Reflection. Leitz Summicron 35mm V4
I looked up to notice the lampshades over the dining table reflected in a watercolor painted by my late mom back in 1970. Every winter vacation, back then in South Africa, my family would pilgrimage to the little town of Grahamstown - now called Makhanda - so Mom could visit her big sister, Cousin Crispin25's mom. Grahamstown, at that time, was a delightful little college town, filled with charming early 19th century architecture, and imbued with a very strong English character. Mom was inspired by it, and would set off with her watercolor kit to record the scenes she had discovered in the backstreets. I find this painting to be one of her most evocative, and enjoy casting a glance at it each day as I walk past. It's nice to reflect.
