Obscura

IMG_6219

Frost does some crazy and varied stuff on my windows in winter. These linear tracks may be my favorite formation. Here they almost obscure the entire picture window. Which leads me to my tangent: anybody ever built or witnessed a camera obscura?

You have single pane windows, right? I remember this happening in my family's apartment in Queens but you rarely see it any more. You could have some fun with focus and depth of field.

Anyway, we visited a camera obscura in Edinburgh, I think the second time we went to Scotland without you and sis. http://www.camera-obscura.co.uk/ . Very cool gizmo.

Wonderful photo. Wish I had experience with a camera obscura but I don't.

OK, so I am the only one in this prestigious group of photographers that has no clue what camera obscura is. Is anyone surprised? Off i go to your link, A. I hate it when I have to learn something new this early in the morning before coffee.

Great shot however. I know that much.
