Those of you who know of my liking for reflective glass will understand that it was impossible for me to walk past this building without taking a picture or two.
It’s the rather uninteresting façade of a hotel on the Euston Road, London – a road that is a regular source of images for me. The light wasn’t brilliant on this particular day but that didn’t stop the windows putting on a great show. A combination of curtains and distorted views of the building opposite.
I love the colours you’ve captured here Andy. Each window seems to display an individual piece of art. Fascinating.

Thanks Adrian. It never ceases to amaze me how so many panes of glass supposedly precisely fitted can produce such varied reflections, although it has to be said that a lot of what is seen is, in part, the state of the curtains within the rooms.

Very well done, Andy. Each window is unique, each one would have been a nice photo but it’s so much better grouped together like this.

I think I will return to this next time when I am in the area with a longer lens and see how it looks on a different occasion.

Another in a series of great patterns while walking the streets Andy.

I keep seeing them every time I head down to London. And just about everywhere building that arrives is sheathed in glass, so there is know shortage of subject matter.

Marvellous set of patterns, Andy – I can quite see why you had to take this!

Thanks Melinda but no real planning on my part. I walked, I saw, I shot!!

I can’t remember where I was this past weekend — not in any urban center, that’s for sure! — but I saw a building with reflective windows and thought of you.
I’m particularly taken with the middle window in the top row. It’s so different from the others. Maybe I’m just sensitized to anything that looks like an eye these days. 🙂

Ha – you spotted the one window pane that actually reflects something with a degree of accuracy – the letter ‘O’ in the word Unison. The building immediately opposite is the HQ of one of the biggest trade unions in the UK named Unison.

Just my sort of thing, Andy – a rather drab building made fascinating by reflection, symmetry and a glimpse into the lives of those inside.

The rather flat light has added to that sense of drabness. I’d like to photograph it again on a proper sunny day.
