The stunning view from the top of Reinebringen mountain - the best view in the Lofoten Islands, I’m told, and I can believe it.

This was from the trail on Doi Inthanon and my last shot from this series. I hope you enjoyed your virtual tour around Northern Thailand!
Seen from a balcony at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. I like the contrast of the older buildings with their fire escape ladders and "roof art" with the newer and taller steel andglass high rises.
Thanks for stopping by.

Our view for a couple of nights while staying at the Milford Sound Lodge. Not sure if the guage is for snow or water levels.

We found this amazing place on a hike in the south of Crete. We just sat and enjoyed the view filling our souls.

Who hasn't made a viewing box? If not, take an empty shoebox, cut out a window in front and cover the roof with transparent paper in any color you like. Now place elements in it - one slightly behind the other - and peep through the window. Lo and behold your own magical mystery world. An ideal Xmas-activity with (grand) children!
The perspective we see in a viewing box is real. Objects are lined up one after the other. But it feels very artificial because we understand that the brain fools us.
Photos (the flat print) fool us in another way. Seeing perspective is a trick of the brain. Our pattern recognization notices depth. We don't even think of clues like big forms in front and smaller ones in the back. Or even better, the converging lines to a vanishing point.
Popel Coumou (1978, Netherlands) combines all this tomfoolery. She uses an old-fashioned pair of scissors and colored paper to create an illusion of space on a flat surface. Sometimes she takes a photo of the result. Here she simply mounted the paper cutting in a lightbox, thus returning to the origin of 'photo-graphy' which means writing with light.
