Quite a visual. It seems to trick the eye a bit. Wonderful work, Colmar!

Like this a lot! The change of angle of the modern building takes this from a normal building-reflection shot to a fabulous one...

Colmar Wocke Corinne,

Really lovely of you to leave this wonderful comment - of course, I liked reading it!

Thanks a ton.

Go well.

Wow! I took a very very similar one there too a couple of years ago!

Colmar Wocke eugkyr,

Well then you know the environment there - what struck me was this juxtapositioning of the old and the new, with the old almost hemmed-in and under pressure from the new.

Thanks for the comment!

Old/New always an interesting POV with buildings..and I love how you caught this reflection..with color and clarity. Bravo Colmar. My best, Phyllis

Colmar Wocke Phyllis,

Thanks for the comment - yes, this was the intent - to show how the old gets pushed out or hemmed in by the new!

Go well, as always.

Colmar Wocke Monique,

Thanks for leaving the comment.

Do you mean take a picture with a reflection in it, or one where your own likeness is reflected?

Go well.

Colmar

Monique i meant a reflection of something.......not of me:)

Very nice combination, like it very much

Colmar Wocke Luc,

Thank you - not classical "Architecture" as such, rather intended to show the interplay of old and new and how often old simply gets "hemmed in".

Thanks!

Thanks a lot - I was drawn to the reflection of the stately old building in the modern glass facade.

Chile photos at last! Congrats Colmar. Probably such a shot is among the last things how we would imagine Chile. Leave no stereotype untouched, eliminate them all!

Colmar Wocke Balazs,

Truly an amazing country - Santiago has so much to be photographed and I was there too short, unfortunately.

Thanks a ton for the nice comment - Go well.
