For this photo challenge, show us what “refraction” means to you. It could be an image taken in a reflective surface, it could be light bent from behind an object, or it could mean remedial math homework: the choice is completely up to you. I’m looking forward to seeing how you interpret “refraction.”
Well that’s a tough one Kevin! But I’m giving it a go. back in June a had a birthday day out to Broomhill Sculpture Garden in north Devon. I posted photos a couple of times because I absolutely love sculpture and there is some remarkable work there. For some reason I held back the photos of one of my favourites, this challenge turns out to be why. I remember turning the corner on a wooded path and seeing this amazing blue light. Every movement you make around it shows a different image, I hope you like it as much as I did.
‘This piece, ‘The Gateway’ is by Alex Glass, a London based artist, check him out here,http://www.alexanderglasssculpture.com/#_=_

Beautiful photos. I wish I could see that sculpture in person. I guess that’s one of the disadvantages to living smack in the middle of nowhere. Cheers, Dave.
How wonderful. My first thought was “through a looking glass”, a blue one. Although this photo intrigues me, I imagine the effect is much more powerful in person. Great shots, Gilly. Thanks for sharing.
certainly very different and perfectly apt for challenge..
Absolutely gorgeous, Gilly. What a brilliant sculpture! 🙂
Photos don’t do it justice, we spent ages playing around it!
Fancy that! I was going to use this as a prompt for 100WC ( for the children) one week. yours are SO much better than mine.Can I magpie one?
Of course you can if it helps, do you need a full size one? Isn’t it a gorgeous piece?
We loved it too! I’ll let you know nearer the dying. Thank you!!
Interesting. I like this. The artist has a most apt name!
That’s quite an effect; like a magical dream.
What an amazing find, Gilly. You are always right there where the uniqueness is.
FANTASTIC PHOTO. MESMERIZING COLOR. IT’S UNCANNY.
This is so magical Gilly…..I want a glass doorway like this….the shots taken through it are so creative, bending reality a little is always good fun 🙂
I always enjoy seeing outdoor sculptures in gardens. They’re unique and thought provoking. This one looks like it reflects the garden. The blue color is so pretty. I think it’s perfect for the challenge.
Have a Blessed weekend !!! 😘
Sooo beautiful, Gilly. The images look like they were taken from Monet’s garden. Great choice for the challenge.
Invite you to watch a new photo album on my blog.
I wish you a successful new week.
Lovely colors and invites one into the enchantment of your gardens.
Public art, especially sculpture, really enriches our lives doesn’t it.
Interesting take on the challenge, and an interesting sculpture. How coincidental (?!) that the glass sculptor’s name is Glass.
Must be so much nicer to see in person. Like walking into a dream or magical forest. Very creative.
Very beautiful and creative! And, the image changes, wow! Thank you for sharing Lucid!
How delightful is this! Such a great find. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I really love that first and second shot, Gilly. I can imagine playing for hours 🙂
Beautiful glass art that must have reflected (and refracted) light in interesting ways.
I can imagine your delight when you stumbled upon this Gilly. Utterly gorgeous!
The whole sculpture garden is mesmerising in every direction 🙂
