Landmarks Photographed In Bubbles

Stunning landmarks captured in the reflection of a bubble By Lee Moran Last updated at 1:09 PM on 7th September 2011 He's not your typical tourist - preferring to turn his back on some of the world's most stunning landmarks. But instead of shunning the attractions completely, Tom Storm actually blows a bubble and then photographs the beautiful swirling venue in its reflection. It has led to a host of incredible dream-like images of New York's Times Square, a windmill in Copenhagen and the Washington Monument. Lovely bubbly: Photographer Tom Storm beautifully captures a windmill in Copenhagen, in Denmark, in this dream-like image World in a bubble: Cloud Gate in Chicago is reflected in this photograph The Philadelphia photographer developed his technique five years ago while on holiday in Ireland. He said: 'While roaming around a street fair in Galway I snapped off a few shots of bubbles floating past, and their reflections were huge. 'When I returned home I started looking through what I captured to find this whole world reflected in a single bubble.  'A few months later I was living in Poland and decided to make it a personal mission to try to capture a landmark from every country in the world. 'With the help of a friend, my first deliberate bubble was in Neptune's Fountain in Gdansk. 'Part of the mission is to capture the reflections of major landmarks in different countries around the globe. I have so many plans. I've still have a lot of ground to cover with the project.
