Reflections

Looking up... or maybe down.


Taken on a clear but very cold December day. I saw that this fountain was full of old autumn leaves. The fountain was also switched off so the surface of the still water was like a mirror, reflecting the lightly clouded sky. The shadow that was cast by the fountain's figure and her podium cut through this mirror like some sort of keyhole and made the leaves in the bottom of the fountain much more visible. My eye was initially drawn to the stillness of the leaves under the water, but when I flipped the image vertically it looked like I had taken a double exposure of the fountain at eye level and some autumnal leaves.
