If you have been looking at these pages for any length of time, you know I love cemeteries, and you also know I love reflected light. So when I came across this puddle reflection on a tombstone after a rainstorm, I was close to heaven. And funny, the blue sky in the reflection is much closer to the real color than the bits of sky visible through the trees. So much dark surface in this image that the metering caused the real sky to get burned out a bit. This was in the Pantin-Aubervilliers Cemetery, just outside Paris, which at 107 hectares, or 264 acres, is the largest cemetery in France. And for another take on Tombstone Blues... click here. And as it is the weekend, and this is a reflection, let's put it up on Weekend Reflections over at James' place.

Hey, I used to have that album! Just about as scratchy as the one on YouTube, too.
It's almost like a big screen TV laid on the ground but this is better than TV. I love the way the reflection captures what's cut-off at the top of your photo.
Great song! Here's a song for you that came out around the same time as Dylan's.

I find cemeteries very beautiful myself. Nice capture!
The reflections of the trees in the water are beautiful...and the cemetery in the background adds och a lovely touch to the capture. genie
I like.
the light reflected in the water is so saturated it is remarkable. almost makes you think the reality that is reflected is more gripping that the reality that is being reflected!
all the best, owen, for a very happy and healthy 2013.
Now that is very beautiful.
Seems apt to be 'close to heaven' in a cemetery!
Happy new year Owen. Let's meet up again sometime soon this year.
I immediately thought of the title "The Doors of Perception: Heaven and Hell" by Aldous Huxley! A startling image indeed.
WOW!!! Incredible photo! I love this.
This is a gorgeous image - it looks like a portal to another world - Through the Tombstone? Greetings from Nice and Happy New Year...
wow, amazing... one of the most gripping cemetery reflections i have ever seen!
warm hugs :-)
Gorgeous! Reminds me of an image I took here once after a heavy rainstorm and one of the 'bone pads' filled up with water - I made it a black and white photo...must dig it out again! Happy New Year sunshine! xx
