Town Hall in reflection

Posted by Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 16 December 2010 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

South Shields Town Hall caught reflected in a puddle of water.

It was a good bright day, and despite the rest of the town being blanketed in snow, the gritters had ensured clear roads in the town centre, and all of that rock salt provided plenty of small pools in Westoe Road.

Just for the fun of it I thought I'd turn this upside down.

By turning the pic up side down it really gives the impression that we are facing a window to another world, much lighter and colorful by the way.
