The Law Of Reflection

Bettina (Los Angeles, United States) on 16 June 2010 in Architecture and Portfolio.

Downtown early morning catches the sunlight in a fantastic way. My own drive by shooting, awed by the light.

The sun explodes on the facade and lights this perfect game of architectural lines.

Philip from South Wales, United Kingdom

Your B&W photos are always of a high standard. I really like this one where the symmetry order of the man-made buildings is interrupted by nature in the form of the sun reflections.

16 Jun 2010 10:52am

@Philip: I agree. The sun just blasts right out of that building. Light always wins.

Phil David Alexander Morris from Saskatoon, Canada

I like when that happens and I bet you could feel the warmth.

16 Jun 2010 10:59am

@Phil David Alexander Morris: Absolutely you can feel it. Like an ant under a magnifying glass.
