reflecting

So still was the air in downtown Los Angeles today that reflections on the water of the ponds outside LA Public Library reflected back the skyscrapers, the bird sculpture and the clouds so clearly that the pool doesn't look as though it has any water in it.  Indeed, even though I know that I was photographing upside down skyscrapers, I can't tell myself, now, what's a reflection and what's a granite tile - if, indeed, any of the tiles aren't blue.   It's most disorienting.
