In this tiny little dirty puddle you can see the point of the Hoftoren mirrored, a tall office building in The Hague that is nicknamed the fountain pen, precisely because of its special point. I am standing quite a distance away, almost a whole street away. And then you suddenly see it there, just like that in a puddle. When I crouched down in front of such a puddle to take the photo, people sometimes asked me worriedly if I had become unwell. But when I then showed them what I saw, delightedly, they looked along with me in amazement. #reflection #reflexion #mirror #puddles #streetphotography #abstractart #photoart #waterreflection #reflectionphotography #photography #photo #fotografie
The dirty puddle makes this photo even more interesting! You see the reflection first and then the eyes wander some more and realized there are two cigarette butts there which made the photo had a moody feel to it. Love it!
Thank you for your comment. You describe exactly why I also found it beautiful then and now. It is special that something so ugly can be so beautiful.
