Reflections on the South Bank. Suitably futuristic for the location, I thought.
Thanks for looking,
Moira

More of a 'Moonage Daydream' to me (just to keep the Bowie theme goingTongue).

I don't know if anyone has told them that a spacecraft is about to land WinkWink
A great collection of reflections and distortions within this very regular frame SmileSmile

We'll all be singing David Bowie all day. That's not good news for Bill...
Helen, thanks for noticing the 'regular frame', it's something that I enjoy finding. Crazy distortions under the discipline of glazing bars.
Thanks everyone, I'll be back later.

I like the reflections of clouds. They look like ether. And the ghostly figure.

You can never contain the sky in a reflection Moira it just keeps moving along as the wind takes it. It's always nice t see in these huge glass and metal structures, nature always wins for me I find.

Certainly very futuristic looking Moira, as usual your observation skills have paid handsome dividends.

Always been a Bowie fan Moira,
so you are no ABSOLUTE BEGINNER
with this SPACE ODDITY,and if Bill
does not like Bowie,then I reckon he
is a HEATHEN !!

Futuristic indeed! It looks like a spaceship (albeit from the 70s) is slowly flying past that pole on the left in the reflection Grin

Great crop, I am a big fan of well-done reflection shots and this is one of them... The blue is something special too - it would not work the same in black and white.

I echo all the comments above about colour/reflections/crop etc. But I would like to say that in my opinion the secret of this superb image is that you spotted the potential it had in the first place. You have a fabulous 'eye' for a photograph Moira.
kind regards,
Robin

A wonderful reflective image. Well done and well spotted Smile
