This is a shot of the window of our red minivan, reflecting the clouds and sun. It's rotated 180 degrees.

Hm, I have no idea what this is. But it makes a very nice abstract, I think!

I'm not really sure what this is but I do know, for me, it isn't what I would call a soft focus image (MHO)

this shot is too blurry...could be sharper...Just Kidding!!

I'd love to know what this is. It looks like the reflection of the sky at the bottom and some light source in the middle.
