Contrast To The Eyes


Do you notice the strong contrast of the light blue box with the different background?
I noticed this visual effect when buildings are backed by dark clouds when thunderstorm is imminent.
Gorgeous effect, right?

The BIG Me - multiple figures



Take a look at the graphic.


Do you notice what it consists of?

You are right! It consists of many little figures.


What does it mean to you?

For me, I choose it to represent the Big Me.

What do I mean?

There is a chinese saying:

"Sacrifice the small me, to achieve the BIG me".

The implication of this saying is to create a person who does not look from the angle of self. Self-interest is immaterial compared to a bigger perspective.

In order to achieve more, sometimes, we have to sacrifice a bit of our own resources.


Hopefully, this gorgeous figure will remain us of the bigger picture to a better outcome.

Numerical Art Piece

Our writing reveals many internal thoughts. And through these thinking, we are able to come out something very unique to each of us.

The presentation of our mindful flow through writing can be treated as art,if you view it that way.

One such piece is shown here. It is done by a yound kid doing her maths assignment. The mathematical working to the questions on the piece of paper showed an interesting display of how her mind thinks.

Messy or random? Or simply straight forward gorgeous? No right or wrong.
The workings got done, anyway.

See for yourself.

Art of Camouflage



Look at the picture above.



Do you see a herd of stripped animals?



Can you see the difference between the single animal and the herd of them?

The art of camouflage ensures that when animals of the stripped form gathered together, they can look like a piece of "unknown".

Is it a big monster? Or is it a flat piece of stripped wall?

Standing alone reveals the animal clearly.

Our eyes, therefore, look at objects from their outline perspective. When this outline is broken, we are not able to differentiate or identify the object, in this case, the animal within the herd above.

Marvellously created and gorgeously formed camouflaging technique!

Therefore, in conclusion, sometimes we see things that may not be what they are.

Interesting?

Amazing Black White Checker Boxes

Checker boxes are wonderful.

By arranging them in various alignments, you can actually create different perceptions of images.

The above is an example of one.
Here, you can see that the supposedly flat surface is made to seem curved out.
There are 2 humps in all, if not more.

This is a simple way where black and white images (in pixels) are produced.

What you will be impressed with is the formation of these checkers to "trick" the eyes and your brain to see things that are just flat surface laid with square / rectangular checkers.

Impressive and amazing, right?

Big Or Small, Our Eyes Can't Tell

Our eyes can deceive us.

Look at the two sets of smilies above.
Can you tell which smily at the centre of the two sets is bigger?

Yes, I know your answer is the one on the right.

You are WRONG!

Why?

They are of the SAME size. Cover up all the surrounding smilies and you will see why.

Our eyes do tell lies. Sometimes looking at pictures on the overall give us a distorted message.

Staying focus at times serves us better, as the example above proved.

Gorgeous images.... ... ..
