“Science deals with the world which it perceives but, seeking more and more to penetrate the veil of naïve perception, progresses only towards the goal of nothing, because it still does not accept in practice (whatever it may admit theoretically) that the mind first creates what it perceives as objects, including the instruments which Science uses for that very penetration. It insists on dealing with ‘data,’ but there shall no data be given, save the bare percept. The rest is imagination. Only by imagination therefore can the world be known. And what is needed is, not only that larger and larger telescopes and more and more sensitive calipers should be constructed, but that the human mind should become increasingly aware of its own creative activity.”
-Owen Barfield, Poetic Diction (28):
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.
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.

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.
If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is: Infinite. --William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

I had to struggle a little with the colors and light on this subject to get it tight to the realistic perception of our eyes (strong sun, reflection of the sand and water around).
