Cool. For a second there, I thought they were black horses w/ zebra shadows, which doesn't make sense.

Walking across a stained bed spread.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Me three... I thought it was black horses walking on some kind of liquid that resulted in weird Fresnel interference patterns. Zebras didn't even occur to me until later....

Turn it upside down.

Good pic rendering, I showed it to my wife from and online source, she couldn't get it for a minute. Keeps insisting the photographer posted it upside down. Maybe so.

Neat photo. It is easier to process upside down. I think the brain more readily accepts shadows that project down rather than up.

Well, that blew my mind.

Sixty-five years ago, boys my age looked at National Geographic for pictures of women in "tribal dress".
