Zip showed up in the woodshed, as he often does, when I was getting wood this morning. First he did a shadow dance behind the tarp that covers the wood. Then he sat in the window opening high up in the gable of the roof.
I didn’t see that the wood shed was acting as a pinhole camera, until I looked at the photo I took of Zip in the window.
But there was his image reflected upside down on the roof of the woodshed.
Humans have been using this natural process of a small amount of light entering a dark space to project images, to create art for thousands of years. It may even have inspired some of the early cave paintings.
We’ve lived here for over ten years but never saw this happen in the woodshed before. I have to thank Zip for drawing my attention to it. I wouldn’t have seen it if he wasn’t posing in the empty window frame as the sun was coming over over the barn.
WOW, Maria, what a fabulous discovery. I continue to be delighted by your view of the world though you very special Artistic eyes!
My blog helps keep me even more observant Marilyn. I have a place to put it all.
