You may well question my taste in photographs, but this is one of my favorite among favorites. Among the many thousands of photos taken over the years, this one never fails to please me... but then again, I'm easily pleased. For as long as I can remember I've been fascinated with light in general, and reflections in particular, and this one just goes off the scale. Photo was taken in 1987 at a place called the Lieper House, which dates from about 1785, near Swarthmore, Pennsylvania. From the texture of the ancient stone wall, quarried across the creek from the house, to the wild play of light in the window panes reflecting nearby tree branches, this photo just turns me on... lovely liquid light lingering... poetry in motion !
