The windows in Post office building in Tomb Street, Belfast are reflective and depending on the time of day and the light can present scope for interesting images. Sometimes when viewed from the Lagan Weir footbridge the shipyard cranes, Samson and Goliath, are reflected in the glass, although this also depends on the position of the cranes as well as the time of day and light.
The first image below shows the Custom House and the building known as The Boat reflected in the glass. I spent some time changing position and angles but couldn’t get it quite right. This image was about the best, made that bit more interesting by the people walking by. Shortly after this photograph I realised how cold it was in the shadows of surrounding buildings and went for a walk to warm up

It was fortunate that I didn’t plan photographs from the Lagan Weir Footbridge as it was closed. I think I read that it was being replaced by a newer, better, bigger five million pound bridge.
I used to take photographs of The Big Fish every time I walked past. I don’t do this any more but decided I would do it today. I’m always tempted to clone out those distracting lamps behind it but I never have.
Belfast street signs have the name of the quarter they are in along with the quarter symbol. Some are now a bit battered and when I see a good one I photograph it. Should I have cloned out the plastic fork and cigarette butt?
