pkol, Fascinating shot.  At first, I thought that the grey dots painted on the glass were microwave dish antennas lined up on the nearer buildings.
Do people sit in chairs just to gaze through this window?

Thanks Keith.
This is one of the top floors of the Tate Modern museum in London. There are a few lines of seats placed facing a row of large windows (this is a crop as Three are 2 more Windows one on each side). I guess the seats are placed here so people can rest and also to take in the view.
You can see the Millennium Bridge and St Pauls cathedral.

Paulo, that is a very interesting image.  The framing and view (colours and clarity) but the silhouettes of the people make the image for me.
Thanks for posting
Ramon, interesting but I am not sure what I am looking at,  Reflections?  Does hold my attention until I give up  ;)

Hi Tom, you are right. You are looking at reflections on pretty large windows.
Hi Jakov, thank you for your warm comments. It is a pleasure to be part and to learn of the very experienced and talented photographers here.

Best regards,
Ramón

Vibrating windows


It looks vibrating though I think it is tension in the glass introduced by the casement frames which bends the glass and causes optical distortion.

Hi Thomas, many thanks for your explanation, looking this image but also in the reality you have the sensation that the windows are vibrating. This effect is very interesting for creating images.

Bes regards,

Ramón

Very nice Thomas! These windows really stand out. Reminded me of reflected zebras at first.

I`m spending the weekend in "east" Norway (some call it Sweden, but I`m not obsessed with details ;)). In this area the rural communities are characterized with depopulation and uninhabited houses. One sign of life are the posters saying "flea sale&home craft" but this one had the "closed" added to it. Liked the colors and worn down fasade. It was worth a shot. Df and 36-72mm.

Thomas, you really have an eye for unusual patterns and details. You have me waiting for what you are going to discover next :)

BW, that last one is very interesting. I did like it until I found the tree reflection in the window; an image withing the image, all of them fulfilling the thread intended theme. Now I love it
