I absolutely love reflections. I seem to find them all over and the scene in the reflection seems to be very different each time. I loved how the tree branches seemed to go in and out of the asphalt.

When Galileo offered his opposers the chance to look into the telescope, many of them refused. They thought that that instrument was a trick of the Devil, a deceit to our perception to drift man away from the way of Truth - away from God. This so-called argument had been used so many times - e.g. when the opposers of the theory of evolution claimed that the Devil put bones and skulls of stranger antediluvian beasts into the rocks to deceive man - to demonstrate the mighty powers of unreason. I really cannot grasp how people can maintain such stances today but, well, this happens all the day, so this could be a limitation of my own little mind. However nobody can deny that that rough telescope - together with Van Leeuwenhoek's primitive microscope - was the beginning of a revolution in our way to look at the world and understand it. The scope of our (admittedly augmented) senses spans now from elementary particles to the remotest regions of space and time, including along the way that awesome marvels that we call cells.
That said, this humble shot portraits a coin operated telescope (a rather pompous name, but I am aware that many people love them, and there is even a group in Flickr dedicated to them) in Montisola, Lake Iseo, Italy*. I must admit that I have not looked into it (just like Galileo's foes...), but I loved the strikingly fresh view on the world offered by its external metal shell - especially how it creates two images of myself: one could go at work as usual, and the other could leisurely wander capturing photos all the time ;-)

Visual perception is the ability to interpret the surrounding environment by processing information that is contained in visible light. The resulting perception is also known as eyesight, sight, or vision (adjectival form: visual, optical, or ocular). The various physiological components involved in vision are referred to collectively as the visual system, and are the focus of much research in psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and molecular biology.

“When we are unhurried and wise, we perceive that only great and worthy things have any permanent and absolute existence, that petty fears and petty pleasures are but the shadow of the reality”

If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.
Blake

Vehicle carrier approaching Cape Cod Railroad Bridge
The railroad bridge has a 544-foot main span, with a 135-foot clearance when raised. It is the second longest lift bridge in the United States, At the time of its completion 1935, it was the longest vertical lift span in the world. The Railroad Bridge is a vertical lift bridge. The center span lifts up and down. After ensuring the Canal is clear of large commercial traffic, the bridge span will be lowered for a train
to cross. Counterweights are the secret to how it
moves. The 2,200-ton center span is counter-weighted by two 1,100-ton concrete filled steel-plated boxes that hang in each tower. The span is connected to the counterweights by 40 steel cables that hang in each tower.

...because pink leafs really do grow on trees.
Taken at the Sensoji in Asakusa where there were still a bit of fall colors left on the trees in December.
Do you believe in praying?
This is one of the places where I flipped between seeing a stack in front of a cliff, or a hole through the cliff.
