an optical illusion ~
well ~ a magnificent
demonstration
of a law in physics
this occurrence
to
the naked eye
appears
perfectly circular
and astutely aligned
in pristine formation
replicated down a row …..
~ half a physical object
made of stone
and mortar
created by
human hands
the other half
this mirror image
or scientifically said
paraphrasing Wikipedia
this so-called “wavefront
does this magical
interface
whatchamacallit
between two different
kind of media
a wavefront
that returns
yes returns
right back
into the very medium
from which
the damn thing
originated” ….
…… more plainly speaking
they are the shape
of an aqueduct’s
arches
reflected
back
from
a shiny surface ~
~ a river’s water
slowly flowing
along its course
until spilling over
a small
dam like fall
next to a road
called Hudson …..
….. where this
keen
observer
has stood in awe
while
reflecting on
such wonders
of nature’s beauty
and then
somehow
give it
remembrance
through image
with my
Smartphone camera
captured within
an artistically
paint brush
type of look ~
~ an optical illusion
