Winter essence
This is a photo of the view out my window, taken with a one second exposure while intentionally moving the camera vertically, which conveys the essence of the winter landscape. Plato had the thought that the material world of observable phenomena is a manifestation of a more fundamental level of essence forms. In Hindu cosmology, the material world sits on the back of a turtle. What's below the turtle? It's turtles all the way down.
The way this image is displayed on my computer monitor, when I stand up and look at it from above, a neat optical illusion occurs. The light and dark areas in the image become reversed.
