A few months ago there was a challenge to post a photograph of a reflection. At the time I used the only photograph I had available on my iPad. It was some geese, on the water.
Yesterday, on a bus tour to Ripley's Aquarium in Toronto, I took what a photograph of a reflection that I want to share.
We stepped off the bus and were facing the CN Tower. This impressive tower is located next door to the aquarium. For some reason i turned around and saw the reflection of the Tower in the office tower directly east. it was too good an opportunity to miss.
I pulled out my inexpensive ten year old digital camera and this was the result.
Just one shot.

@JudyEv it's funny, Almost 45 years ago I had one of those really stunning photos, also taken in Toronto, of their unusual city hall. That picture was taken with my parents old Brownie Camera.

I turned around, saw the reflection and knew I had to pull out my camera. Often it will take me two or more attempts to get a good photograph. Editing is usually required to improve it. This photo has not been edited in any way (resizing doesn't count). I'm sure and expert would pick it apart, but I was really pleased with the outcome.

I'm not a city person, but sights like this are worth it. We had a wonderful day.

@Morleyhunt I agree with the traffic, but I love Toronto when you park and walk...

That is a really great picture, well done
I think I should take a few pics and make discussions around them as there are a lot of sites around my area...I don't have a camera so I'd have to rely on my rubbish tablet camera.

I've taken a few rally. Ice photos with my iPad. Usually I am disappointed with the results. This camera is. O great camera, but it does take some very nice pictures when the battery isn't drained.

@Mike197602 there are so many things I could take pictures of. I'm just not sure what people would enjoy reading about.

@Morleyhunt take the pictures and post the discussions then you'll see
I think you'll not ever know what will go down well here until you try it.

Throwing the camera into my bag was a last minute decision. Then having a battery in it that worked was a bonus.

That is just an exceptional shot. Amazing impression of a building acting like a "mirror."

It was a brash taking view. If I had been standing anywhere else, I don't think the result would have been as impressive.
