A Tangled Angle

As I strolled through the puddley cobblestone streets of Brugge, Belgium my anticipation of great shot opportunities was replaced with the ever-present dreary clouds and light rain drops. Still, I was so impressed with Brugge, I couldn't stop shooting. As the sixth hour of shooting approached, the weight of my camera impacted my neck so that I was continually looking down. Then I saw it: the reflection of The Belfry clock tower in Grote Markt. The puddle through which I saw the reflection encased a number of cobblestones, thus adding an additional level to the image's depth. To accomplish the preferred framing, I had to shoot backward and bending at an odd angle. The result was a simple, yet busy tangle of depths and distortions. This shot was well worth the day of mediocre weather and turned out to the inspiration for the name of this blog.
