Illusions from Scotland

09/29/2012

The incredible shrinking Pamelia? No, just an optical illusion created when the two of us stepped into an Ames room in Edinburgh’s Camera Obscura museum. If we could just find enough space to build one of these rooms at The Naturalist’s Notebook, we would.

Can you find the hidden tiger in this photo? It’s also a visual trick from the Camera Obscura.

What’s the old Kipling line about keeping your head when all those around you are losing theirs? Pamelia seems to be keeping her head even after she’s lost it. Don’t worry; she’s fine.

We’re still on the road, heading for the Scottish Highlands. More soon…
