Weekly Photo Challenge: Reflections

Published by

March 23, 2014

Yesterday John, Ryan and I spent a fun few hours walking through Seattle Center, peering up at the Space Needle and meeting family for a play at the Seattle Children’s Theater. I took plenty of interesting reflecting photos with this challenge in mind and even though you’ll still get a chance to see a few of them over the next week I found my final image at the end of the day in a different part of town. We arrived a few minutes early for our dinner reservations at Tulio and John was nice enough to excuse me while I ran across the street to take as many pictures of the Seattle Public Library as I could before the sun set across Elliot Bay.

  I took it with my phone – It’s always in my pocket and ready for quick shots! Also, I ordered a Moscow Mule before dinner thinking it would be fun to take a photo but they did’t serve it in a fancy copper cup. 😦 It was tasty but not pretty enough for a picture… I’ll have to try again when we get together!

    A Moscow Mule NOT served in a copper cup??? Sacrilege! They should be ashamed for even calling it a Moscow Mule! 🙂
    
    We’ll have to source a joint that serves them more authentically when I make it out your way.
    
    ***Or — come to Toronto! There are a couple of very cool bars here, including one Russian-inspired one, where I’m sure we can get the real deal.

    I know, I was so surprised to see it in a regular clear glass. 😦 A trip to Toronto would sure be fun! If I ever have plans out your way I’ll definitely let you know!

The library is one of those buildings where you can get some great, disorienting reflective shots. Love finding those!

    What is it about the reader? so often I miss peoples’ posts! Argh… Luckily I have you sent to my inbox ;). This is a terrific shot of an amazing subject. The flash of red coat in the reflection makes the shot!

Such a great shot fort this week’s theme. Love all the angles, and the reflections do come out very clear cut. It’s almost as if the patch of grass is inclining upwards 🙂

Beautiful reflection shot. The Seattle Library – made famous by Nancy Pearl – at least that’s what comes to mind. The architecture of the central library is really interesting.
