Evidently a Google scholar image search is required for this.
More like you need to be old enough to remember the Magic Eye craze of mid-nineties ;)

I just dug out my Turbo Pascal code written then for an article in Bajtek magazine and run it in DOSbox to make some new pictures.

It's a beautiful photo in itself, but I think it's extra cool that there aren't any modern world items visible in it. I like that a lot. 🙂

Thank you Dennis. Modern day structures and people can often be a distraction in many photos.

That's pretty impressive.

I usually make myself several cappuccinos per day, but I've never been able to successfully do the cappuccino/latte art (e.g., the leaf shape on the top). I've tried many times, but consistently fail. Mine always seem to come out as a small animal or plant crying in pain.

It's pretty fun that it looks a bit like a space photo. :smile:

This creek was dry for almost a year long.

Now, it's supposed to be frozen (with snow all around, and animal tracks), like on this old photo:

Well, still better than dry...

In the U.S., we have a slow-moving train wreck.

Yeah, headlights are brighter in that one and the shrub on the right of that image doesn't look great on the bottom.

Interesting how we focus on different things. I don't think you could see the vehicle's roof in the reflection given the angle in the lower shot.

The solution to this problem is left as an exercise for the student. :rolleyes:
