Caught this on the way into work the other day. It looks like a typical snapshot… until you look a little closer. :-)
Strange. I've never seen it. Thanks for posting

The photo is a reflection in a puddle, flipped across the horizontal axis. The “stars” are the texture in the blacktop.

You've managed to do what relatively few --in either the images we're given or in the photographers who presented them-- manage to do: you've managed --to paraphrase eecummings (the American poet)-- to
"say it new". (That same poet said something to the effect that: 'the best way to view the moon is to see it reflected in a mud puddle', and while you were neither viewing or presenting the moon as such, the [faux, trompe l'oeil] stars/night-time sky you DID 'see', horizontally flip, and present likewise qualifies.
Having enlisted --having mindfully 'seen' and having thus presented-- these welcome and all too uncommon innovations, I'll say: serious kudos to you.

Looks like the Universe is closing in on us. But I really like your photo.
Thanks, Gene. I loved the sense of foreboding and the guy walking into work as though nothing is amiss.
