Adding a couple of "reflections"...
One, vintage aircraft reflected in the polished aluminum skin of another...
Light reflecting off water, can make for some cool photos.

Here, the sun slides slowly into the Gulf of Finland. In the high latitudes, the sun is moving at a very low angle to the horizon, and so the sunsets and sunrises last longer than they do in Houston. The "stuff" floating in the water is chunks of ice...it was pretty chilly.

Finland again, this time dawn, only a few birds moving around.

Even a truss bridge can look cool when nicely lit,
and with city lights reflecting off the water...

This is from my first trip to Toledo, Spain. My favorite part is the orange shoes of the kid who wouldn't get out of my shot. It was cool because I was standing by the reflecting pool, in cloudy weather, not realizing that it was a reflecting pool, until the sun briefly broke through the clouds and illuminated the church tower.

I went back to Toledo a couple of weeks ago,
on a much sunnier day, which makes a very different reflective photo.

Dawn in Haarlem, Netherlands. Not the sun this time, as it was behind thick clouds. This time it's much less romantic high-pressure sodium lights. They were on a photo cell, and switched off a few minutes later, but when the sun isn't cooperating, they make a pretty nice light on the water.

No matter what a city looks like in the daytime, it looks totally different at night,
especially if there is water to reflect the lights.

Of course, light reflecting off glass can be cool too. This is downtown Houston...just caught the clouds at the right moment...

This photo is by Jordan, while visiting Normandy. It's a display of the Invasion Gliders used by the Allies during the Normandy Invasion. There's a window across the front of the display which is reflecting the photographer and the trees behind her.
