Let the mind take its photograph ....
A Day in Autumn
"It will not always be like this,
The air windless, a few last
Leaves adding their decoration
To the trees’ shoulders, braiding the cuffs
Of the boughs with gold; a bird preening
In the lawn’s mirror. Having looked up
From the day’s chores, pause a minute,
Let the mind take its photograph
Of the bright scene, something to wear
Against the heart in the long cold."
~ R.S. Thomas, 1913 - 2000 ~

A shot to make any photographer jealous. Well, makes me envious...

@Bob - thank you for your support as always x
@Sunshines Uniques - thank you for your enthusiasm!
@Unbridled Expression - I appreciate this. I have found Falkirk a difficult place to capture on camera despite having interesting elements.
@mboogiedown - when I looked out on the way to the car park I thought it was surreal too - and stopped to take the shot regardless of the time limit on my paid-for parking ticket so thank you!
@Azorina - a real compliment from such a pro.
@Kym. - thank you so much.
@Foreign Imagery - I always try to match with words but sometimes it is hard, I'm glad you appreciate it.
@Lylla - thank you!
@mseidman - that is such a charming thing to say, thank you!

Lynn Morag (92 months ago | reply)
Just to say how kind you all are with your comments on this .... I was entranced by the layers of reflection and stopped to take the shot despite having already paid my parking fee and needing to get back to the car quickly.
SteveFE (92 months ago | reply)
An incredibly deep and interesting image; more than just a snapshot.

hayabusa* (91 months ago | reply)
I REALLY like this shot, it's an AWESOME example of reflection. I cant tell which was the reflection, you or the building!
And I also love how you use quotes from literary works.
ipythias (91 months ago | reply)
It's a great shot that keeps my eye moving and wondering/wandering.
The reflection the perspectives in distance all make for greatness.
And again great words to support.

Wow, the photograph reveals itself in layers! First you see the buildings, then the reflections slowly come into focus, and finally the photographer. Stunning work!
