What's in a Name?

M. P. - the photographer's initials.

Reflections - there are two major definitions of reflections.

The first is literal. Light bouncing off a reflective surface. These reflections are fascinating to photograph.

  These can be as straightforward as a mountain reflecting in a lake, Moraine Lake, Alberta, Canada
  Carousel in a mirror

or curved, like this carousel mirror,

  or slightly impressionistic, like this cafe reflected in a stream, Reflection of a cafe, L'Isle sur la Sorque, France
  Little River, TN

or as abstract as autumn leaves reflecting in moving water.

  Reflections can fool the eye: Are these grasses floating in the clouds? Grasses and clouds
  Canadian geese, Vermillion Lakes, Canada

Is this image upside down?

  How did these clouds get into the restaurant's window? Clouds in a window, Montreal, Canada

But reflection has a second major definition: to contemplate.

  Whether it's the serenity of a winter snowfall, Snow and trees, Banff National Park, Canada
  Dead tree and storm clouds, Teton National Park

or the turmoil of a summer storm,

  or the wonder of renewal in early spring, Emergence, peony breaking ground
  Autumn leaves, Santa Fe National Forest, NM

or the colorful ending to the growing season that autumn provides,

  or the fact that, in the 21st century, a wooden broom is still the most efficient way to clean the piazzas of Venice, Streetsweeper's broom, Venice, Italy
The Wave, Coyote Buttes Wilderness Area, AZ
or the forces of nature required to twist layers of sandstone like it was ribbons of taffy,
  or the vision and dedication of the architects of the magnificient cathedrals of Europe which they designed, knowing that they would never see them completed. Notre Dame de Paris, Paris, France

The photos on this website reveal some of the photographer's reflections on the world around us.
