Day 18 - Reflecting Door



Today, I took a walk around the neighborhood where my friend's house is located. This house is situated below road level, maybe 30-40 feet from the street. What caught my eye, other than the strong lines and classic structure, was the reflection of the trees in the window above the door. Fortunately I was above that tree level, and not reflected in the window, too! I love the classic stone and brickwork, as well as the beautiful leaded glass in the door.

I really love all your doors and gates. You have such a wonderful "eye", not to forget skill. Enjoyed the Bonus ones too.

It's an interesting perspective to be looking down on a door, and such a fancy one at that. Usually they like to put fancy ones at the top of stairs to give them a superior aspect. This one is fancy but demure. Love that reflection.

A good find, the idea of "looking down" at a door is unique.
Love the stonework also, and the reflection gives this one a magical touch.
Well done!!!

The reflection is like a painting or decorative permanent glassart.
Did you look for a higher point to stay out of the painting or is this the standard way to approach the house?

This is a great example of a 'Picture Window'.
I just noticed how well your frame matches the paint work.
