to catch glimpse of a large elk herd spending the winter near town. They weren’t about, so I went for a drive and came across this scene, which I like better than the pictures I might have gotten of elk, anyway. Who needs nature when you have reflective cabooses?
Loch of the Lowes lies in the beautiful scottish borders between Moffat and Selkirk. It flows into nearby St Mary’s loch (with its thriving sailing club) past old Tibbieshiels inn, hostelry and overnight stop for walkers on the southern upland way crossing Scotland. Overlooking the north end of the loch is a monument to James Hogg – the Scottish Poet known as the Ettrick Shepherd, friend and contemporary of Sir Walter Scott. Taken 4/3/08 (untouched) with a pocket fuji finepix A500 (There is a 2nd loch of the lowes further north in Perthshire, complete with osprey viewing centre – but you can see the wonderful fish eagle hunting here too if you are lucky!) My first ever feature on the home page ages on 23rd April 2008 and what a party that was…LOL See also : ‘i am a rock’ and ‘LoL’ loch of the lowes

fascinating light reflexes on the impressive spans of the First Sreet bridge. The magical morning light is bouncing off the clear, smooth waters of Barton Springs Creek in Texas’ Capitol City, Austin and the resulting reflections are nothing short of magical – photographed July 4, 2008.

The panorama you get to see there is amazing, especially with the Zugspitze looming above the lake.

Autumn Gold Colours / Reflections of Beauty / Clouds and Sky Reflections on the pure pristine waters of Chena River Lakes Park and Recreational Area / Alaska North Star Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Featured Art 15 June 2009 Descriptions On Silence and Talking / We Indians know about silence. We aren’t afraid of it. In fact, to us it is more powerful than words. Our elders were schooled in the ways of silence, and they passed that along to us. Watch, listen, and then act, they told us. This is the way to live. Watch the animals to see how they care for their young. Watch the elders to see how they behave. Watch the white man to see what he wants. Always watch first, with a still heart and mind, then you will learn. When you have watched enough, then you can act. With you it’s the opposite. You learn by talking. You reward the kids who talk the most in school. At your parties everyone is trying to talk. In your work you are always having meetings where everyone interrupts everyone else, and everyone talks five, ten, or a hundred times. You say it is ‘working out a problem’. When you are in a room and it is quiet you get nervous. You have to fill the space with sound. So you talk right away, before you even know what you are going to say. White people like to argue. They don’t even let each other finish sentences. They are always interrupting. To Indians this is very disrespectful and even very stupid. If you start talking, I’m not going to interrupt you. I will listen. Maybe I will stop listening if I don’t like what you are saying. But I won’t interrupt you. When you are done I will make my decision on what you said, but I won’t tell you if I disagree with you unless it is important. Otherwise I will just be quiet and go away. You have told me what I need to know. There is nothing more to say. But this isn’t enough for most white people. People should think of their words like seeds. They should plant them, then let them grow in silence. Our old people taught us that the earth is always speaking to us, but that we have to be silent to hear her. / There are lots of voices besides ours.

This beauty was responding to someone who brought a bag of bread. I took advantage of the situation.
What a beautiful day this was. I took this on October 26th in Rockaway, New Jersey.
