  2. What Bartek? You doubt that I can handhold that steady for 150 seconds?! Thanks for doubting, the exif has been corrected...by the way, the "overlay" is blue sky reflected on the wet asphalt after a heavy rain.

  3. I have no doubt at all that you can. It was the 150 seconds in the morning that bothered me ... IT is a very interesting piece of art. When someone reads "reflection" you come to expect something reflected in a way a mirror or water surface reflects things. Here you can see very sharp lines that lead the observer to think that the mirror is perfect and what you see apart from the lines is actually THE reflected object. But here, my mind was struggling to match the reflected image to anything known. It's not very clear from the small image, but now I guess that the dark lines are cracks in the pavements and the irregular network is the MIRROR not the IMAGE.
