I played with the idea of making this week a philosophical shoot-out but the week became somewhat of an emotional quagmire for me and I wasn’t able to really get my mind around it, so I fell back on my archives. That is what an archive of photos is for isn’t it?
We spent from Sunday night to early this morning in Rio and for the ‘my town’ in this week’s shoot-out Rio is optimum. I have always loved reflections both in glass windows and in quiet waters. Reflections are romantic and mysterious, and they give color and texture, extending what the eye sees. In Rio, the lagoa is one of my favorite places for walking with my camera and for reflections that merge man, sky and water.
Ohhhh Ginger, as always lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteI love the header photo too!!!
Your photos are amazing as is your description :)
ReplyDeletegreat pictures, Ginger, and the header is the best!
ReplyDeleteRio by the sea, oh..........how lovely. Looking at the pictures just makes me want to be there! I love the reflections of the swan boats in the water. Beautiful choices, Ginger. Have a great week. Get some rest.

Fantastic photographs, mum and I enjoyed them very much. Thank you for your comment on my Roman blog; what a great idea to take the boys to Rome! Why didnt I think of that? We were there for a weekend break before xmas just my husband and I so maybe a break for the whole family would be great. Thank you x

Thanks for the comment on my blog. I loved looking at your reflections shoot out. I enjoyed Gigi's today as well. I'm starting to get the photography bug.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have been following you around as you were taking the pictures.
Oh hello!!
ReplyDeleteI just love your photographs. that photo you asked about of mine was the corner of a building!!
Finished working now so hopefully will be sensible for a couple of weeks...
How beautiful! I enjoyed your reflections tour :-)
ReplyDeleteMan! What a beautiful place!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures really make me want to travel again! I love them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the beautiful place- Rio. And for the beuatiful photos of refelction. Amazing both photos and the place.
ReplyDeleteCan I grab my favorite photo? I planned to post a collection of this week's photo shoot out them. I will credit your site of course. If it's okay with you.
Love the photos... just beautiful scenery. I do look at some of your other post. I'm just short on time to post a comment... but do know that I enjoy all your photography :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. Your photos of water and mountias and their reflection, show a tranquil place to be.
ReplyDeleteBeen away for almot 3 weeks and still have lots to do.
Beautiful! I don't think that Kansas has quite the same appeal as Brasil :) The second one is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteToday is the day, this week, that I will complete my visits. After your site, I have fifteen left. When I begin on Fridays I try to visit mostly new members first.
ReplyDeleteYour posts are always worth the wait. Not only are you a great photographer, you also live in a beautiful area. I assure you, I visit your blog several times during the week. I don't want to miss a new post.
This week you did not dissapoint. The shots are beautiful.
Well, spank me hard! I did not come to your site. I thought I had hit you first and as I was going down the list I thought I would come on over and see what was doing. What I saw was that I never made your shoot out. And you are one of my favorite places to visit.
ReplyDeleteCan't pick a favorite. I love them all, though the last one is nice and the 4th one from the bottom.
Great work, GingerV!
gorgeous
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking!
