Another Roadside Attraction

“Logic only gives man what he needs. Magic gives him what he wants.”
Tom Robbins from Another Roadside Attraction

The theme overs at Demie’s blog is “Another Roadside Attraction”. She invited other bloggers to join in, so here’s my version.

This roadside attraction is a mirror image of a mirror image. It’s a large oily puddle on a parking lot that I shot with my iPhone . To make a little magic, I flipped the scene upside down and added it to the top of the original.

  2. dear Don,
    except from using one of my favorite Robbin`s quotes ,
    i find your magical photograph extraordinary!

    i read now a Tom Robbin`s book, "B for beer", not one of his best, but it makes me laugh a lot, and thats a very precious thing .... there he talks about the tiny little seam that separates the world we live in from the magical world, some of us suspects exists beyond...

    with this photo you have managed to cross that seam.... Thank you : )

  5. Dear Don,

    Well, that's what I call a real magic!
    I have no clue how you've done it (I can only think about hours of Photoshop...;-)but - I love it.
