May 2025 Theme Discussion: Reflection(s) (page 1 of 7)

This is the place for chit-chat on this month’s theme—reflections! I’m sure you’ve got some amazing ones to share. 😄

Hello Isabelle,

Great theme, but it’s gonna be tough to choose 🤔—our computer’s full of photos with reflections 🪞!

Have a wonderful trip in northern Finland. If the nights are still a little dark, take the chance to admire the northern lights since the activity index is high over the next few days!

Awesome, Nathalie, you’re gonna give us more gorgeous photos again! 😊 Didn’t see any northern lights this trip, even though we spent several nights on the lookout—but hey, that’s not why we came. 😄

Thanks Catherine and Marie Anne for kicking things off! 😊

Hi Isabelle, thanks for suggesting such an open-ended topic. I can’t wait to see what our talented photographers come up with! 😉

Place de Cucuron, for those who aren’t familiar with this lovely little Provençal village:

And still in Provence, the Silvacane Abbey.



Happy travels up north.

Catherine

Your photos are gorgeous, Nathalie! 🤩 I recognized the first one with the lion’s eye 😊

Thanks for these beautiful photos! Reflections of the day... a bit tricky with a 400mm lens, but it’s all I’ve got right now 😉

Photo 2: Stunning! Animals at the watering hole in Etosha Park, Namibia

Hi Nathalie, Your photo is really interesting, and it took me a little while to figure it out. It’s upside down, isn’t it? And where’s the “original” of the light gray animal on the right? Thanks for clarifying! 🙂

Hi Kate,

Your photo is really interesting and it took me a while to figure it out. It’s upside down, isn’t it?

🤫 It’s even more confusing that way!

And where is the “original” of the light gray animal on the right? Thanks for clarifying 🙂

The second animal is a little farther from the watering hole.

You can check out more photos of this watering hole (days_18) here in the Namibia travel journal. I hesitated to submit this one for the contest:

Really beautiful photo. And gorgeous zebras too

Reflection, glare, or shimmer—I’m not sure what to call it—in the glow of a firefly at night.

Hi, a classic: the Miroir d'eau in Bordeaux Cat

still in Bordeaux, the buildings on Place Pey Berland are reflected in the glass Christmas tree.



and to stay with glass, clouds over the Maxxi in Rome.

Awesome, Catherine, what beautiful reflections... 🤩

I hesitated to submit this one for the contest:



I get why you hesitated. This one is more classic but really well done. But you made a good choice—I love it when a photo makes you think ;)

The zebras reminded me of this photo that pops up on social media from time to time. It’s not reflections but shadows—the image is still amazing!

Hi Isabelle,

I knew the first photo with the lion’s eye 😁

Yeah, it was my avatar for a long time! 👍🏾

The zebras made me think of this photo that pops up on social media from time to time. It’s not reflections but shadows—the image is still amazing!



Yeah, this photo is amazing and really makes you stop and think 🤔

There are already some gorgeous photos in the contest... Come on, I know you’ve still got more up your sleeve! 👍
