This image is 2 days old and smells like enhanced reality. However it is a genuine still of my biotope Amsterdam. In that street, inside that house, a silver sphere shaped lamp plus a silver xmass decoration where suspended in front of the window. Maybe the people inside that house knew I walked down that street with my camera ready.
What you see are 3 mirror images; 1) the furniture inside of the house 2) the buildings on the opposite side of the house reflected in the window glass 3) the street further on in a lens type reflection (and me in the corner). To me the street looks like an echo of a ’clean’ calvinistic era. Or maybe I should say like a harbinger of neo-calvinism.

Ps. I stilled this image in april 2007 in the cellars of Stedelijk Museum building at the Oosterdokskade, Amsterdam.
