Reflections can transform familiar surroundings into something that
looks completely different.
A puddle on a quiet street, for example, may reflect buildings,
trees, and passing vehicles so clearly that the image resembles
a miniature city beneath the ground.
If a photographer crouches low enough, the actual street may occupy
only a small portion of the frame while the reflection dominates
the picture.
The result can make it difficult to determine which side of the
photograph is the real scene.
This effect becomes particularly striking after rain, when smooth
water surfaces create unexpected mirrors in ordinary places.
