Shadows and Refelctions II - Underwater

This was taken on the Promenade in Nice after a rainstorm. There was a large puddle which allowed me to take this photo which is almost entirely a reflection of the subject. I rarely take 'posed' pictures but I like this one.

Beauty is a primeval phenomenon, which itself never makes its appearance, but the reflection of which is visible in a thousand different utterances of the creative mind, and is as various as nature herself.

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Shadows and Reflections I - The Runner

This is the first picture from a project I have been working on. This was taken from my balcony, quite early in the morning during the Nice Demi Marathon

Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see.
