What's Up is Down

Shopping Mall Ceiling and Reflections, Al Ain, UAE  © Doug Hickok  All Rights Reserved



You know about tongue twisters. Well, this image is a mind twister. This futuristic fantasy is actually an image looking up at the ceiling of a shopping mall. All I did was invert the photo after processing. The auto and admiring bystander are on the star-shaped floor of the mall and are reflected in the glass of the ceiling. In the circular ceiling there are more windows reflecting bits of the floor's colors and designs. Look at the picture upside down and it may make better sense.
