Testing...

Reflection in Abandoned Quarry, near Micaville, North Carolina  © Doug Hickok


This mirror-like reflection in an abandoned stone quarry reminds me of a Rorschach inkblot test. If you rotate the image 90 degrees to the left (if you are right brained), or 90 degrees to the right (if you are left brained), you might see something resembling the famous painting by El Gecko called "Flight of the Duck-billed Platypuses".

Or, maybe not.

You might see something altogether different.

    Oops?!!

    Is it a Freudian slip test, D?
    You dirty old man! Ha

    I'm ambidextrous: should I turn it left or right?
    Or better still upside down?

  20. Turn it anti-clockwise and I see Waldorf from the Muppets. Incidentally one very nice young lady suggest that he and I share some things in common. I've never been so complimented in my life!

    And such a nice shot too.
