I was walking the all seeing dog, when I saw this reflection is a water feature that can be found along one of her routes. For some reason it was clear and blue. It was also highly reflective. The bare trees of winter were looking back at me. I made a lot of pictures. I made some with the bank and made some that are much more colorful than this one.
But.
This one reminds of a Van Gogh painting. Of course, his has little cherry flower blossoms in it that really bring it to life. As much as Van Gogh has always been one of my muses, I only recently learned of his fascination with all things Japanese. I have a show catalog that is based on it.
One more thing.
To me, this picture is a bit confusing. It looks upside down. It isn’t. That’s how the trees in the background were reflected. My instinct is to flip it over.
What do you think?
I love the color, I did flip it around and looked at it. But I like it better the way you posted it. Very nice.

I think it works either way :-). Nothing like an equivocal comment, huh?

Hello Mr. Ray,
I like how you posted the photo, it didn’t seem too confusing to me, and encourages us to “look” at the image. I agree, it has a nice Japanese atmosphere 🙂

Thank you. I spent so much time in Japan and other regions in Asia that I suppose artistic styles got into my head and heart.

Thank you. My blue is more like dusk. I did borrow this color from Van Gogh.

To me, it doesn’t look upside down.
Instead, it looks like the lake looking up. Like if you were laying down beside the lake or if you were the lake, that’s what you’d see.

That’s kind of what I think too.
