Weekend Reflections - Downtown Columbus

I missed Weekend Reflections last week, due to a trip out of town for a family wedding. While we were there, we took the time to photograph some of the local sights. I've already shown you Friendship Cemetery, as well as the family farm and a wedding. These are a couple of shots that we took in downtown Columbus.

I like the way the doorway cut the reflection of the SUV in half. And I love the juxtaposition of the old theatre with the sat dishes on top of the building next door.

I shot this because the thought of a "House of Bacchus" in Columbus, Mississippi just had me rolling on the floor laughing. The distorted reflections were an added bonus.

Make sure to stop by and visit James and see some amazing reflection photography.

What I like of this meme are the various reflections: in windows, in mirrors and in water. Another kind of reflection is a kind of meditation.
You showed reflections in your photos.Have a great day! Thanks for your visit!

Nice reflection in the entrance window. I like the contrast between the colorful front of the right building and the empty back of the left one.

We have two old theatres in town and I just love them, one has been restored but unfortunatly the other was gutted, what a crime. Kat you are so obeservant. You see all the little nuances of a scene, that is what make a great photographer. Kathysue

A House of Bacchus is really a lot of fun... Nice reflection, either.

You have a delightful sense of humor and your reflection shots are wonderful. Thank and have a nice day.

Very nice! I really like old theaters but I have to admit that I'm not a fan of satellite dishes and modern cars when I want to photograph one. They always seem to be there though. :) I was thinking wine store when I saw "House of Baccus" then I saw the domestic beer signs. :)
Now I'm wondering what the theater looks like inside.

Hi there! My niece tried flying out of Columbus yesterday ~ but the rain kept her grounded .... a few more delays today, but she is in the air! I do enjoy visiting Columbus when I travel to Athens for a Sister visit.

Dianne said...

very nice shots
I love the color of the building

I agree, the juxtaposition of the old building with the satellite dishes is neat :-) And love how the SUV is cut in half -- I've wanted to chop an SUV in half more than once!! ;-0

I agree, the tips I learned from Kimberley's Business of Design seminars can really apply to pretty much any business. And yes, working to live rather than living to work is the way to go!!

Nice shots...I like the distorted reflections...also all the different shades of red...

Belle (from Life of a...) said...

I love seeing old theaters like that. There is one in our hometown...the Palmetto Theater...except of course we called it the The-A-ter (with a long A). Spent many a Saturday afternoon sitting in the theAter with my friends at the 50 cents matinee. They don't show movies there anymore...it's been adopted by the local arts council and they do seminars, recitals, and plays.

I always find it amusing when I see satellite dishes on old buildings. Once in Salzburg we walked along the Monchsburg and saw old monks buildings with satellite dishes. If only the monks knew what they had been missing all those years.
