 Yes, this is the Crystal Cathedral. The primary structure is the tower. You can see the cathedral reflected bottom right, and then the tower itself in the reflection from the cathedral. Starting to sound like a Star Trek temporal rift episode!


Check out PennyStreet for inspiring images and abstracts based on reflections. Great work.

This took me a while to understand, so kudos for that. Great take on the theme, and awesome execution. The amount of detail in the clouds is amazing... HDR done right? Or an amazing camera and great processing?

This photograph has so much to discover in. Where exactly is the sky, what is a reflection and what not,... Great contrast also

I've looked at this awhile. Just as I'm about to give up, I figure out another element of this. Thanks for puzzling me. And thanks for the unusaul perspective.
