Wintry Reflections

The weather is still cold and snowy here, very beautiful! Here are a couple of reflections that show some of the beauty of a wintry Edinburgh! I took the first photo along the Water of Leith on Monday.
Crafty Green Boyfriend took this second shot in Princes Street Gardens on Christmas Day.
No reflections along the Union Canal, which is frozen solid - hopefully some photos of that tomorrow!

  1. The second photograph is just the sort of thing I like. So many opportunities for good pictures in these conditions.....if you're brave enough to venture outside!

  2. Love reflections. Crafty Green boyfriend keeps creeping into this blog, I see - does he have a blog of his own? If so would like to visit if he has more photos like this on it.

  26. the composition adds tension
    the detail in the foreground with the broad image in the background. hard to capture,
    excellent balance and images
