distracted

an odd encounter distracted me while taking this image...a well dressed woman stopped to ask what I was photographing, and I said the building across the street, which is where the camera on the tripod was already pointed...then she asked what was the building in the reflection and I pointed out that we were standing beside it...then she asked if the reflection was often there, and I replied yes, likely every night in fact...I quickly took the shot, and grabbed the gear to move on, and so she finally left, saying that I really should be photographing the moon (which was not visible from here at all)...shooting at night in the city can produce some unusual moments

You know you saw them but no-one ever listens They'll be long gone by the time the sun has risen
You feel 'em lurking, hear 'em howling in the shadows Wreaking havoc on your perfect world
They are the tricking trolls They got the bell that tolls Flash at the edge of your sight
They only come out at night
