“There is something in October sets the gypsy blood astir
We must rise and follow her
When from every hill of flame
She calls and calls each vagabond by name”

What a killer reflection. This green is amazing as is the perspective. What a great night time photograph ... my favourite time of the day! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

Your black and white always surprises me, but you see a shot of color is very striking. Wonderful, by force, the ground color and photographed, q seems all wrapped in an aura of mystery and fantasy.

Years ago I took my kids to see the British movie "Water Babies". There was a character who we first met as "Madame Do-As-You-Will-Be-Done-By" and she changed faces and roles throughout the movie. The reflection reminds me of that movie.
The photography is stunning - I love it. The quote is fitting.
18 Oct 2009 6:39pm
Very cool, magical, and mysterious night shot.
18 Oct 2009 6:57pm
Great night street photography capture. Love the colour, the neon, the composition. You are one of my favourite photographers!
18 Oct 2009 9:17pm
.. and I find that a vagabond I am
for when the blood stirs
I want to roam the land
among the forest trees
to view the vivid colors
and photograph the leaves
(oops... my gypsy is stirring...)
18 Oct 2009 10:35pm
Those eyes follow me around the room here . . hee hee . . love the reality in this shot.
