The House of Commons,1833 / Busts (Weekend Reflections # 502)

London, England

In this part of the National Portrait Gallery the walls are reflective in the space that divides the rooms.

I don't know who these people were but they were obviously important enough to have their busts still displayed centuries later. I did notice that the women were placed above the men. I wonder if there is any significance?  

Happy Mother's Day!

Palazzo Vecchio (Weekend Reflections # 406)

Florence, Italy

I was about to re-enter the Uffizi Gallery  from the rooftop terrace when I noticed this partial reflection of the Palazzo Vecchio. The couple seemed amused that I was taking their picture. I'm sure they didn't realize that I am reflection addicted and they were engulfed in a reflection. :-)

Happy Reflecting!

Art Lecture (Weekend Reflections # 378)

Rome, Italy

While walking around The Palazzo Massimo art museum, I noticed an empty conference room that had some interesting reflections in the window. To me it looked like art was giving a lecture. :-) 

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!

A Rocky Reflection (Weekend Reflections # 335)

                                                                   The Barnes Foundation
 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania           

No, not that "Rocky" although I did walk past his statue shortly after I took this picture. :-) 
I had to laugh when a man who was also taking pictures said to me, "You should get a UV filter for your lens so you won't have to worry about all of these reflections." :-)

Happy Reflecting!

The Art of Reflection (Weekend Reflections # 289)

Florence, Italy

After a long time of walking around The Pitti Palace museums, I started noticing reflections in strange places. This is a reflection of a women looking through a window with partially drawn drapes. I think she was looking at The Boboli Gardens.

Tate Modern Inversion (Weekend Reflections # 243)

London, England                                     

All of this is just a reflection on a wall. 
In the Tate Modern Museum there is a place to sit and look at a nice view of St. Paul's Cathedral. Here's a warning: turn right, NOT left, when you exit the elevator or you just might walk into this wall.  Sorry, that's me kneeling in the bottom right side of the picture.

I hope you have a good Memorial Day weekend!

Taking Time to Dream (Weekend Reflections # 210)

Vienna, Austria

This man seemed to be dreaming of different times and far away places. 
The man on the bench and the paintings next to him were reflected on a room divider made of polished stone in The Kunsthistorisches Museum. I left the wood moulding and a slice of an actual(not reflected) painting on the right side to give a little perspective.

I wont be around very much for the next three or four weeks but Weekend Reflections will still be here, so please continue to enjoy it. :-)

Philadelphia Through a Fountain

I took this shot in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art on Saturday. I wasn't standing in the fountain but I was tempted. :)

I bet the guy with the camera on the other side of the water took my picture too.

This is two crops of the same photo.

A Hot Day in Doylestown

Yesterday Vicki and I went to Doylestown. It's not too far from Newtown and has more things to do. We started off at the James A. Michener Art Museum and Sculpture Garden. Then we did a little sight seeing (picture taking) and Vicki bought a used book. It was really hot and humid so we went to a cafe and had nachos and iced tea. After that, we paid a visit to Craig who owns "Let Them Eat Cupcakes" (more on him at another time).
On the way home we stopped at Tanner Bro's. It's a cool little market that's attached to a dairy farm. The produce and dairy products are wonderful, and the prices are the best that I've seen around here. (I need to go back and get some pictures.)

Today's pictures feature the museum entrance and some of the sculpture garden.
Notice the high stone walls; this museum is actually housed in what used to be a prision.
