You're right--I don't believe I've taken part in the challenge before. I guess the point would have been to go off and find a reflection, but it's just that I logged on and saw that the challenge was "Reflections" and that's exactly what I had been photographing that morning. It was completely still, no breeze at all, and the ponds were glassy. The line you see is either what we would call a dike or else it might be the road into the park. We're on a Fraser river delta island here, and there are dikes (or levees) all over, used for walking and biking. The picture was taken at Iona Beach Park, a bird sanctuary which is in a major migration path, so a great place for birding.
I very much enjoyed all the different interpretations of the challenge.

There were plenty of reflections last night on Sydney harbour as the Opera House was floodlit in red and fireworks a plenty going off over it. It was all part of Chinese New Year celebrations which kicked off in Sydney last night. It is the year of the rooster.  |

We have the same situation here. Levees are being "fixed up" to be used as walking/biking trails.

Great job capturing those reflections! |

Like this one a lot. Good compositional use of the rule of thirds. Also projects a somber mood, which I like. Just a note to Sepiana and the gang... I'm still around and still watching the threads. I haven't been participating because I lack seasonal inspiration. Winter around here tends to be gray and brown with flat light - just about the worst for photography. Add in cold and windy and my camera usually gets a long rest during winter. Next week is supposed be pretty nice, so maybe I can get out and look around for something. |

The things we have in our homes are reflections of ourselves. In the quest for a nut and bolt, I was wondering why, after 20+ years, I'm holding onto a bucket of bolts and nuts that belonged to my father, don't match and have never been of much use to me. I've decided it is time for it to go...  _DSC2020.jpg by , on Flickr |

Looking forward to your participation in the upcoming WP challenges.
I sympathize with you. Our winter has been nothing but lots of rain, damp cold, and dreary days. Where is the sun?

Similar situation in our home -- 20+ years of keeping a container full of bolts and nuts that belonged to my father-in law and which have been hardly put to good use.

This is late so it doesn't count, but I FINALLY got a reflection photo that I like. Taken from the bus.  Thanks Sepiana. It's supposed to turn back into winter in the next couple days, so hopefully my 'cold' photo will be more timely. |

Bill, better late than never. This is an image worth waiting for. What a capture! Reflection + motion = an amazing image!

Sargenta1 - Great interpretation of the theme. I have a very old fruit cake container of nuts, bolts, and screws which I "inherited" it from my grandfather. He was a farmer and did all his own fix-it work. Haven't used them but they remind me of him.
