Mini-Challenge #590 - Reflection
2

Reflections. We see them in nature and in our glass cities, in roadside puddles and in wide open eyes. Rarely perfect, they can create a dialog and tension between the object and its image, can enlarge the features into caricature or reduce details to just shapes and colours. They form illusions -- "smoke and mirrors", or reinforce reality by repeating it. And sometimes we even see them without the actual reflection, by striking real symmetry -- well, they're about deception after all...

The usual rules apply: any time and camera, up to three images per participant. Of course, exhibits are welcome, just please mark your photos as entry/exhibit. Every photo should have its own post and subthread. I choose the winner, but your likes can make me rethink my choices, so please don't hesitate to show appreciation!

The time is up to Monday, July 11th, 12:00 UTC.

Some examples:

Crandell's First - Purple Martin Pylons

A former neighbour planted these posts at low tide maybe 15 years ago to house purple martins safely.  They are reflected nicely in the lagoon at what is called the 'Goose Spit'.

Was hoping to make some new images for this challenge - but I injured my leg 2 weeks ago and I'm not as mobile as I'd like. Here are 3 of my favorites for exhibits:
