52Frames: Reflections- Psychedelic Bubble Mushrooms. The camera didn't like focusing on bubbles. I ended up with psychedelic bubbles missing their middles or bubble mushrooms launching into space.

Peace!

In this black-and-white photograph, two familiar symbols of Québec City meet in an unexpected dialogue. The image captures the reflection of the Château Frontenac, the city’s iconic castle-like hotel, upon the sleek, dark glass surface of a modern tour bus. The sharp turrets, medieval-inspired architecture, and heavy stone walls of the Château appear distorted yet unmistakable, bending slightly with the curvature of the glass. Their grandeur, usually towering against the skyline, here becomes a fleeting apparition, caught and reframed in the mirror-like surface of a vehicle designed for transience.
The photograph contrasts permanence and passage: the Château, centuries old, rooted in history, prestige, and identity; the bus, temporary, utilitarian, in constant movement, carrying visitors who come and go. The reflection transforms the architecture into something ephemeral, as if heritage itself were only borrowed for a moment, seen in passing, refracted through the lens of tourism. The bricks and turrets, normally firm and immovable, ripple faintly, reminding us that even stone can seem fluid when seen through the mirror of modernity.
At the edge of the reflection, surrounding buildings add layers, their darker silhouettes blending into the cloudy sky. Above, scaffolding or draped construction materials whisper of change and restoration, adding another contrast—heritage preserved and modernized. The composition thus becomes an allegory of Québec City itself: a place where old-world charm meets modern motion, where tourists arrive by the busload to capture fragments of a city defined by history, only to depart, leaving the Château unchanged, yet always refracted in memory.
The theme of Reflections is expressed not only in the literal mirrored image, but in the deeper act of considering how a city is seen, through stone, glass, history, and the eyes of those who look only briefly.

Galaxy Sculpture (Alex Liberman) by Leadership Square in Oklahoma City with reflection of the photographer

For this week’s 52 Frames Photo Challenge “Reflections,” I tried to capture a reflection of the Galaxy sculpture on a reflective pillar by Leadership Square in downtown Oklahoma City. Instead, I found a distorted reflection of myself in the frame! #52Frames_reflections #photography #nikon #sculpture

My take on this week's challenge of #52Frames_reflections. I had a completely different vision initially that was a bit more "horror movie" but work sucked the effort out of me for that kind of thing.

Love this painting of marsh grass which is in the hallway of the hospital where I work. At the right time of the day you get a double exposure look with the reflection of the outside patio. #52frames_reflections #52frames #photography

The #bird leans toward its echo,
as if seeking counsel from a quieter self.
Light dissolves the world around it,
leaving only the question:
are we defined by what we are,
or by the #reflection we choose to follow?
