Weekend Reflections - Building Reflections in the Arabian Sea - September 8, 2013

At last, Mumbai's monsoon rains have almost disappeared.  What we have now is 
only an occasional light shower.  Sun shines most days and, in the early evening,
I caught the reflections of these buildings .  The Arabian Sea is the view I see
from the 7th floor bedroom where I am staying in Bandra West, a Mumbai
suburb and I am always checking  the daily changes in the scenery.

I am participating in 

Weekend Reflections.

Weekend Reflections #111 - Gondolas in Venice - November 7, 2011

I've thoroughly enjoyed my two Mediterranean cruises with included
overnights stops in Venice and two full days to explore that delightful
watery wonderland.  Someday, I'd like to have at least a week there.
Will need a lottery win to realize that dream!

Camera Critters #146 & Weekend Reflections #70 - Dog Days - January 22, 2011

This picture was taken years ago, when I lived near Concord, Massachusetts.  It was a

very hot summer day and I had taken my son, Shawn, who was almost a year old, for a

picnic near the Concord Bridge.  I sat on the blanket, there on the banks of the river,

thinking that, perhaps, we were sitting on the very spot where British and American

soldiers had skirmished during the Revolutionary War.  It was very exciting to live for a

few years in ths cradle of U. S. history.

It was extremely hot that day and, when I walked out on the bridge, I noticed a Golden

Retriever standing in the water.  He remained there for some time, obviously trying to

cool off a bit.

Weekend Reflections #67 - Crystal Springs Reservoir, San Mateo County, CA - January 1, 2011

Weekend Reflections #67 - Crystal Springs Reservoir, San Mateo County, CA - January 1, 2011

The reservoir is made of artificial lakes in a rift valley of the San Andreas fault in the

north Santa Cruz Mountains in San Mateo County, just south of San Francisco.  The

water level is high from all the recent winter storms.  Water is also piped in from the

Hetch Hetchy Reservoir in Yosemite National Park.

It is a beautiful area, with trails for hiking, running, biking and just stolling, with

occasional benches to stop and take a break.  The views are lovely, with rolling

fog at times, pouring down the mountainside. 

This was taken from my car window as I took my son to catch his morning commute

train - so I couldn't get a very good picture.  Had to cut out the guard rail and other

roadside clutter.  One of these days, I'll go back and walk the trail for better photos.

I wish everyone the best that life can bring in 2011 -

Weekend Reflections #65 - Mirror Building - December 10, 2010

These buildings are in Burlingame, California, across from the Burlingame Hyatt.  I love

them because they always reflect the world going on outside their mirrored  walls.  It's an

ever changing scene.
