Not a single piece of cloud, and not a single day of rain during the trip, but only a puddle of water from sprinkler system. Here's the original orientation for reference. ^_^

Wilson, next time you do one of your trips, give me a phone call.

The first thing that came to mind when I saw this was, Las Vegas. I'm not sure if that's a compliment or an insult, though. The vivid colours, lack of obvious context and abstract nature of the architecture makes it look 'clean' and fake, like a tacky Vegas hotel/casino.

 

I do like the photo, by-the-way. I like the reality verses the fakeness, reminds me of shallow, Hollywood style attempts at Bhuddism( *cough* Matrix *cough*).

Thank you ladies and gents for your feedback. ^_^

 

Tuhin, those are not clouds BTW. It's the cobblestone texture at bottom of a shallow, puddle of water.

 

Stephen, thanks for an interesting take, I think@#! Anyway, I thought I'd do something different from gazillion other people which typically would contain the large green lawn in the foreground.

Puddle perpectives again. I like your way of observing, Wilson. So unique...a little dizzy....always stunning.

CR: Orientation needed, that means a lot! Its the proof for an outstanding work. Especially I am touched by the native character I know from the behind-glass-painting. CL: It seems that the dry part is needed, at least for defining the kind of picture. Yet it doesnt fit the aesthetical impression in this case. Greetings, RE

Love that creative element you bring to your work. I too thought they were clouds and was really disoriented without the original.

Had NO idea that it was a reflection until I read the details and comments. Great work, as usual, Wilson!! I LOVE the colors, especially the gold in the temple!
