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.
Thank you – I thought that those reflections provided an interesting view of the buildings in the area!
You’re so good at coming up with entries for these challenges!
Thanks Lorna! I take lots and lots of pictures whenever I travel and it is so much fun to find the right ones for these photo challenges… :)
One of my favorite spots to people watch in Madrid.
What a great place to people watch – it’s really lively!
Always something going on :)
Especially when you have the time to enjoy everything!
Exactly, I used to sit there every afternoon for an hour or so. Free entertainment :)
That sounds great – you must have good memories!
I do, especially when there was Real Madrid soccer matches going on.
That must be a nice surprise to see the beautiful glass dome and the reflections. I like the one that caught your red camera :)
It was wonderful to see that glass dome and seeing the reflections made it even better!
There’s something about the way those clouds are reflected in the first photo that made me expect to see them moving. Nicely done!
Thank you! The clouds were very active that day and I’m glad that you sensed that movement… :)

Very ingenious! I think it’s kind of cute that your red camera is in the picture.
Thanks and I was surprised to see that camera – I didn’t mind though!
You were definitely there, Meg! I do like quirky shots like this :)
Thank you Jo – I always enjoy seeing reflections like these… :)
Nicely Done!!! I love the Puerta del Sol square……..even more than Plaza Mayor….I think because of El Corte Inglés !!
Thanks and I know what you mean about El Corte Ingles – I could spend hours there shopping and admiring all the wonderful merchandise (and food)!
Well done, cool pic!
Thank you very much!
what a cool photo… love the different angles and images reflected.
The glass showed so many different reflections – it was really fascinating. Thanks!
Just lovely -great shot.
Thank you, I’m so glad you liked it!
:)
What a wonderful dome! It’s really beautiful and quite fun that it captured your photo, too! :-)
That’s what I thought! The dome was stunning and the reflections made it even more interesting… :)

Amazing reflections Meg – well captured with your red camera.

How cool to have your camera in the shot.
I was happy when I realized it was actually my camera in the picture!
