Mirror is the wall…

One of the interesting side effects of doing the Tuesday Photo Challenges, is that I also will keep the theme floating around in the recesses of my mind.  What this causes is that, from time to time, I’ll catch something that I might not have noticed otherwise.

Such was the case on Wednesday, as I went to Cambridge, Massachusetts, for my guitar lesson at the Passim School of Music (great place!);  as I was early, I stopped at the Starbucks across the street from the school and sat down with my Venti Triple Non-fat Latte (aka pretentious drink 🙂 ).

And voila…

Reflecting the city

I caught the interplay between reflections and transparency, so I moved my iPhone around until I got the view that I wanted; then, as I noticed the oncoming car, waited to get the car in the frame as well.  I figured that the motion of the car would add another little bit of interest.

Shadowy figures move down the street and are waiting at the crosswalk, while the Border Cafe (good and reasonably priced Mexican food) stands out sharp among fuzzy reflections (double-pane glass).

Just a little bit of fun!

    Multi-dimensional and multi-themed. Lots to find in one picture 🙂

      Keen observation! That was what really caught my eye looking through the window at Starbucks.

        The beauty of photography. Most people would miss all that while face-booking on their phones instead !!!! 🙂
