Wow, that is one shiny sphere!!! Gorgeous shots Sheila, and i have to say i love the second one even more. That black, shiny sphere makes all the other colours come alive in a way. Great entry!!!

How come we say 'It's colder than hell outside' when isn't it realistically always colder than hell since hell is supposed to be fire and brimstone?

More great shot's Shelia!! I like the second one best as it shows off the reflections more. Looks like the kids are trying to see their reflections on that ball. You must have had fun shooting these and what a great place to explore. The pillars of that building and those trees intrigue me.

Noeline :D

Thanks a bunch, Noeline!!!!!! yeah, the kids love the ball 'cause the water's cool on their hands when they touch it and it's cool to see all the reflections. pssssst that building with the pillars that you're intrigued with...it's the entrance to a restroom area*!!!! :) thanks girl!

Hey Sheila!

That WATER GLOBE seem like a MAGNET for CANDID shots! Might be worth it to go back and get some more! Good practice! Also the GLOBE itself makes for an intereting subject! Would be cool to get some shots of it...from say a worms perpective...I just see alot of potential here!
