Welcome to the collection of images dedicated to the natural phenomenon of reflection in water! If you are looking for high-quality photographs that showcase the reflection of various objects on the surfaces of bodies of water, you have come to the right place. In this selection, you will find images capturing diverse types of reflections on the water’s surface – from calm ponds and lakes to raging rivers and sea bays.

Reflection in water occurs when light rays reaching the surface of a liquid are partially or completely returned, creating a mirror-like image of surrounding objects. Depending on the condition of the water and the angle of light incidence, the reflection can be sharp and realistic or distorted and blurry. Often, reflected outlines of trees, sky, clouds, mountains, buildings, and other landscape or architectural elements are captured in the frame.

In such images, one can see a variety of natural conditions: from the smooth, mirror-like surface of a lake clearly showing the shapes of vegetation and mountain slopes, to slight ripples on the water creating whimsical distorted patterns. Reflections can be found in shallow puddles after rain or on the surface of quiet reservoirs, as well as in sea bays and coastal areas with marine vegetation and rocky shores.

These photographs often reflect different temporal and seasonal states of nature: from summer thickets and bright green surroundings to autumn leaf fall and winter landscapes with ice and snow. Reflection objects can be either living nature – trees, grass, clouds, birds – or man-made structures: bridges, buildings, boats, piers.

Reflection in water demonstrates a wide range of environmental conditions and can vary depending on the time of day, weather phenomena, and the state of the water surface. This collection is especially valuable for those interested in studying the interaction of light and water, features of landscapes and urban environments, presented through the lens of a natural mirror.
