Looking glass
As autumn continues apace, with gales and rain here, I look back a few weeks to a more tranquil day when the sun shone and the canal was like glass. You might fantasise a lovely young woman sitting in this window, brushing her hair in the reflection in the water. Actually it is not a home but an office, just outside Saltaire village at Salts Wharf. The workers have a nice outlook, don't they? The window is at canal boat level and in the summer there is much passing traffic on the water. The bright yellow flowers are just a weed, I think, a crucifer of some kind perhaps.
This is my entry for Weekend Reflections. Click the link for more beautiful and interesting photos on the same theme.

ReplyDeleteI have little to complain about, but I do wish my view from my office was as eye-soothing as this. The reflection of the yellow flowers on the canal is sweet.
ReplyDeleteI would certainly enjoy to work in such a lovely office... Pretty reflection, thanks for sharing it with us !
