Tourist Trap and Reflections
Not a normal subject for me but I could not resist the multiple images in the window. Hard to tell what is real and what is reflected or magnified. We had gone to Moosehead Lake, ME from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park to visit friends. This image was taken in Greenville, ME not far from their lake house. So, while not a normal subject for me, it does represent my life long interest in all things “graphic”.
Absolutely wonderful image.
Well, I could say we are all in our own little bubbles these days, looking at the same thing, but with a little shift in point of view. Without the help of the title “Tourist Trap,” I was looking at this image as though it were through soap bubbles – again, a comment on how much we are scrubbing up whenever we touch “foreign” objects. The light palette of color makes me think of “light” and positivity.
I think nothing like this would have occurred to me a year ago. I would have likely remarked on the “circus” feel of tinted, transparent balloons happily floating above. I am waiting to have that Pollyanna outlook soon.
An amazing and wonderful image, David; I am so glad that you stepped outside your “normal subject zone” to share this! I see that the little medallions on the stool behind the middle balloon?bottle? have very cheerful mottoes, too: “live laugh love”; “happy camper”. Good messages to mull over in these parlous times!
This is delightful and will keep me looking at it for a long time. A great change of pace for you and for your viewers.
YES! What a wonderfully complex and appealing piece! So much to visually decode.

All your comments are very much appreciated. It’s always fun to step “outside” one’s comfort zone every once and awhile.
