mirrors hung on trees
not as odd as one might think
roads were once cow paths
Tomorrow's prompt is: A Stranger. This should be a simple since New Englanders are famous for their friendliness.
It's like a window to another world.
ReplyDeleteI really like how the mirror ends up framing the building and, that the surrounding branches are like a detail from within the mirrored object! I really love the whole quintessentially New England theme of your shots :-)
ReplyDeleteDitto what Unfinished said. Fantastic photograph!
ReplyDeleteand now they are race tracks....
ReplyDeletegreat capture cheryl
This is a great find for your mirror entry. Well done!
ReplyDelete=)
That? Is hands down my FAVORITE photo of the day!
ReplyDeleteoh - LOVE this!!! The tree branches all tangled surrounding the mirror - perfect! The image in the mirror - perfect! Is it a converted barn?
ReplyDeletelove the mirror image with the warping of the roofline and wires and all of the little bends and twists that wont be there in the real image !!! i am totally enjoying your take on these challenges!
ReplyDeleteIt could be, but I doubt it. There used to be homes with acres of land along this road. Now there are far more homes each with far less land. Most of them are not particularly old for our area.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great shot!
ReplyDeleteHere, some farms and rural houses have mirrors for exactly the same purpose!
This one is so different. The whole oval frame mirroring somewhere else, fixed to a tree and just watching, it's all to perfect...did you get permission to photograph my house?
ReplyDeleteThat would come in handy if you live on a busy street with multiple blind spots. Great photo, Cheryl!
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what it's for. This was taken along Rt 1-A, the road to the beach for many who head there from Portsmouth. It's only 2 lanes wide with almost no shoulder on either side. It's one of those winding roads that have a gazillion blind spots, tons of cyclists and runners, and people who need to get safely into and out of their driveways.
ReplyDeleteDamn! I knew I forgot something.
ReplyDelete(Almost got run over multiple times because this is a blind spot. Funny thing is, I never noticed the owner working in her front yard. When I was walking back to my car, she hollered over to me and asked what I was doing. Never occurred to me that someone might feel their privacy was invaded since this is there for them to get into and out of their driveway without running into the millions of cars, cyclists, and runners.)
See, you'd feel right at home in the New Country.
ReplyDeleteIt is...
ReplyDeleteThanks. I kinda planned the shot that way while trying not to get hit by passing cars. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're enjoying New England. Sometimes I think it's the best place in the whole world. Other times, it snows and I want to move just a wee bit south.
Thanks Nicky.
ReplyDeleteThat too and thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue.
ReplyDeleteThanks Meleah. I like how it came out.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo. Starting to get exhausted with these prompts but you know I'm not a quitter.
ReplyDeleteThis almost looks like someone hung a painting on a tree, it's a wonderful photo. Great job!
ReplyDeleteA mirror to remind how beautiful our world is.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ziva. I told you I had a dandy shot for today. I was hoping you'd be shivering in your shoes and be ready to hand me the whip for a week.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful photo. Here in the north Georgia mountains, I see mirrors like these to aide residents in getting out of their driveway!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could package up a Victorian-era porch and send it to you complete with southern sweet tea or frosty lemonade!
What a great picture. I love how you've framed it.
ReplyDelete:)
ReplyDeleteThat is so creative!
ReplyDeleteNice find for Mirror! I love the unique take on the prompt. So glad you didn't get taken out by a car or cyclist! But you got the shot...and that's what counts, right? ;-D
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot. Love that white house!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love photographs taken in mirrors, especially wide-angle mirrors like this. It's a really pretty shot, and a little quirky to boot. Another very nice shot, Cheryl. You're upping the bar in this non-competition.
ReplyDeleteAwesome hot. Creative and artistic.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by :)
It takes a lot to make me shiver in my FMP's. ;) I might consider letting you borrow my whip for an hour or two, though... But only if I can be on the receiving end. ;)
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhhhhhhhhh how I LOVE this image!!! It's so very perfect.
ReplyDeleteSunday's Shadow
Thank you for linking to the shootout. Your mirror is definitelty a niche to another world.
ReplyDeleteHey Cheryl that's a great shot with the obvious question. Did you see it or set it up? Whatever, it's just spot on.

ReplyDelete::snort::
ReplyDeletePulease send one of those porches? We have plenty around here but none happened to be attached to our little place.
ReplyDeleteThanks John.
ReplyDeleteThank ye kindly, Ms. Teresa.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa. Getting the shot is ALL that counts.
ReplyDeleteThanks Fi. If you like that one, you'd love most of the places in this area.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike. In this we are definitely kindred spirits.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank gawd I'v accomplished something besides getting really worn out from posting daily.
Thanks Lina. My pleasure.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ms. Annie! Lots of fun stuff up here to shoot.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark.
ReplyDeleteAt first I was going to tell you I'm far too lazy to set up a shot then I remembered that I have once or twice. They always include quite beautiful dragonflies and bees that are quite dead. When it comes to fun and games, my sloth seems to disappear in a heartbeat.
ReplyDeleteI really like the wide angle perspective and that house is very interesting. Great photo! But I didn't realize that the cows in New England were so vain.
ReplyDeleteOkay. I'll be mooooving along now ...
;-)
Fantastic shot :)
ReplyDeleteThis photo blows me away! Damn!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you were ever going to visit. Sheesh. Lure me in with the promise of misery and then you don't show up to share in mine. ::sigh::
ReplyDeletePerfection for reflection! (I really didn't mean to rhyme, but I just went along w/ it) Lol
ReplyDeleteGreat GREAT shot!
Thanks for linking up with us for Finagle a Foto!
Happy Easter weekend!
Thanks Claire.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda. I'm going to take this as a compliment.
ReplyDeleteI like the way that shot turned out. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Melanie. The only time I rhyme is unintentionally. When I try to write something that's supposed to rhyme, my mind goes blank.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
ReplyDeleteA really creative shot, beautifully captured!
ReplyDeleteHow cool is this.. I just love this shot!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love this!
ReplyDeleteFun shot! Have a great week.
ReplyDeletewhat a unique shot, is it a barn??
ReplyDeleteI love those convex mirrors and the view they give... love your capture! Thank you, Cheryl, for sharing on 'Weekly Top Shot.' :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing reflection, Cheryl...WOW!
ReplyDeletecongrats on your reflection win. I love this shot too.
ReplyDeleteFun shot! Have a great week.
