Perspective: what we look at changes… or does it?
What We See…
I posted a couple of pictures from my morning walk on Facebook this week. It’s a walk I do most days, or at least some version of it, when I take the dog out. Normally I don’t take the phone, so I added the comment, “Village walk. Same as most mornings only I took my phone out today!” (see below for the pics!)
A friend posted a question, partly in jest, picking up on my comment that it was the same scenery I saw most mornings,
Cathy…does it look the same most mornings though?
I laughed at his question because he knows, as I do, that, of course, the village is what it is; it’s there every morning! Sure, there might be some variations of weather and light, seasons and colours. But my perception of it is coloured by how I look at it — not how it actually appears.
If We Look!
On this particular morning, a distant tractor had caught my eye and I got my phone out to take a picture. It wasn’t great, and I thought I could do better, so I kept the phone out to see if there were any other images I could capture, and I got a couple of shots of one of the farmhouses which show some of the typical ‘English village life’ scenery.
