Reflecting on a reflection

Upper convergence

The two image planes - the windows reflected in the puddle and the surface of the puddle - converge at the top of the photograph.  This reflection of windows in a puddle is presented as a relaxed view 3d stereograph.  

 

Four holer

Google-ee-i's

The depressed center, the shiny wear marks, the worn out asphalting - seen on this manhole cover in the street beneath our feet - all are telling marks that this four hole sewer cover has been in constant service for a long time.

 

Knobby cover

Medieval relic?

This utility cover is seen in the street beneath our feet.  The sans serif font SEWER label on this 16 x 12 x 6 x 1 knobbed manhole cover identifies it as a sewer cover.  The labelling ensures that it is not mistaken for a medieval shield that it resembles.

More Irisation

With the sun setting below them, these thin clouds of ice crystals became more and more iridescent as they became less and less.

Iridescent clouds, later

The irisation of these ice crystal clouds increased as they faded away to nothing.

A night at the gas station

Nobody there

A gas station at night with no customers presents the perfect opportunity to render it as a relaxed view 3d stereograph.

Yellow hydrant

At ready

This 4 1/2 inch fire hydrant was made by the Kennedy Valve Company, located on East Water Street in Elmira, New York.  The company originated in 1877 with Daniel Kennedy at a location on Gold Street in lower Manhattan in New York City.  They moved to Coxsackie, New York in 1890, and then to Elmira in 1907 where it continues to this day.  This model is the AWWA with a 200 GWP capacity.
