Losing Perspective

My world; as seen upside down.
"Imagine," Paul said to me once, "that the present is simply a reflection of the future. Imagine that we spend our whole lives staring into a mirror with the future at our backs, seeing it only in the reflection of what is here and now. Some of us would begin to believe that we could see tomorrow better by turning around to look at it directly. But those who did, without even realizing it, would've lost the key to the perspective they once had. For the one thing they would never be able to see in it was themselves. By turning their backs on the mirror, they would become the one element of the future their eyes could never find." - The Rule of Four (by Ian Caldwell & Dustin Thomason)

  1. This picture taken as a portrait looks so different when seen on landscape - like the Dolamites covered with snow seen upside down..
