Optical Illusion

This blog is usually pretty graphic and visually oriented, but I don't know if this will work for you or not, but I will try. I was in this new hallway in Rockville Hosp., where Martha's Mother had some therapy. Here is a pic of the hallway, and at the time of the optical illusion, I was down at the other end looking this way.


Well, the hospital wing is under construction, and I looked out the window to my right and saw what I thought was a plastic-wrapped pallet of chairs out there, waiting to be used.

But I realized it was a plastic pallet, precicely superimposed by the image of chairs inside to my left behind me in the hall. Maybe you had to be there.

Pink Dino Sighting

This is pretty funny. Sort of a "Diente de Tigre" type situation.

Inside an active volcanic crater on a remote island in New Zealand, Geologists put a remote camera to monitor the crater status. They posted this and several other webcams on this link. According to their site, "the New Zealand GeoNet Project provides real-time monitoring and data collection for rapid response and research into earthquake, volcano, landslide and tsunami hazards".

Out of the blue a pink dino appeared in one of the cameras. Some brave and sassy explorer stuck it there, apparently. They plan to leave it there to be destroyed by the hostile environment.
