Place Juliette Gréco (Weekend Street/Reflections # 147)

 

Paris, France                                 Mots croisés au parc

A woman doing crossword puzzles in a little park. It's a good way to keep your mind sharp. I should do a few of them because my mind has become very dull recently.😲

                                             Have a great weekend!

Now you can link reflections and/or street photography. 

Please no posed pictures, portraits, animals, etc. unless there is a reflection.

"Street photography is a genre of photography that records everyday life in a public place. The very publicness of the setting enables the photographer to take candid pictures of strangers, often without their knowledge."

Do Not Disturb ! (Weekend Reflections #591)

 We've had warm weather lately, 70s and 80s Fahrenheit, but try as they might, Pierrot and his reflection aren't able to get a sun tan. 😄

Happy reflecting!

Ciao Ciao (Weekend Reflections # 590)

 

Newport Beach  (Balboa Island)

Somehow the Italian restaurant across the street made a double reflection in this window. I've never eaten there but it's usually crowded.  

Have a great weekend!

Double Shrine in Venice (Weekend Reflections # 589)

 

Venice, Italy

It's interesting to stumble upon different shrines while walking in Venice. I wish I could have captured a little more of the right side of the shrine and less of the wall on the left side of this picture. I blame it on the lens! 😀

Time Marches On, Happy 2021 ! (Weekend Reflections # 588)

 

Newport Beach, California

My phone camera takes really bad night photos but despite that I sometimes try to take reflections pictures. I was going to delete it but the elements of darkness, light, obscurity and even a clock seem appropriate as we exit 2020 and enter a new year.

Happy New Year!

Oh Christmas Trees ? (Weekend Reflections # 587)

 

Newport Beach, California

It's been a strange year, so why not a reflection of a strange "Christmas tree." It's actually a tube with colored lights made in the shape of a Christmas tree. I see them a lot, but this one caught my eye because at first I thought there were two, one inside and one outside. Turns out that there was just one, and the inside one was a reflection.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Rialto Bridge Enter Here (Weekend Reflections # 586)

 

Venice, Italy

As you can probably tell, this is reflected on a glass door. It's the Rialto Bridge in Venice, Italy.  This bridge was built between 1588 and 1591 and crosses the Grand Canal.  The push sign made me think how wonderful it would be to only have to push a glass door and be transported to Venice. 😄

Have a great weekend!

Palazzo Pamphili (Weekend Reflections # 585)

 

Rome, Italy

One evening while walking through the Piazza Navona I noticed one of the windows of the Pamphili Palace was reflecting in a puddle. This photo doesn't do it justice; the painted ceiling is spectacular!

Triumphal Arch "Arcone" (Weekend Reflections # 584)

 

Florence, Italy

This arch can be found in The Piazza della Repubblica in Florence, Italy. I think this was reflected in a clothing store window. Looks like they had a clothesline display at the time. 

Have a great weekend!

Gnafron et la lumière dans la nuit (Weekend Reflections # 583)

Lyon, France

You might recognize the lamp and the building because they are reflected in the same window as last week. I took the photos at different angles. For more perspective you can see a little bit of the statue from last week in the top left corner of this reflection.  The man with the hat is a famous puppet named Gnafron.

Happy reflecting

Merci Marie (Weekend Reflections # 582)

 

Lyon, France

This reflection of an illuminated statue of Mary really stood out in the darkness. The lamps are also reflections. On a prior trip to Lyon I saw a huge lighted sign on the side of a hill that said,"Merci Marie." (Thank you, Mary)

56 Rue Saint-Louis en l'Île (Weekend Reflections # 580)

 

Paris, France

Still on Île Saint-Louis

I was trying to do some street photography, and I lucked out with a reflection, actually more than one if you count the one on top of the car. Speaking of the white car, it's also part of the reflection from last week.

Happy reflecting!

Île Saint-Louis (Weekend Reflections # 579)

 

Paris, France

When I saw this mirror attached to a wall I wasn't sure I could capture a reflection because it was dirty and covered with graffiti. I had to get the camera very close to the mirror to avoid the distracting elements.  However, it worked out pretty well because almost everything here is a reflection. The white and yellowish green above the man is some of the graffiti that couldn't be avoided. I think the man was trying to figure out what I was doing.😀

Galerie de Montpensier (Weekend Reflections # 578)

 

Paris, France

Reflections of a hanging lamp and a woman walking in Le Jardin du Palais Royal. 

Palais Royal will always have special place in my heart. It's where I stayed on my first several trips to Paris. I used to be able to open the apartment door and step out onto the covered walkway inside of the gates of Palais Royal. The other door opened to Rue de Montpensier. I used to use that door when I wanted to walk to the local boulangerie patisserie, "Au Grand Richelieu." They had the most delicious pain au chocolat and I was always greeted with a warm smile from the proprietor Claude and his cat.😀 

Claude couldn't speak English and I couldn't speak French (except for bonjour, s'il vous plait and merci), but it never made a difference. The Boulangerie Patisserie Au Grand Richelieu was over 200 years old, but sadly, it closed its doors forever several years ago. Another place that I have fond memories of was a little restaurant on Rue Thérèse called Chez Stella. Stella ran the place and interacted with guests like it was her home and not a restaurant. Sadly, that is gone too. Thank God for memories.

Have a great weekend!

Trop. C'est à Peine Assez (Weekend Reflections # 577)

Paris, France

I wonder if these guys realize that they have a guest at their table. A guest that seems to be wearing too much eyeshadow.  But as the reflected words say,  "Trop c'est à peine assez" = "Too much is hardly enough."

Happy Reflecting

There are a few reflections here. Can you see both places where the lamp is reflected?

Evening in Vatican City (Weekend Reflections # 575)

 

Vatican City

This was a good place for a puddle even though I didn't manage to capture all of St. Peter's Basilica.

Have a great weekend!

Palazzo Doria Pamphilj (Weekend Reflections # 574)

 

Rome, Italy

I found this reflection inside of the  Doria Pamphilj Gallery in Rome. I don't mind walking around in the rain, but I must admit this was an interesting and dry couple of hours. 

Weekend Reflections is 11 years old. Wow! 

In 2009 I never imagined that it would still be around in 2020. Thanks for your wonderful contributions and comments over the years. 😀💖

How Much is That Reflection in the Window (Weekend Reflections # 573)

         Florence, Italy 

I can't tell if that's supposed to be a dog or a polar bear. In either case it's reflected in the window and the man's coat.

Any old timers out there remember the song, "How Much is That Doggie in the Window" ? It was popular before I was born. 😀

I took this shot from inside of a Pylones shop in 2019.

Have a great weekend!
