It recently rained in New York for the first time in ages, and offered up some wonderful opportunities to capture reflections in the pools of rainwater. Here are a few rainy day reflections of New York modes of transport.
Reflections – bike taxi driver in Times Square
Reflections – New York yellow cab
Reflections – New York bus, and another photographer with the same idea as me, facing off at the other end of the puddle!
As there has been no weekly photo challenge this week, I’d love to offer this up as a theme for anyone wanting to join in. Just title your post ‘Reflections’, tag it with ‘postaday’ and add a pingback to this page in your post. I’ll publish any pingbacks I get into the comments stream so anyone else who participates can find your entry too. I’d love to see your interpretations. Pass it on!
Here’s my Reflections post from my nature blog.

You read my mind! I was logging on to see if anything was posted yet. I have just the photo…:)
Thanks for stepping up. Forgive my ignorance, for I know not what I do :-). how do I “pingback”?
Your photos are super. Again, nice job, all around.
Hurray, welcome aboard. All you have to do is post a link to this page in your post. Others are writing something along the lines of:

Let’s Play!
How rude of me to forget to mention how much I enjoyed your photos!
LOL, how very rude 🙂 Lovely entry this week, Jeff. I had fun getting the Times Squares reflections – nearly got splashed several times before getting the shots I wanted. 🙂
Just call me Sir Jeff the Rude! 😀
I’ve had to deal with splashes quite often, usually because I’m standing in a stream at the base of a waterfall, and not because I’m dodging taxi’s in Times Square! You are way more brave than I am!
Harr, you speak the truth, Sir Jeff the Rude, those NY taxi drivers are a force to be reckoned with!
And people think I was in danger while photographing the mother black bear and her cubs that are in an earlier blog post of mine! That’s nothing compared to the terror you must have been experiencing 😉 The horror!
Yeah!!!! We don’t need Sarah any more. I like Ailsa’s challenges better 😀
LOL what have I started?
You have no idea 😀

Great photos and great challenge. Inititally I thought I already have the perfect photo but I have decided to take one specifically with this challenge in mind. I am not so good at doing that so it will make it even more of a challenge for me.
Hurrah, looking forward to your photo, Andrea – thanks for joining the party 🙂
