Please take a minute to read this uncanny phenomenon.
I was so excited to FINALLY see some snow outside our windows that, with "Window Wednesday" in mind, I took a shot of these two images which were placed randomly on my windowsill in December.
NOT until I just uploaded this post did I notice that the watercolor on the left blends so naturally into the real background it looks like I just put a mat on the sill!
I promise you this was NOT planned! The photo card I received from my husband is on the right, and his watercolor is on the left, along with a little added "Charlie Brown" tree . . .
WOW! CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?
The 18th century, the age of Enlightenment is marked by the modernist ideal of ultimate perception. The telescope which was increasingly used in this era was a means of unlimited perception from the below and of the above, whilst the Eiffel Tower which was built a century later was the medium of unlimited perception from the above and of the below.
This photo is part of my series "The birth of Aphrodite", which you can view in my list of albums. By viewing the images in chronological order, and reading the script for the series in the album header, you can reconstruct one of the mythological versions of Aphrodite's origins and a sketch of her first steps in the mortal world.
Aphrodite is one of the most famous figures of ancient Greek religion: the goddess of love.

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

This image just kept getting darker and darker... but that's not really where I wanted it to go. So I thought I'd find a poem or something to explain darkness in the image, so I started to look up the word sorrow but instead came across a wonderful bit of conversation between two sisters - Marianne and Elinor in the novel Sense and Sensibility - where Marianne is caught up in the fabulous whirl of leaves as they fall... and her sister is... should we say.... not! Sisters!! :))

Ce monument commémore l’une des dernières figures importantes des Lumières écossaises, le philosophe et professeur de philosophie morale à l’Université d’Édimbourg (de 1786 jusqu’à sa mort en 1828) : Dugald Stewart (1753-1828). Considéré comme l’un des plus grands philosophes de son temps, il a également enseigné l’économie, la philosophie naturelle, le grec et la logique et a été l’auteur de plusieurs ouvrages de philosophie, dont la philosophie de l’esprit humain. En 1792, Stewart publia Elements of the Philosophy of the Human Mind, un traité qui commence par une discussion sur la vue. Stewart, comme le philosophe David Hume (1711-76) avant lui, s’intéressait particulièrement à la perception comme moyen de comprendre le monde, croyant que l’on ne pouvait pas se concentrer sur tout mais se limitait à des détails spécifiques. Il était un disciple de l’école de philosophie scottish Common Sense fondée par Thomas Reid, dont il avait assisté aux conférences à l’Université de Glagow. Parmi les étudiants bien connus de Stewart, on compte Lord Palmerston, le futur premier ministre, James Mill, le philosophe, et Sir Walter Scott, le romancier et poète.
La Royal Society of Edinburgh a commandé le monument et choisi son site en 1830. Ce dernier a été achevé en Septembre 1831, trois ans après la mort de Stewart. Il a été conçu par l'architecte écossais William Henry Playfair. Le mémorial est basé sur le monument choragique de Lysicrate à Athènes. Il s’agit d’un temple circulaire de neuf colonnes corinthiennes cannelées autour d’une urne surélevée sur un podium circulaire et dispose d’un toit en forme de dôme peu profond, surmonté au centre d’une urne ouverte à plumes. Il dispose d’une clôture polygonale en fonte restaurée avec des piliers en pierre, ornés de couronnes. La forme du monument choragique d’Athènes était devenue plus largement connue grâce à son illustration dans les Antiquités d’Athènes de Stuart et Revett, publiées en 1762. Une version contemporaine du monument, le monument Burns de Thomas Hamilton (1830-32) peut être vu à proximité sur Regent Road.
This monument commemorates one of the last important figures of the Scottish Enlightenment, the philosopher and professor of moral philosophy at the University of Edinburgh (from 1786 until his death in 1828): Dugald Stewart (1753-1828). Considered one of the greatest philosophers of his time, he also taught economics, natural philosophy, Greek and logic and was the author of several philosophical works, including The Philosophy of the Human Mind . In 1792 Stewart published Elements of the Philosophy of the Human Mind, a treatise that begins with a discussion of sight. Stewart, like the philosopher David Hume (1711-76) before him, was particularly interested in perception as a means of understanding the world, believing that one could not focus on everything but was limited to specific details. He was a disciple of the Scottish Common Sense school of philosophy founded by Thomas Reid, whose lectures he had attended at the University of Glagow. Well-known students of Stewart include Lord Palmerston, the future Prime Minister, James Mill, the philosopher, and Sir Walter Scott, the novelist and poet.
The Royal Society of Edinburgh commissioned the monument and chose its site in 1830. It was completed in September 1831, three years after Stewart's death. It was designed by Scottish architect William Henry Playfair. The memorial is based on the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates in Athens. It is a circular temple of nine fluted Corinthian columns around a raised urn on a circular podium and has a shallow domed roof, surmounted in the center by an open feathered urn. It has a restored cast iron polygonal fence with stone pillars, adorned with crowns. The form of the Choragic Monument at Athens had become more widely known through its illustration in Stuart and Revett's Antiquities of Athens, published in 1762. A contemporary version of the monument, Thomas Hamilton's Burns Monument (1830-32) may be seen nearby on Regent Road.
"Depth Perception (2):" I took this photo last year in a remote area of the Hassayampa River. The water in which I was standing when I was shooting was already knee deep. If you look closely into the water, just beyond the rocks in the foreground, you may see that there is a sudden drop-off into a bowl-like chasm, the depth of which I did not want to measure myself. Instead, I stopped and enjoyed the reflections of the colorful rock patterns across this watery abyss.

I made this image nine months ago and forgot about it. Last night I had a vivid dream in which this picture was the only visual. I stood looking at all the differences in this one body of water while reflecting on the changes and influences in my life. good dream. (full size)
