For those on the other side of the pond, that is checkered skies – only spelt correctly…
As previously mentioned, the Miroir d’Eau in Bordeaux creates a really nice mirror (would you have guessed from the name?) once the spray stops and the majority of the water drains away. The Bourse creates the perfect backdrop for an ad hoc meeting of friends.
One of the attractions of Bordeaux is the Miroir d’Eau. It makes an interesting sight when the water spray creates a misty cloud, and a perfect mirror when the spray dies down. Add to that a fairground, just beyond, and you have to go for a walk at night. Daytime reflections also work, but you will have to wait for that image…
Going back to the theme of minimalism, I took this image a few years ago whilst on a wine tour of Bordeaux. After the tasting, the empty wine glasses on a white tablecloth were irresistable. I have a couple of other images from Bordeaux that will find their way on to the blog until I get my backside in gear and go take some new ones.
