reflection Praying in layers of reality!

Few days ago, I was walking on a street. I saw that scene that a man

was praying inside a lobby of a company.

For few seconds my brain could not understand what was going on. My

brain thought that the man was praying toward a a yellow block ! How

strange!

Then I tried to think more.

Then I got it.

He was praying there in that lobby.

And yes there was that yellow block but not inside. It was a layer of a

reflection of yellow electrical box outside on the pavement.

The light was inside.

The cars were outside.

And I was standing among those layers of realites trying to capture that

scene with my compact digital camera !

And the green wall was in the middle of layers (of) . . . . !

* Sorry for the bad quality of the image because of dirty glass of the

lobby.

Good day to you, Mr. Kashani! I found your photo of "the evolution of modern man" from the critique forum and it led me to view your portfolio and also visit in your Usefilm-pages.

From your P.N. portfolio I found this one to be a particularly interesting capture. These layers really reflect the collision of the modern world and the religion/beliefs inside of us. In a way this also reflects the vision of Islamic-countries in the eyes of the western world people. People show openly their faith and it happens in the middle of the every day life. That may be a troubling vision for many westerners, as our culture seems to distance itself from the open showing of one`s own faith.

I work in a Christian congregation, amongst teenagers, but I can still see this image of yours as a very interesting and deeply human photo. If only we people could meet openly, without pre-judgement. Openly discuss about the faith and the way we see the world around us. I enjoyed your writing about exploring the world, viewing the little details around you and photographing them. Actually I found a whole lot of that also from my own way of viewing the world.

So, my warmest greetings from Finland,

Alpo S.

Don't be sorry for anything. The image is just right. On the east coast (USA) they call it 'aut daughlingk'.I love seeing & also shooting layers of reflections. Its a lot of fun. I should do it more myself.

Keep up the good work.
