I was in Spain this spring and while walking across the Puerta del Sol in Madrid I passed a metro entrance covered by a glass dome. There were reflections of the surrounding buildings that I really liked. Although it looks stormy the clouds were actually thinning out and blue sky was visible.
Later I noticed that my red camera is in the bottom right hand corner of the picture. Although it was unexpected I think that it makes a nice souvenir showing I was really there!
More great shots of reflections (so often tricky) like your window picture from Carcassonne, France. Much appreciated.

There’s something about the way those clouds are reflected in the first photo that made me expect to see them moving. Nicely done!
