It is funny how in English the term "reflection" can mean two different things. Either a mirror image or thoughtful pondering upon a particular matter. Is it the same in Swedish?
Yes YP, we have the double meaning in Swedish too. 'Reflektion' less commonly used here for mirror image, though - in everyday Swedish I'd chose 'spegelbild' (spegel=mirror, bild=image).
The trees are having their last burst of glory to delight us, before winter sets in. Lovely photos. I miss autumn, but not the cold, wet, winters that follow!

Beautiful scenes. I love October, when there are no storms!
They are gorgeous! Double the fall beauty!
Great shots.
The river really was a near-perfect mirror - gorgeous pictures!

Same here, JC... :)
Thanks Ginny :)
Thanks Jim
Thanks Meike. You know by now that I can't resist water reflections... :)
Carol, yes - I tend to think of it as nature's own "fireworks" before going into winter hibernation... ;-)
Just like I can't resist sunrises and sunsets :-)
Nearly the same in German - our word is Spiegelbild, and yes, we "reflect", too, not only in terms of a mirror.
Beautiful. Looks like nature is about to take a rest.
That's certainly not far away now, Amy.
