At last I've found something to diminish the sheer effrontery of Warsaw's Palace of Culture and Science (Stalin's Gift): a humble car park puddle. Since I don't want to diminish the diminishment, follow this link to see the Palace in its domineering glory.
I'm posting this in Paula's Thursday's Special challenge, where the theme is serendipitously Opposites.

I’m honoured Meg, and I like your reflection. This is so very clever too 🙂 Thank you.
Your flattering comment on my first puddle reflection encouraged me to hunt puddles – and welcome rain. However I’m ambivalent. Puddles are an irresistible attraction for the twins, and Maja especially is pitiful if she gets wet.

I like the way you’ve managed to bring this grandeur down to earth!
I think the man standing nearby thought I was mad, but I’m used to that.
Me too!
Ha, perfectly cut down to size! 😀 I am used to strange looks from passersby too. I guess most bloggers are!
I’m a bit startled to find how much blogging shapes my photographic world view: I even find myself taking back-view photos of the twins so I can use them in a post! I used to preach the importance of audience as English teacher and literacy consultant, but I’m only just seeing what an effect it can have – fountains for Gilly, owls for Paula and my daughter, pretty things for Jo. And it goes on! My vision expanded.
I agree Meg about blogging and photographs I find the blogging story quite often shapes the photos I take. I will now start looking at puddles in quite a different way. Mind you we don’t get a lot of puddles over here as not much rain and then they do dry up very quickly. I love this one you have captured…
Another new obsession!
It’s what keeps the old brain box active… 🙂
