Reflection

[Thad E Ginathom]

A beautiful puzzle. Very well composed.
If only we knew how to unify the contradiction in the statements made by the two reflections, one in still and the other in flowing water.

There is no contradiction. The still pool of water is much higher.
There are very few things that stuck in my head from school physics. This is one: the angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection
It's a very nice picture. I like the building in the background!

My post was more philosophical in nature, concerning the contradiction inherent in something which remains still and flows simultaneously, like the two reflections of the sun in the image.
But I will settle for Physics over Philosophy, anytime.

I don't object to philosophy, but physics seemed the more appropriate tool in this case  ;D
