weekly photo challenge: illusions

Earlier this week, while watching the forever changing clouds that journey pass my home, I remembered the fascination, during an undergraduate psych class,  I had with the Rorschach Test.  This projective psychological test, commonly known as the ink block test, was developed in 1921.   In 1943 the US military implemented the Harrow-Erickon Multiple Choice Rorschach Test for the large scale screening of U.S. military personnel.  While the first outcomes reported impressive predictive power, later work showed that the test had very limited value.

What do you see in this image of clouds?

Water in its many manifestations: clouds, fog, snow, dew-drops, rain, ice, rivers, oceans, waves, mist, falls, glaciers, sprinklers..fill we with wonder.

Submitted in response to lens-artist photo challenge: wonder…a moment, a feeling, a place, a person–which filled you with wonder.

weekly photo challenge: all time favorites

20140627-120222.jpg

After participating in the WordPress’ weekly photo challenge for around 8 years, there is a bit of sadness in learning that this week’s challenge is the last edition. Don’t know why this decision was made and so with a bit of confusion and resistance I wave farewell and  say, “thank you, it has been great fun.  If you wish to return, there is a welcome back, awaiting.”
