Refractive Friday


Though this poor door deserves far better than it has gotten, I must say that it does look good despite certain short-comings that are not its fault. What it does have is a nice handle, a beautiful collection of beveled windows that are like jewels and even an interestingly shaped window above the door. I have to say though that if this were my door, I would paint it a colour that would bring out its subtle yet valuable attributes. As it is, it is just looks dull and boring and has very little, other than the windows, to attract the regard of passersby. It goes pretty much without saying that once again (as we have seen many times here before), the graphitti on the door merits that severe action be taken by the SPCD* against the perpetrator! If only it were possible!!

*SPCD - the non-existent Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Doors

The below, a close-up of the above door's windows, is my contribution to 'Weekend Reflections', a meme by James of Newtown Area Photo. For more information please see here. Note how the beveled glass refracts the light while also giving a different reflection.

Quiet Reflections


I have ALWAYS loved photographing reflections...reflections in mirrors, windows, puddles and just about any surface that gives back some semblance of what is in front of it. Today, I'm posting a door and some reflections that I found on its windows. This door, which is in the courtyard of a church, but is not the entrance door to the church, was kind enough to give me an abondent selection of reflections. I hope you like the door and what it sees!

The below are my contribution to WEEKEND REFLECTIONS hosted by James from Newtown Area...please follow the link for more great reflections from all over. Sorry, I suppose I should have only posted one picture, but I just couldn't decide WHICH one.
