As part of my work on Rust, Rubbish, and Reflections I have assembled my favorite Reflection pictures in one place. A large percentage of them are made in harbors, particularly in Victoria BC and Iceland. I love to go fishing boat harbors to find them, since boats in ordinary marinas are usually white. Others are made in streams, puddles, windows, the sides of cars, and so on.

Experience Music Project Corner

To get this shot I waited a couple of hours until the sun was in the perfect place to get reflections of both sides of this corner. It needs some study.
