Shine

There is something amazing about the floors and outside pavements here, the incredible shininess. I don’t know how they keep them looking like that, but they do. This was taken at the hospital, where I have always been impressed by the reflections. I missed a capture of it on the ground floor, where it was just dazzling but with too many people around, plus I was in a wheelchair so hard to get the right picture. This is my makeup capture, sadly not nearly as spectacular.

You would think with all the sand there they would have a really hard time keeping things sparkling…but this is sparkly shiny! V

Neat shot - difficult to tell where the reflections start. V
PS I've noticed the amazingly shiny floors in so many of your shots of shopping centres, etc.

A lot of work to keep it polished. My shoes squeak on floors like that...
