What Is The Message?

52Frames - Week 46 - Perspective


EC: Optical Illusion



Palm Desert, CA



It was late afternoon and a rare moment of clouds moving through. I glanced up and saw this scene I had never before experienced.  After taking the shot on my phone, it got me thinking about "perspective".



Visually, it is difficult to tell whether the view is above, below or at eye level of the clouds (hence the EC: Optical Illusion).  Spiritually, I had the perspective of gratitude, being in the right place, at the right time to experience this phenomena (hence the Title).

"Good Morning!!!"

College of the Desert

Palm Desert, CA

Driving a shuttle cart around the flea market, he was booming out "Good Morning" to everyone he passed.  After the 2nd pass, I offered a fist bump to which he obliged...and I captured.
