Welcome to Week 130 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge!

The inspiration for this week’s theme comes from a photo that I took yesterday during a break in training at my work’s company headquarters in Raleigh, NC.  So I took a look to find out, if I used this theme before, and, much to my surprise, Reflection is a fresh theme!!  I don’t have to tell you that this is a theme that creates many an interpretation, ranging from the actual physical Reflection to the metaphysical and deep thoughts!

Therefore, take your creative license, polish it up and let your thoughts and lenses wander wherever they may take you; have fun!  I look forward to seeing your creations!

Here’s the view toward the sky from the 8th floor patio…

Reaching for the Sky

It was a wonderful, balmy day in Raleigh, NC, as you can see from the cloud pattern above; the reflection is in the windows of the Red Hat Tower.

The full rules of this challenge are in TPC Guidelines, but here’s the tl;dr:

  • Write a post with an image for this week’s topic
  • Please tag your post with fpj-photo-challenge (if you’re not sure about how tags work, please check out this WordPress article about tagging posts)
  • Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week (note: pingbacks may not appear immediately, as my site is set up to require approval for linking to it; helps against previous bad experiences with spamming)
  • Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!

I’m definitely looking forward to see your reflections upon this week!

  22. I love the sky reflected in the mirrored building! It is lovely!
    (Alas, these are also often deadly to birds–we just today had a segment in the local news about the number of migratory birds who fly directly into such buildings and are killed 🙁 Some buildings are taking steps to remedy that, though I’m not sure exactly how).
    On a duckier note, here’s my reflecting contribution:

    1. Great post! At flight levels, a number of buildings have put the shadow of raptors on windows to reduce bird strike. It appears to work well.

      1. Yes, I wonder if this is what they’ve been trying to do in NYC, too. Some buildings–like the Javits Center, had taken measures to reduce bird-deaths and it has been successful. Perhaps that’s one thing they’d done.
