Mysterious Happening On King's Parade




Strolling along King's Parade in Cambridge
when I caught a glimpse,
a fleeting flash,
of a strange, alien street
but
oddly familiar.
I turned back and peered at
a window,
a reflection,
a dreamscape.

I don't know what's going on here and I can't work out how many images are
 superimposed on one another. What you see above is a straight photo with just a little sharpening and cropping. Just goes to show there's nothing as bizarre as reality.

Take care.

    ...some special effects? The photo taken through a window? Whatever, I like your leadup and the image is fun

    A fleeting glimpse of Diagon Alley, perhaps?

    (Nice image!)

    I would like to think it's Diagon Alley.

    Excellent, John. Sometimes I see something that I can't explain, and the only things to do are to enjoy it and take out the camera . . .

    I like the Diagon Alley theory:)

    That is amazing and somehow quite beautiful! I too like the idea of Diagon Alley:)

    Uncanny but a marvellous image John and proof, I suppose, that the camera does lie.

    No special effects other than the mysteries created by reflections from multiple windows. Thanks for your reflections!!!
