Reflecting Center City

Reflecting Center City

Uploaded: March 08, 2014

Description

-----
I found this reflection totally confusing. To me it appears that the violins are reflections. Hint: They are NOT.
----
Shot in Center City, Philadelphia--probably Chestnut Street, June, 2010.
----
Getting ready for the Annual Southeast Pennsylvania American Red Cross Chapter's Annual Red Ball--a HUGE gala fundraiser-- this evening. I'm shooting candids this year from 4 pm until midnight. Probably editing photos for two days afterward.

Now that's pretty cool, Michelle. Certainly warrants a double-take. And good luck at the Red Ball! #1566119
