Barrie Docks/ Weekend Reflections

 Reflection of locked gate onto docks, Barrie, Ontario

I have a fondness for wonky reflections. Since I bet you have little idea of what the original gate looks like, here is one below:

    The gate itself is beautiful but your wonky reflection is just amazing - looks like abstract art.

    Thanks for the 2nd picture...the reflection is kinda spooky and it helps to see that the gate is not weird at all. Well, maybe a little.

    Still wearing your winter coat? It's cool here this morning...and it's not going out of the 60s today. Brrrr!

    Wow, gorgeous shot, the reflection is so much more interesting and attractive than the gate.

    Cool - I love reflections that are either so very still as to be a mirror, or ones that work your imagination. This one gives a good workout!

    Fabulous reflections. I loved the first one even before I saw the second one. Maybe I loved it more without knowing its true identity, like a handsome stranger glimpsed through the window of a train.

    Excellent reflection! The top one is my favorite but I like the perspective that's given by the bottom photo.

    The first one looks almost like a sailing boat and I like the gull (is it a gull) on the second one!

    Wonky describes it perfectly...and I could not think of the word for the life of me.

    I love the abstractness of reflections and they are often more beautiful than the original! Great photo! Thanks for sharing.

    I am so glad you shared that second shot with us. The first one was awesome all by itself, but it was so nice to see the actual gate. This was a super contribution to the meme this week. genie
