Whereas some people may see just an old lamp finial, I see something amazingly beautiful, delicate and quite intimate.
Isn’t it interesting how the same object appears vastly different when it is placed against a background absorbing the light?
One object, seen in two different ways–maybe we should be mindful of such when we view the people around us. Perhaps it all just depends on the setting or the background…..

That would be a really fun thing to leave out on that special photo paper that changes color when you leave it in the sun.
