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.

Cappuccino in the neighborhood. What a surprise and contrast in the surroundings:

 

[collinsmark]

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.

Aftermath of a firework explosion on New Year's Eve.
It's pretty fun that it looks a bit like a space photo.

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...

Same photo rotated 180 degrees. Which one is right-side up?

 

[Ibix]

My vote's for the top one.

 

[Borg]

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

 

[pinball1970]

Yes the weed in the water is suspended in the air in the second shot

 

[Ibix]

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.
