Yes, you are right.
4 years agoSuch a dark response! 🙂
Not at all. Your enlightened photo actually put me in mind of the acclaimed chiaroscuro nature photographer, Ansel Adams. I have a stack of old Arizona Highways magazines that contain many of his images.
It’s on the list. We’ll check this out the next time we’re in Skradin.
4 years agoCool! Would love to see an x-ray of that tree's root system.
4 years agoHey there, Bill. Are you throwing shade on me?
4 years agoA bit of light humor there? 🙂
4 years agoGlad to be able to refresh your memory. I’m sure I first heard of it in my art history class back in 1964, but promptly forgot it for the next 40 years. I don’t remember what brought it back. I have some ideas, but it’s not black and white.
I’ll watch out for an example with a lizard to help reinforce it.
Well, I've not heard/seen the word chiaroscuro since I was a high school freshman in my dad's art class! (1960)
4 years agoThat’s part of what crossed us up also. It’s so unlikely looking. And no, there was no text in the photographs to clarify. Just a photo of the door, with an arrow. The only reason we assumed this was the place was from the name of the street, and the fact that this was the only door on it.
4 years agoThis is a really interesting story that makes me think of a couple of PBS series we've watched recently about the brain.
We make sense of the world by watching for predictable patterns that are formed based on our experiences.
This door, for me, does not look like a door that would lead to a set of other doors that open to apartments.
So I would probably just ignore it.
If you look back through the instructions & photos, is there enough information about this door? (Like .. "Don't be fooled! It's not a storage unit!")
Yes! I knew I recognized that look.
4 years agoKind of a His Master's Voice dog.

4 years agoYes, I was sure many would be familiar with the background here. No sense insulting folks’ intelligence by pointing out the obvious.

Amazing how many species there are!
