well i was out looking for some mushrooms with my son.

He started quite soon to loose patiense and whining bout his legs started to hurt, it was boring, he wanted to go home etc.

When he had the most boring he started to sit down and just dissapear into his own thoughts, and this is one of those moments.

i guess he just found it totaly hopeless to find anything.

how it went, well we got maby 20 mushrooms...;P
tasted good but it wasnt much to be well fed on.


So here is my entry:

Not that the other enteries are bad, but they all seem to show light reflection, this one, Danzap, makes me think immediately about: "meditation" or "reflection" therefore you have my vote ! :)

lovely entries so far! my favourite right now is sam's - basically, because it covers both meanings of "reflection" at once.
so here's my little photo - been awefully busy the last few days, trying to wrap up my thesis...

because in german, these bike-reflectors are called "cat's eyes", the title is "nocturnal"

Ok heres mine!

Taken specially for the challange. In the City of Bath *UK* It was taken in the romen baths, the main attraction to Bath. The water comes naturally heated from a underground spring, that was walled and used by the romens in some years AD! The image is a bit green but thats the colour of the water...seeing as its untreated and just for viewing purposes now.

Here it is, and its called.......

Well, since none of the other mods noticed that the poll is missing and I'm nowhere to be found the poll is late :D.

Sorry guys, I have the worst headache ever and a fever.

Thread locked. On my way for the poll.
Great job everybody, this has to be one of the best challenges so far!

Cheers!
