A Blessing In Disguise (Jan 2010)

Remember those days when you're walking in a park when it's all quiet, and you're looking into the water and you see the reflection of the clear blue sky. Just when you were thinking: It looks beautiful, something crashes into the water, causing a disturbance, and that image you were once marvelling at suddenly shatters.
Then, you look closer, and you realise. The ripples are dividing themselves continuously, at times clashing softly into the other ripples in the water. With the ripples in the water it looks even more beautiful. Isn't it simply a blessing in disguise?
My purpose of taking this picture was to was paint out a scenery that seems to move slowly with time as the viewer takes it all in. In this picture, I also exploited the amazing quality of the water to be able to reflect an image, to compare it to a mirror, something broken rather easily, like how the "something" crashed into the water, breaking apart the peaceful image before.
