Funny perspective in this one... The boat is a regular small boat irl but here it looks like a toy. The bench is normal size but in the photo it looks like furniture in a doll house.
//Pray don't find fault with the man who limps
Or stumbles along the road
Unless you have worn the shoes that hurt
Or struggled beneath his load
There may be tacks in his shoes that hurt,
Though hidden away from view
Or the burden he bears, placed on your back,
Might cause you to stumble, too.
Don't sneer at the man who's down today
Unless you have felt the blow
That caused his fall, or felt the same
That only the fallen know.
You may be strong, but still the blows
That were his, if dealt to you
In the self same way at the self same time,
Might cause you to stagger, too.
Don't be too harsh with the man who sins
Or pelt him with words or stones,
Unless you are sure, yea, doubly sure,
That you have no sins of your own.
For you know perhaps, if the tempters voice
Should whisper as soft to you
As it did to him when he went astray,
'Twould cause you to falter, too.//

I have been wanting to get a good image of this church for a long time now. It really does look like an upside-down church. I waited until the sun was more or less on one side, and took this image.

Perspective through a lens.
I watched a TED talk video yesterday and it talked about how connections in our brain called synapses peak at adolescence and decline as people get older. I guess the decline of synapses is the reason why old people find it hard to accept new perspectives and trends. I hope I remember to remind myself the fact that other people have perspectives that are different from mine. For all I know, he could be focusing on the cloud formations.
This picture demonstrates linear perspective. There are both parallel horizontal and vertical lines within this picture, and they seem to converge in the distance.
"Always concentrate on how far you have come, rather than how far you have left to go. The difference in how easy it seems will amaze you."

This Boston street performer proves 'upside down' is better one handed. The child's gaze says it all.
Ah, how I failed with the whole 365 project. Oh well. Unfortunately, I also have yet to re-upgrade my flickr account, so now I'm working with 300MB a month. Maybe I will upgrade soon, no idea though.
Everyone has a light within...
It all depends on one's perspective...
Whether one sees the dark periphery...
Or rise above the oversimplified perception of the mind...
And see the eternal spark !
