Your title reminded me of the old proverb “as above, so below.” That’s a paraphrase of the second verse of the Emerald Tablet, which first appeared in an Arabic source from the late eighth or early ninth century. The paraphrase is based on a Latin translation of the Emerald Tablet, in which the second verse says, “That which is above is like to that which is below, and that which is below is like to that which is above.” Your image captures that thought perfectly!
A lovely thought, that not just the sky is holding the clouds, but the river, too 🌞
🙂thanks Dave

Shoreacres! Thank you so much for that piece of history, knowledge and the connection from the Emerald Tablet!!!
What I miss in my environment is the water expanses, or even small rivers, to reflect our beautiful skies
Oh! I bet you do.
Gorgeous!

Perfect reflection 🤩 Saw a lot of these waters and sky mirrored scenes in Scotland.
I love it when the landscape multiplies itself like this.
