Reflections fascinate me. They reflect back the world around us and often turn otherwise ordinary objects into things of interest, if not beauty..

The blue sky and clouds reflected in a downtown Reno building..
I was walking along the street and happened to glance up at the windows that slanted out, above the street. I rather liked the reflections I saw...
A thunderstorm moving over the top of the Grand Sierra Resort. Clouds are also reflected in the amber windows or the hotel tower..
As a bonus ...my friend Lori snapped this with her camera phone. She happened to glance out the door of her office and saw this cloud which is in the shape of a question mark. I'm not sure how to enlarge it, but you can see the shape of it. Unfortunately it had dispersed by the time she figured out the zoom function ..
I've never seen a cloud in this shape before. Perhaps it was the cloud gods asking 'What's up with the weather lately??' :-)
*UPDATE*
Thank you to Maria at CALM ENERGY or enlarging and sharpening the photo for me..
Go to SKYWATCH for views of the sky from all over the world !
I love looking at what's reflected on the now many glass buildings.

Reflections can alter perceptions and intensify experiences. I enjoyed your post.

ReplyDeleteI enlarged the question mark cloud for you ... it's at the bottom of my blog... scroll all the way down
... I also used an HP program to sharpen it a little.

like reflections what a nice dramatic one that darker picture. That's indeed a lucky shot with the question mark
ReplyDeleteGreat reflections of the sky. And the question mark cloud is definitely a keeper.
ReplyDeleteLove the first photo!
ReplyDeleteAnd the ? cloud... could be 'someone' saying "Hey, two icons died today and are heading upwards, what's with that?????
*shrugging shoulders*
Ahhh weird.
Great series!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful reflection. :)
Great shots you have here Karen. I love that sky view through the building and i love the dreamy look with the thunderstorm.

Karen, those are great cloud formation. Reflections always fascinates me. And I saw that little question mark cloud.Enjoy your weekend!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous reflections off the building!
ReplyDeleteThose are all wonderful reflections. I love looking at reflections in buildings too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful reflections. I really love the first two.
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I saw when looking at that cloud was a hot air balloon. I love the window photo with the reflections. I've been out of town so couldn't thank you for your visit to my Camera Critter blog until now.

ReplyDeleteI love your collection.
ReplyDeleteNr 1 and 3 are gorgeous finds.
And the question mark is just awesome :)!
Maybe the question mark was done by a plane, sky writing?
ReplyDeleteI love the reflections in the glass, beautiful.

I agree, reflections are fun! I've been thinking about them a lot lately. Thanks for visiting :) I especially liked your second one.
ReplyDeleteThe reflections in the glass are spectacular, but the question mark cloud is the most unusual skywatch I've seen.

ReplyDeleteThanks for your green balloons! You might be right about the white balloon: it's a spying instrument to see what is going on in the bedroom! Ha, ha.. lol.
What nice reflections! The storm shot is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteAnd, that question mark is great.
That's funny, how the cloud was shaped that way. =) Nice photos.
ReplyDeleteThe question mark cloud certainly is curious (pun intended.) Great reflections, too!
