Weekend Reflection: somewhere near Lake Merritt

While circumnavigating the lake, I spied this reflection near Grand and Lakeside.  I was in a hurry and forgot to get the name of the building.  Only after I got home did I realize that there were two reflections in this shot.  For Weekend Reflections from around the world, click here.


FYI:  I'm traveling and still having difficulty posting pictures and leaving comments.

    Good one, Carolyn!
    That's the bank building at Broadway and Grand, but «Louis» doesn't remember the name of it either - it seems to change almost weekly according to the bank buyout du jour...

    Very nice capture. Don't you hate it when you forget that archive shot? I do it all the time. Well we like it with or without a name!

    You might even say there are more if you include the car's windows. But they can't match the large one!

    I always appreciate building reflections, but there's something about this one that jumps out at me. Maybe it's the clarity, or maybe it's the color ... but I LIKE it!!!

    Carolyn, «Louis» happened to be driving down Broadway today. There is no longer a bank in the space on the ground floor. The building is now called "80 West Grand".

    Great reflections. I love when I find something I didn't notice in a photo--especially when it adds interest to the shot!

    Wonderful shot! So did you slam on the brakes to take this one? LOL

    I love it when you study a photo and find things you didn't realize were there when you took the shot. Of course, sometimes there are things visible you wish weren't. ;)

    Have a great weekend!

    It's like seeing two sides of the city. the amount of light complements this photo really well!

    The gold color and the distorted view reflected onto the very upright/proper glass building is just great.
    Thank you for your well wishes for my 2nd! I enjoy your city-view so much.
