Reflection of the waters of the Red Sea off the shore of Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt

Being in Sharm el Sheikh is very different from the rest of the main places in Egypt (such as the Pyramids, Valley of the Kings, Abu Simbel, etc) in the sense that all these places show the monuments that highlight the prominence and importance of ancient Egypt (especially the power of the pharaohs and the architecture they had created so long back - 35 to 45 centuries back). Most visitors to Egypt come to see these monuments, and most tourist packages also highlight trips to such monuments; there are few such trips that tourists take to go visit Sharm el Sheikh. At the same time, there are a large number of tourists who do know about the attractions of Sharm el Sheikh, such as the temperate weather that does not go into the 40's that other parts of Egypt reach during the summer; the beaches, and most of all, the presence of the large number of marine life, drawn by the coral beaches (now under government protection to ensure that these natural structures do not get impacted in any way) that also provide venues for people to do snorkeling or scuba diving. This photo is a reflection of the Red Sea as seen in the window of one of the yachts that take tourists to the various scuba diving or snorkeling locations.

Depiction of the temple complex at the small museum before you enter the Karnak temple

The temple complex at Karnak was built over a period of time, being part of the capital city of Thebes, and had the contribution of as much as 30 pharaohs in the various temples. Many of these buildings are now in a state of ruins, and all of them are not even accessible by tourists.
In the hall that also serves as a mini museum at the entrance to the site, there is a model that shows the entire complex of the Karnak temple (and the temple complex is supposed to be so big that it cannot be visited in one day).

Side view of sculptures framed in a glass frame

A side view of some historic and ancient sculptures put behind a glass frame inside the City palace in Jaipur. In a part of the glass, you can see a clear reflection of some people standing.

View inside and outside a shop

When I see a bit sheet of glass, there is always the curiosity about whether I can capture both the inside of the glass and the outside (in this case, the road). This is a shop in London, and if you look closely, you can see both the inside and the outside of the shop very easily.

London City Hall

A photo of London City Hall that also shows an under-construction building right next to it. In addition, you can see a boat tied up in front of it.

Flashes of sunlight on building along the Thames

These buildings are just next to the Thames in London, and the only specialty of them in this photo is that the glass face of these buildings is reflecting the shine of the sunset, and it can look beautiful.

Sun shining off a window next to the Thames

I have always been fascinated by the effect of the sun on glass, through clouds, on water, etc. So you can guess why this photo was taken ? The sun was in such a position that the glass of these windows on this building right next to the Thames was reflecting the light of the sun very strongly.
