Reflecting at the Botanic Garden

A theme of b&w combined with architecture -- doesn't get any better than that! So this is for the second round of b&w hosted by @ukandie1 - http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/28712/black-and-white-challenge-2starts-today
I had my camera sensor cleaned today so went to the Chicago Botanic Garden to test it, just as the sun was setting and creating almost perfect reflections in the main pond. So nice to have an image and not have to clean spots out of it!
A colorful pano of the pond is in my extras album: http://365project.org/taffy/the-also-ran-ph/2016-10-24
