Description
Port Townsend has a lot of 1890-ish buildings in its downtown area, and we spent yesterday morning walking around taking pictures. I got a lot of shots of actual architectural detail (surprise!), but I also spent a lot of time looking in store windows and lining up reflections of those buildings, as well.
This store had a great display of colorful clothes, fabric daisies, and brightly printed umbrellas. When we first drove through town on Monday, I spotted this window and swore I'd come back for a bit of a photo shoot!
The building across the street is the Mount Baker Block building. If you click the link and check the bottom of the page, it explains why there's construction paraphernalia in the middle of the street.

An incredibly beautiful display of the window and its stunning reflections, Dear Tara! I like the subtlety and softness of the details, and yet seems like such a happening place outside and beyond the window as well! Luxurious image!

Really cool photo. I like the reflection of the old building in the glass.

A really great shot and so awesome reflections and colors :-)

A whole lotta layers of stuff here, and great colours to boot! You are truly the queen of reflection photography. And I wonder if the store owners thought you were a competitor trying to steal their window decorating ideas?

Excellent, these type of images play havoc with the circular polarizer manufacturers hehe!

Fantastic reflection shot. I love the rich colors & the perfect balance between the items in the window & the reflected items...

Well done - using the reflections as well as the window display gives a nice sense of place to this image.

Great job Tara. You must be in seventh heaven. Port Townsend is a beautiful town and I like the fact that on a clear day one can see Mt. Baker and Mt. Rainier, white (snow covered) all the way down. I was never in Port Townsend there when I was stanioned at Paine Field, just couldn't afford it, plus our priorities were different then!

Hmmm...two of those people have daisy-heads! I think there's a story in there, somewhere! And those reflections are amazing. There's so much to see, so much within so much to see. The reflections are quite hypnotic and the colors are super. This rocks.

great!!!

So much to see...makes me think about Lewis Carroll's, "Through the Looking Glass". So many plot lines here... Like it!

Very cool and colorful reflections - the mannequins' heads replaced by daisies is a very humorous touch! Nicely seen, Tara!

Great capture Hugs Susan~

you've always had an acute eye for the collision of forms & hues on reflective surfaces, and the ambiguous play of reality & reflection; and how they all converge in a single shot. This is a prime example. It seems like a collage done on canvas, or made with pieces of many photographs. The collision of all these forms is tumultuous and giddy, and the broad swaths created by the garments on the mannequins seem like large 'painted' areas, painted over the reflected buildings as an act of willful choice by the artist. Those choices, of course, are yours---even though you didn't place the clothes in the window: That is, the choice is in your angle, how you chose to capture the 'collisions' and in your postwork (if any) which seems to equalize everything so everything speaks equally throughout. More teeming reflection work from you. They make quite a powerful series.
