Early AM view of the river with several inches of new snow. Most of it was melted by this evening, but soon will be around for good.
View of Longyearbyen, the Advent Bay and the Hiorthfjellet mountain in the background, seen from the Nybyen neighbourhood. Longyearbyen is the main town of Svalbard, Norway's archipelago in the Arctic Ocean.
Camera: Canon PowerShot G3.
Edited with Adobe Photoshop.
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.
I've moved to a new place and this is my view. It's awesome. Lots of parks and streams. Photo texturized.
and so here I am again, foisting my experiments on unsuspecting flickr'ers
;~)
Edit one

not even sure I like either .....
LOL
Be back later!
Looking back during the steep climb up to Chartridge, taken on my recent walk around the ridges ti the west of Chesham
After the rain I drove up to the top of Prefumo Canyon Road again, I knew it would be spectacular. And it was with all the clouds and light. Several cars stopped and we all oohed and awed at the stunning view. One couple was from Canada and the other was from Southern California. It was a great shared experience.
