Distorted Realities

Austin Central Public Library

Walking around Austin can often result in finding hidden gems in the cityscape. The opportunities are varied and revealing, with many buildings using mirror exteriors. The image above reflects old power plant stacks opposite the Austin Public Library building. Below, I share three other mirror reflections, including a selfie.

Museum of Ice Cream

And yes, the Museum of Ice Cream has plenty of mirror fun inside — not to mention unlimited ice cream for its visitors.

That is the story behind the shots.

    Lovely collection of reflections in windows. Are the middle two street level views?

      Thanks, Leanne. They looked a bit different from usual mirror reflections I get.

      Thanks, Margaret. I probably need to go back to the ice cream museum. i’ll probably wait until it warms up more.

    I love these distorted reflections, especially the history museum. And the Museum of Ice Cream sounds like fun!

      Thanks, Sarah. The other two reflections are on the bizarre side.

      Thanks, Anne. A couple of them looked very bizarre to my eyes. The history museum was more like your traditional reflection.

I'd love hearing back from you. Let me know if you have any questions or something is not working on the site.
