Ice skating

We popped into Somerset House in London this afternoon where they have had an ice rink set up for the last month or so, sadly only this one person was on it. Somerset House is a lovely old building and you can just see the reflection of it in the surface of the rink. I have never tried ice skating and wasn't tempted today!

  1. Great shot, Justine...I love the reflection of the building in the ice. Too bad the rink wasn't full of skaters. Where are your skates?

  3. What a great shot! The glass is so perfectly smooth and I love the way the old building is reflected in it. The single skater seems to add a quiet serenity to the image. Beautiful.

  5. Maybe sad for the venue, but great for your photography to have only one person. The reflection of the building in the ice and the lines of the rink are really neat. And I like your new blog header photo too!
