[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This shot was taken in the elevator of the Reichstag in Berlin leading to the top of the building where one can visit the Dome, the glass structure built over the parliament (Bundestag). Shots of the Dome to come.

This shot was in a way "stolen" as the security guards were reluctant to let people take photographs in this highly secured place.

But I was totally fascinated by these endless reflections ... these reflections of reflections of reflections of reflections ...

Hi Sylvie!!!!
WOOOW!!!!!
This photo is pretty cool!!!
Is that you in reflect with camera in hands?
I don't know cose that is great thing to take a shot and I belive you are not alone in taking shot of this place.
I think that many many people take shot of this in any time of day. ;)
I was thinking first that this is some carnival and all people have the same clothes. ;))
I like compo and colours.
Great one Sylvie!!
Take care.

MAtej

Très bien vu, Sylvie. Superbe réflection à l'infini de ces touristes qui n'en finissent plus de se multiplier. Les couleurs sont très riches comme d'habitude et l'observation est excellente. Bravo!

Désolé, mon sac de sourire vert est vide pour la journée!!!

ohhhhhh lovely!
Hello there Sylvie,

These reflections are very interesting, I am a big fan. I love the bright lights as well. You have captured it very well. If I was there, Id probably be very tempted to take a photo for sure. I'm glad you did. =)

Very Nice

Sophia

bonjour sylve
reflets à répétition, dans quel monde nous conduis-tu ?
Ceci est une réalisation que je n'ai pas encore vue. Multiples reflets égal multiples personnalités.
bravo et excellant.
N'oublie pas de répondre au petit mail envoyé hier.
Bonne journée ma seigneurie.

Bonjour Sylvie,

Des reflexions, des reflexions, des reflexions!
Je comprends que tu n'aies pas pu t'empecher de prendre une photo et tu as bien fait. J'aime particulierement l'effet de distorsion juste au dessus de ta tête, un peu comme la ligne d'horizon qu'on peut voir se courber.
Allez hop, tu finis dans mes favorites Sylvie, en tant que "Reine des reflets et l'art urbain". ^^

Marc.

Bonjour Sylvie!
quelle photo! quelle composition! J'ai beaucoup cet "écho" dans le miroir. Les couleurs sont parfaites. Et surtout, on voit une partie de toi, à quand l'autre moitié?? ;D

Hi Sylvie,
You really are good at spotting excellent scenes in the urban backdrop. This one like so many others is really good. Nicely composed.
Matej spotted you pretty well. I am sure it must have been difficult to not include yourself but these reflection shots can be tough like that.
TFS.

Well, Sylvie...
wanted to ask the same question what Matej asked - is that you with a camera. And I already know the answer... :)

The way you see such interesting daily-life situations, places, spots to take a photo of... it's amazing!

The lines in this particular photo are surprisingly perfect... It really creates an illusion that it's a long tunnel and people dressed up in the same cloth are standing in line...

Well... great job! BTW, your reflection in the photo makes it more personal, adds to the effect of ubiquity.

Great!
Laine (back for a while again) :)

GREAT!! Who don't like this infinity in mirrors?
I adore to find the end there, but it seems that two mirrors beside the big endless of the space are only two things without end:-)
Nice that you decided to add yourself on the photo.

Tres belle photo Sylvie, super bien pris. L'effet d'infini est tres reussi. C'est de valeur pour le gars avec sa camera a droite, mais on ne peut pas tout controler.
Amities
Guy

Very cool Sylvie!
Nice effects and you captured them beautifuly.
Very well senn and very, very well executed.
Brava!!

take care, Stef :))
