February 6 ~ A Bicycle!

 

My friend, Charles, sent this photo because he knows of my love affair with all things bicycle!

He sent the picture from Buenes Aires, while he was visiting Centro Cultural Recoleta.

Trying to decipher the picture, i'm guessing that there is a bicycle sculpture reflection on water, then perhaps a submerged mirror to give a triple reflection!

It is fascinating!

I couldn't resist taking a minute to capture these pristine shadows

 and the lone building, at Carleton U's locks.

I had time to take photos and reflect upon the new condo building by the canal...
