A DISTORTED VIEW

Reflection of a fence bordering a street

We need to try and see our situation clearly and to focus on what we can do best to safeguard those whom we hold dear.

A REVEALING REFLECTION

The lake Høvringsvatnet is located about 10 kilometres northeast of the village of Evje in Norway, which my son photographed in December.

As you can see, the surface was as calm as a mirror rendering a perfect reflection.

You know what modern cell phones are like, especially if you have the auto rotate function switched on. When I first looked at the picture above, the screen showed it turned around, like this.

I was astounded by what I saw. Perhaps you can take a moment to look at this version more carefully too and see what you can make out in it. My first thought was that this was akin to an intricately carved totem pole of sorts. Can you see the bearded face at the top wearing an elaborate helmet? I can see another, perhaps a sadder, face below the broad brown band. Above that is a black and white skull … there may be an eagle and an owl …

What can you see?

REFLECTION: STREET IN A WINDOW

A little disconcerting to see cars ‘driving through’ a window.

REFLECTIONS: CRYSTAL DECANTER

REFLECTIONS IN THE POOL

An upside down view of the crassula, aloes and trees around the deep end of our swimming pool.

It is never easy to keep the pool clean when the wind blows, but the stripey light reflections make up for it.

Our dear Hound is with us no longer.
