    Two very powerful images. The reflections have more life and color than the "real" thing. Hmmm

    Happy New Year.

    Delightful VP. Nice to view your beautiful photos once again. I think we're coming to the place where I can start blogging and commenting on a fairly regular basis...

    Missed you and my other friends a lot!

    That bottom image is mind-boggling VP. The possibility for carnage as those boats step on the peddle - or whatever one does with boats!

    Wonderful reflections. Both of them.

    The new fortress does not look very new. I wonder for how many years people have been calling it "new."

    It's lovely the way reflections allow the lines of a picture to dive off in all directions.

    These are very beautiful buildings - quite unlike anything I see in my daily life.

    These really are mirrors. It must have been a very still day. You could almost flip them over.

    Your reflections are beautiful, VP. The canals are perfect for making double images of your very pretty city.

    The reflections are so perfect that you could turn the picture around and it would look the same, lol !

    Supesuper reflections.
    You know you could flip then and except for the boats being upside down (and I bet no one would realize) you could fool us all. MB

    Wonderful reflection photos and the colors are so cheerful. I especially like the boats in the shadow in the "New Fortress" one (and also wonder about that "new" designation!) with the white building above and below.
