Reflections in Reflections in Refl...

Due to the heat I am just watching the birds through the windows so any posting of birds will be out of the archives. I think I will clear off some table space and set up for macro work. I have a lot of misc stuff and subjects I have gathered for that.
Friday the 26th I was at Kaiser Riverside in Audiology for ear tests and a referral to an ENT. Audiology is on the 5th floor of the #2 building (actually attached to #1-the Hospital on the east so they form a U with a 1 story section filling the hollow in the U.
After I finished the tests and came out I looked through the waiting room windows that face into the U and noticed all the reflections within reflections. Not my usual type of subject but I love reflections of the wading birds on the water so I snapped 4 shots, 2 looking straight across to Bld #1 and 2 at an angle toward the connecting part that forms the bottom of the U.
A pair of the 1st straight across - original and leveled and cropped, the second straight across with vertical correction and PP only and two of the angled shots of the base of the U one with verticals corrected in the second.
I tried some different PP on each (the most useful was "dehaze") including color temp to try and bring out the reflections. The last two show the view to the west, that other building is the #3 Medical Office building which is connected to #1 by a second and third floor bridge with open walkway under it. The trees in between are in the open walkway between the buildings. You can't see it but since it was Friday that whole walkway, about 1/2 block long is solid temp booths on both sides for a farmer's market and health products swap meet.
These are taken through double or triple pane mirrored safety glass with my little Panasonic ZS6 pocket camera.

Upon further reflection, that's a lot of reflections. Good eye.
I'll bet you read Robert Asprin also. If you don't, try his stuff, it is still available, in his Myth Adventures he tries for the "most puns per page" championship.
Thanks

Very interesting and unusual set.
Thanks
As an image I am not certain about them. But as an exercise in looking in the reflections as they reflect back and forth like two mirrors facing each other they have a fascination.
