Today's Picture to Ponder Photos
Window Glass Reflections of an office building and the natural environment that embraces it

I had an appointment here a few months ago and was fascinated with all the different perspectives in the glass. I thus got my camera out of the car to record some of what I was seeing.

In the top photo I find fascinating all of the diagonals seeming to converge into one point and then many. It has the feeling of an infinite connection, rather indefinable, though certainly a possible subject for a lot of different writing topics.

I like the middle photo because it brings the outside in more clearly and, at first, has a simpler feeling.

The bottom photo at first glance appeared to be the simplest of the three. It seemed that I was standing inside the building looking out the window. After a moment or two, I began to query what a tank would be doing on the inside of a building.

As I studied the picture further, and it took a while, I FINALLY realized that I WAS on the outside! What I was seeing were reflections of the plantings behind me.

(For more reflections in glass, see some of my photos of uploaded to FlickR, including 3 Layers Reflected in a framed photo/drawing.)

Self-Reflecting Queries
My mind has been going in a lot of different directions as I pondered what I could write about these reflections. The thoughts are as infinite and bouncing as the reflections are.

Because I must complete today's issue now, I am leaving the queries to you, with one suggested starting point.

In whom, or where, do you see yourself most reflected? Can you see the extension of that in your world or other people's worlds? How far and wide does this go?

I also invite you to have some fun and play with reflections. You might simply take a glass with some water in it and put an interesting object or two behind it. Then look at both from many perspectives, from above and through the different parts of the glass.
