Palace Reflections Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hello Everyone!
This a small part of the Palace Hotel in the Lost City, Sun City. Behind the big pillars right by the waterfront, is a restaurant called the 'Crystal Court', one of only two in the Palace! Stunning place, but too 'larny' for my taste, I prefer simpler things. Anyhow, above that, you can see the balconies of the rooms which the guests get to indulge in, since it is the best Sun City has to offer. Many celebrities have stayed in these rooms and this was where Oprah Winfrey along with a troop of Hollywood celebrities chose to spend their nights when she decided to have an African New Years bash for 2007. A bit of useless information, but I hope you like! :-)

Hello Costa,

Very nice picture. Reflection is superb and the colours selected are great. The complexity of lines makes it to confuse with a magical draw. Very well done.

Hi, Costa. Rather impressive reflections - it could be a drowned palace ;). I like monochromatics and clears tones here.
Best wishes. Grazyna.

Geia sou Costa,
very nice the reflections of the Palace Hotel on the water with these great details.Your point of view gives such fine lines to your composition with this wonderful view of the building.Excellent the light and the colours.The sun that falls above in the upper part of the hotel makes your capture most luminous.Well done.
Regards,Danos
