Steeple in a Puddle


The sun is back but the puddles are still here...reflecting the steeple of Menton's Basilica.

Le soleil est de retour, mais les flaques d'eau sont toujours là ... qui reflètent le clocher de la Basilique de Menton.

  10. I am not sure what it is about a reflection shot that makes them so attractive. Maybe it's the composition, maybe the sense that you are seeing a bonus view in addition to looking at the subject directly. Whatever it is, yours is a good illustration of what makes reflections shots so pleasing.

  12. Wow! Save this one for the next photo show in Menton, Jilly. The basilica tower is Menton's icon.

  14. Thanks for the kind comments, everyone. Have to say people look at you very strangely when you walk along looking in puddles and moving about to get the shot right!
