...scene of the Reichtsag elevator...

The history of mirrors dates back to ancient times when mankind first saw reflections in a pond or river and considered it magic. Long befor man was able to make mirrors out of glass, mirrors made of metal were used. Sheets of metal, mostley copper, was flattend and polished until it could be used as a mirror.

The mirror of the ancient Greeks and Romans was a disk of metal with a highly polished face, sometimes with a design on the back, and usually with a handle.

That mirrors were used in ancient times, can also be found in the bible

Much later, after the discovery of glass making, the Romans made mirrors out of glass by finishing them with a metall layer.

After the discovery of glassblowing in the 14th century, mirrors were made out of glass bulbs. The glassblower blew a glass bulb that while still hot, was filled with a mixture of metalls such as lead, antimony and tin, through the blowingpipe. After cooling the bulbs, they were cut in pieces, thus forming little hollow (convex) mirrors.At the end of the Middle Ages this type of producing mirrors with liquid metalls, did evolve into the production of mercury mirrors.
The chemical process of coating a glass surface with metallic silver was discovered in the 19th century.
Present-day mirrors are made by sputtering a thin layer of molten aluminum or silver onto the back of a plate of glass in a vacuum.


Mirrors, along with labyrinths, figure prominently in the work of Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges, who often used them as symbols of infinity, impersonation, and illusion.

A great photo with so much to study and so much to see. The camera sticking out of the croWd is a tell tale sign, amonst the reflected masses there's a treker. The repetition is great.
I am not too fond of the frame the red does not appeal to me. I love your note and I would like to know more about the Reichtsag elevator itself.

Hello Markos,what a great picture this is !POV is perfetc and ,,,I want to take this elevator.

What an awesome photo, the reflection is that good that I would never guess that it was you in the reflection, and just love the long line of people.

Kalimera Markos.
¿No te dijeron nada cuando te vieron con la cámara?
Me gusta. Original y bien resuelta.
Además es un curioso autoretrato.

Ta leme file mou.

Hola Markos.

Madre mia, cierta pasión en miembros de TE empieza a dar miedo. Pagaste derechos de imagen?

Impresiona la sensación esta de estrés y agobio. Muy bien lograda.

Un saludo, Oscar

Γειά σου Μάρκο

Χάθηκες βρε παιδί! :)

Εξαιρετική και "κλειστοφοβική" φωτογραφία με τόσο κόσμο μαζεμένο σε ένα τέτοιο στενό μέρος. Όμορφο το βάθος και ο φωτισμός. Η καράφλα του ψηλού κυρίου ξεχωρίζει ωσάν φάρος! :)
