Me at the park

My image is reflected in one of the mirrors hanging from the tree. ;-)

Me reflected in a mirror

I added the commentary after a few comments. I realized the mirrors weren't noticeable if you didn't know they were there.

I actually did not take the shot. I met a woman in the park and we were walking together. When she stopped to take reflections in the mirrors, I stood to one side and she just happened to get a shot with me in it. It was nice of her to share the pic with me.

I don't know what magic hour is. Time was between 4:30 and 5:00. I know that because the place closed at 4:30 - they have light display in the evening and want people out earlyish - and I was thinking we'd overstayed our time.

That's it actually - depending on the day. "Magic hour" or golden hour is photography/cinematography term for "a period shortly after sunrise or before sunset during which daylight is redder and softer compared to when the Sun is higher in the sky."

The lady took a very nice picture - she knew what she was doing!
