Reflections!

Observations
I fully intended to capture only the lower half of this window. With a little cropping it would be just perfect. The box is attached to a historic building which has been converted into a jewelry store on the first level and an apartment on the second! Handsomely accessorized with a distinct carved wooden door, painted in a rich black high gloss, bejeweled with shiny brass hardware securing the content of the building. A show stopper for sure! 
It was the reflection of the gas lantern that caught my attention first, how very cool is that, I thought. The buildings behind the gas lantern a definite wow, then low and behold, there I was, ME, in the lower left windowpane, clicking away! 
Moral of the story: observe and be careful of what you publish, one could definitely incriminate one's self! 
Have a wonderful day!

Before The Rain!

Before The Rain

"There is music wherever there is harmony, order, or proportion."~Thomas Browne~

Can you hear the music, feel the harmony, sense the order all of which is working in the correct proportion in this photo? There are days when one is glad to have had their camera in hand when a scene like the one above presents itself. 

The clouds hung low, air warm with a hint of brisk, the sea smelled as a seashore should, calmness lent itself into taking in as much fresh air as one possibly could! 
Just an all great day to be alive and fortunate enough to experience it. 
It has been pouring here for three straight days, very intense at times. Rain, rain, go away come again some other day! Rose needs to go out and play! Corny yes, but my camera is getting restless! 
Have a wonderful day!
