What's 'wrong' with this picture?

Below you can see the horizon pic posted by Andro and some blocks have been moved around
to show that the picture has analogous colour that represents true light. Even if the block is only
moved slightly the difference can be seen. The pic is still only a representation of the reality no matter
how detailed it is.

The next picture is a representation of a boat, the horizon, some sea birds and clouds...it gives the perspective
of some form of imagined reality, even though the sea and the sky are the same colour.
The wavy bottom of the boat gives a representaion of motion, but nothing is moving.

The next picture mixes up some of the shapes we would like to recognise, but you could still imagine the
scene...or not, depending on your frame of mind

The last pic in the row has really lost it and without the previous pics you would probably never relate the
pic to a boat, the horizon, some sea birds and clouds .

Below once again is the horizon pic posted by Andro, but this time the pic is turned on its head and
the sun is placed in a different perspective. You can see how the mind does not want to cope with this
it looks rubbish, however the last two pics are a painted representation of the horizon and when the same is
done with this pic, although different, the picture can still be categorised as something recognised.

[Image link broken]

The first pic is analogous to something real and known, the second pic is not and thus we create what we
want it to be. What do you see in that last pic? Was it the same as me?

Here are some shapes being created from two dimensional to three dimensional images.

Fold_Cube_t.gif
Fold_tetrahedron_2t.gif
Fold_Octahedron_t.gif
Fold_Icosahedron_t.gif
Fold_Dodekahedron_t_.gif


Cube, Tetrahedron, Octahedron, Icosahedron, Dodekahedron

No more real than your triangle Albion, just a series of frames, but percieved as a structure
nonetheless.

We know there is nothing, but look around you and see what we created from it.

Amazing!

And here you see I'm happy just from a yellow filled black circle two black dots and three curvy black lines.

How real are they now? Can you see the beauty in my added pics, which might only be
observed by thier absence

HaMakom a name for God This is similar to how a person may be called by: his first name, 'Dad', 'Captain', 'Honey', 'Sir', etc.
depending on the role being played, and who is talking. What is in a name...would I mind if my son called me by my first name
rather than Dad? Possibly, but he doesn’t.

Ghislain - I love how three dimensions is just some points of two dimensions getting acquainted with
some other points of two dimesnions. Desire to know oneself. Enfoldment, reflection, etc.

Same principle behind the 'Virgin Birth' of Self-Awareness/Individuality/Sulfur, out of Universality (Mercury).

I can only guess that is "face book"

I have never looked at it, just heard my kids going on about status...is it worth it?

And now for something completely different :p:

What's 'wrong' with these pictures?

Well, that photo sitting in the back [of Karl Benz's] Mercedes sure speaks plenty especially when comparisons are drawn of the Pope's early childhood in "Hitler Youth". One would think that the Vatican prefers Italian automakers like Alfa Romeo, Fiat, etc.

I see that glass-cabin also [in addition to fear] as symbolic reference to being 'Holy', meaning in some sense, untouchable, set apart (in power), above materia, etc. It's quite suggestive, insightful, one could say of the way corporate Vatican looks at it's followers.

I don't know... IS there anything 'wrong' with this picture? (not a rhetorical question...)

I call it 'Vesica Trisces' :)

Could it be you just 'solved' it?

There's no room for the single guy

Maybe the entire room is a room for one... And the perfect match is with oneself :)

Map: The British Have Invaded Almost Every Country On Earth

GB_zps3a30ff27.jpg


In the book "All The Countries We’ve Ever Invaded", British historian Stuart Laycock writes that "out of 193 countries that are currently UN member states, [the British] invaded or fought conflicts in the territory of 171. That's not far off a massive, jaw-dropping 90 per cent." But a lot of those incursions are relatively obscure. For instance, the time British troops took the Ionian islands doesn’t make it into many non-Ionian history books. Laycock’s methodology is broad — he includes British pirates, privateers, and armed explorers whose activities were blessed by the government — and his research goes all the way back to the beginning. In a review, the Telegraph notes that "the earliest invasion launched from these islands was an incursion into Gaul – now France – at the end of the second century. Clodius Albinus led an army, thought to include many Britons, across the Channel in an attempt to seize the imperial throne. The force was defeated in 197 at Lyon."

Some interesting maps in the link you provided: 23-maps-and-charts-that-will-surprise-you

I liked this one:

We can all fit in a New York city placed in Texas... and leave the whole planet a beach resort / nature reserve.

Event Horizon

What do the two pictures below have in 'common'?

They both have the photobucket trademark on them
