On the endless mirrored flats of Lake Tyrrell, a young woman stood alone upon the narrow platform, dressed in dark yoga pants that traced clean lines against the luminous salt landscape. Around her, the shallow water lay perfectly still, transforming the lake into a vast sheet of polished glass where sky and earth dissolved into one another.
She lifted her phone for a selfie, yet the moment became more than a simple photograph. Her reflection floated beneath her in the water — soft, elongated, almost dreamlike — while the platform itself seemed suspended between two worlds, one real and one mirrored. The pale horizon faded into silver-blue distance, and the silence of the Mallee wrapped around her like open air in a cathedral of salt.
For an instant, she appeared multiplied by the lake: the woman above, the reflection below, and the surrounding sky holding both together in a single luminous frame. In that fleeting act of self-portraiture, modern ritual met ancient landscape — the glow of a phone screen against a terrain shaped by wind, salt, and geological time.

So stunning. A camera selfie, but also nature's selfie in the water reflection. And the platform, It looks like something suspended between two parallel universes.
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun snap at the time
DeleteEspectacular!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great photo :-D
ReplyDeleteGreat capture.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend.
All the best Jan
What a terrific reflection. Did you hire her as a photo model? She seems to be calling in a school of fish as she holds her phone high. Perhaps she is a wizard?
ReplyDeleteNah, she was another visitor that tries to get images of sky mirror in the area
DeleteTHis is fantastic. On all aspects. Beautiful work

ReplyDeleteAwesome click
ReplyDeleteVery nice composition.
ReplyDeleteDouble selfie - nice!
ReplyDeleteGood and funny photo of the times we live in, I am yet to even think about using my smartphone as a camera.
ReplyDeleteLove it the way you composed it, black and white and the reflection in the water, it all looks wonderful and I can imagine that in a frame on a wall.
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful! But even without the reflection, it's a graceful, attractive pose. Lots of interest in this one!
ReplyDeleteExcellent shot!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'd love it if that woman happened to accidentally find this on your blog -- it's such an amazing photo -- both the moment and then the reflection.
ReplyDelete"multiplied by the lake" -- wonderful
ReplyDeleteUnos reflejos muy oportunos y bien vistos, un acierto la clave alta, bonita foto.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
Es una foto especial en la que nos muestras en blanco y negro ese selfi que la mujer se hace y en tu foto se la ve reflejada en el lago. También la veo especial al no mostrarnos el colorido de ese lago que tanto juego da según en que días para fotos especiales.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
I love this shot.
ReplyDeleteExcellent reflections in the salty waters of this lake.
ReplyDeleteEm sembla un composició genial, gairebé amb poques línies.
ReplyDeleteSalutacions.
