rounded sky (hunting for reflections at St.Petersburg)

avatar

My wife and me had recently an extensive and very enjoyable walk across the courtyards of non-parade districts of Saint-Petersburg, the city where I live. In case you didnt know that: it is especially famous for its courtyards, it is a place of intrest and even something of city's brand, essence. I have stacked about 250 captures, including some architectural stuff, graffiti and street-art.

But today I want to focus on the very few images I took especially thinking about the ShadowHunters community. Reflections. Nothing else, but residential houses reflections. Trivia! but I hope you enjoy the visuals.

St.Petersburg is poetically known as 'the city that is being guarded by lions' -- there are countless lions figures scattered across the city and used as decorations for walls, facades, mascarons, doors, courtyards etc etc etc. You never know when you stumble upon another one! *Which of course is a very pleasurable thing). And this one I found in the parked car's window reflection. (My wife and friends also made it into this frame -- you can see them both in the right corner, and in the car's reflection, as well).


The rest of my captures have nothing to do with reflections and shadows... (although some courtyards were pretty shady). But since its a Caturday right now, let me add just one more photo from the walk:

This was pretty brief post; wait for the next one, I will tell you a story or two. Cya1

You need to stake more BEER (24 staked BEER allows you to call BEER one time per day)

uh, not that I have a windshield to take pictures ;) but I look around, and when I notice something cool, surely I use it. its photographer skill, I guess: to look around neatly! and to use a good light, no notice when it is good to produce something special. cheers! - and a !BEER
