Club Dobogomajor cabin in Hungary

That Picture by JaguarJulie! See that picture of the cabin with the reflections in water? I took that very picture whilst on our vacation to Hungary when we stayed at Club Dobogomajor.

One afternoon we were walking around the grounds of the timeshare resort when a photo opportunity presented itself. It’s reflections of the resort cabin in the swimming pool. Talk about the "art of reflection!"

But when Snow White reaches the age of seven, she becomes as beautiful as the day, and when the queen asks her mirror, it responds: 'Queen, you are full fair, 'tis true, but Snow White is fairer than you.' Though in another version, the mirror simply replies: 'Snow White is the fairest of them all.'" --Snow White, the rest of the story.

Reflections of my life
Oh how they fill my eyes

The greetings of people in trouble
Reflections of my life
Oh how they fill my eyes

Oh my sorrows
Sad tomorrows
Take me back to my own home."
--Reflections Of: The Anthology by Marmalade
