Life – Sunrise Water Reflection
Posted by kairospix (Singapore, Singapore) on 9 July 2007 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.
It’s another Monday.
Here’s a shot showing the sun rising and how the sunrise water reflection looks elongated, like a beam instead of a circular orb up in the sky.
Reflections can get pretty distorted doesn’t it?
While I like the distortion in this shot I do wonder about the “distortions” we allow in our mental reflections. Would it be positive or negative?
A cup filled exactly up to the mid-point can either be viewed as only half-full or it can be viewed as half-empty. Both views are mental reflections over the same volume of water yet they are as opposite as light and dark. They are very diverse in perspective – one is positive, the other not so.
So while we may not be able to control what comes our way we do have a choice over our mental reflections. That is up to us.
Wishing all many positive reflections throughout the week ahead!
