Here's one of my favorites, from a trip to Jacksonville, FL, I took a few years back.

Very nice! Mine is a reflection of the light in the St. John's River as it goes through downtown Jacksonville.

Here's a shot I took of the city skyline:

The first shot I posted comes from right around the reflection near the left side of the bridge.
