Reflections of Bare Trees


“We cannot see our reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.” – Zen Proverb

These photos were taken at the Wilson’s Botanical Gardens as I was walking with my husband. It is now winter here in Melbourne , Australia so things are looking quite gloomy.

    Amazing reflections. What a perfectly still day it must have been, not a ripple on the water – but that’s not to take away from the photographer!

    Your wonderful photos remind me that sometimes it depends on where we look as to whether things are gloomy, beautiful, or interesting.

    1. Teresa says:

      Yes, depends on one’s past experiences too, I guess!

    I quite like the sculptural nature of trees wtih bare branches. And the symmetry of reflections. Thanks!
