Ramblings of a retiree in France
This week Amanda‘s Friendly Friday Photo Challenge is to share pictures and stories inspired by SMOKE and MIRRORS.
It might be a magic illusion, a symmetrical reflection, an accidental or deliberate set-up shot, or an image within an image. It is really up to us how to interpret the prompt.
I don’t usually use mirrors though occassionally find myself captured on film when I photograph something with a mirrored surface such as a door. However, I particularly like photos where either the scenery or buildings are mirrored in water. These are usually happy accidents!
I’m much enjoying these weekly challenges hosted on alternate weeks by either Amanda or Sandy because they force me to think about what’s in my photo archives and how I might re-purpose them.
If you’ve enjoyed this post, why not join in the fun?
