These incredible photographs of mirrored cityscapes were taken by photographers from around the world. Each picture shows a different city at different times during the day, with its skyline reflecting into a body of water. It’s a spectacular sight to see the similarities and differences of cities in vastly different locations.

This video done by Brussup has to seen to be believed. Or not believed, whichever the case may be. I’ve read that it has something to do with camera trickery, but I prefer to fantasize about a 24 hertz sine wave, anti-gravity, water fountain in my front yard.

I have lived in and loved Mexico City. It’s a thrilling metropolis, underrated completely and with energy and imagination unlike any other. But when in Mexico, you don’t drink the water. It’s one of those ‘rules’. And that is precisely part of what makes Casa del Agua – literally house of water – so intriguing. Ironic even. The water at this Mexico City boutique is bottled, of course. Rainwater is collected through a teak patio and garden then filtered and purified on site a thousand different ways (including running over stones with the words “love,” “respect” and “gratitude”) until it reaches its “highest potential.”

One day Sophia Collier was walking across a bridge and wished she could just reach down into the water and pick up a piece of that shining surface and keep it forever.

After first running across this video the other day, I haven’t been able to take my mind off the idea of what other possible applications this medium could lend itself to. It evokes a spectrum of immersive capabilities. The quality of the image is stunning and I’m sure quite haunting when experienced in person.
