And they are just too good, sometimes, to keep to myself. So I'll post them here, periodically, under that same title: Alternate Universe Photos.This first one was taken from the balcony during a snowstorm. Branches of a tree, sky, and distant evergreens, with snowflakes in front. The camera is on automatic focus, but the falling snow in the foreground threw it off, so it produced an impressionist painting instead, reminding me of a snippet of some half-forgotten painting, Monet perhaps, or Renoir.
It puzzles me, though. First off, I always thought snowflakes were supposed to look like snowflakes; separate hexagonal stars or clusters arranged loosely in a flattish formation, like the large ones I often see falling slowly in a heavy snowstorm. Not snowballs. But that's what showed up on the film. Round, heavy-looking balls.
Look at the second photo, taken in a previous snowfall. Same thing: snowballs.Second; what I see in this top photo is the neck and shoulders of a woman in a brown dress and wearing a white necklace, seen through an etched glass jar with white polka dots on the top section.
Laurie doesn't see that at all. How about you? What do you see?
In the top of the tree I see a ballet dancer doing a pirouette...all in the eye of the beholder.:)
ReplyDeleteI had to look for a while, but I found it, up in the right-hand branch of the tree, right?

I loved the photo of frost you entered in today's "Good Planets". And that broken-up ice on the river; makes me homesick for the north country.
Glad you visited me. I have book marked your page. Nice to read about someone in another part of Canada.
