Puddle II

Welcome to our living room. You'll find it takes a certain "bonkers" way of thinking about things to hang out here. No one will ever ask you to leave, but you might feel uncomfortable being here if "our tribe don't dig your vibe." The emphasis is on creativity, spontaneity, and improvisation. Most of us know each other here. Many of us are related. We use aliases just for the hell of it.

Both of these pix are missing the 3rd world. There are many Japanese paintings that deal with this motif. 3rd world is usually something swimming in the water. Most often a goldfish.
Did you take the puddle pix, Spin? The othe is an Escher, right Skleeve?
I didnt take the pic owl, I found it online
It's wicked.
Do you think it's a real shot Spin? It kinda looks Photoshpish around the edges of the puddle maybe. What do you think? Imagine what we could have reflecting in a puddle. Anything! Anything I tell ya. Even Kong.
very cool!!
Well, there is a delightful juxtaposition of the organic nondescript shape and boring monochrome of the puddle and road and the strong geometric perspective grid and polychromatic, detailed burst of color of the building, but then, that's just me.
also notice how the tracks through the puddle follow the perspective lines of the building to a common vanishing point in both "worlds". Groovy. Literally.
Yeah, maybe. But you know, if the shooter was a little higher or lower, or a little more to the left or right, it wouldn't look like that. There's a lot of design going in, I think. Maybe it's intuitive and improvisational, but it's there nonetheless, don't you think? And yes, it's really awesome. I wonder how high the res is in the original and whether or not you can see into any of the windows. And whether or not if one of the windows opens out onto the cosmos, and another into the open mouth of a gold, whiskered carp.
On the other hand, eric, notice the similarities between the Escher print below this one, with the tracks and all, and the natural landscape reflecting. Could it be that the "photographer" was actually inspired by the old Escher print and went about rerendering the concept using digital photographic virsus traditiobal engraving media? In other words, maybe this is art, imitating art imitating nature. That's what I think it is.
...or do you really think the tracks are a coincidence?
