Shadow on the wall
Use me like tool.
Treat me like a prisoner.
Treat me like a fool.

Thank you, Mike Oldfield.
Here is your big surprise:
He tried:
He didn’t:
If you go down to the woods today
You’re sure of a big surprise
If you go down to the woods today
You’d better go in disguise.
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain,
Because today’s the day
The Teddy Bears have their picnic.

Oktoberfest, Corona-style
At precisely 2pm yesterday we were on the road, the autobahn in front of us, not much traffic because it was just shortly after it changed from a two lane to a four lane road since we were nearing Frankfurt.
We were meeting with friends – to celebrate a toned-down Oktoberfest. Some were dressed up in Lederhosen or Bavarian finery, some just wore beer socks. We placed our chairs well apart, had sausages and bretzel and drank beer (no Corona, however).
Just before leaving camp and going on trail we decided on a final picture (that was just before 3pm).

I approached the prompt inversion (excuse the title) gradually, starting with a natural inversion – or rather an inversion occurring naturally without human intervention.
I progressed to a man-made inversion:
And then, the first photographic inversion, a natural step after the inverted glasses:
Which led – again quite naturally – to photos created with a lensball. Here are the actual first two lensball photos I took – it was around Easter as you can see:
Inversions created solely on the computer were a natural follow-up:

What a challenge! Dale at CosPhoCal has asked to turn the everyday in the unusual. What an opportunity to play! But first things first, let’s start with the important ingredient:
Coffee.
The cup of this owl (aka: me) reads: I’m afraid I am awake (I’m awake I’m afraid?) How mundane can it get?
A walk with the dog.
A ride on the bike.
A slice of lemon.
And some healthy apples rife for the picking.
These are the untouched photos that were used:

Up, up and away!
Look up! Look to the skies!
Spirits of the skies? Possibly. In Düsseldorf they even have a street named after them:

The world according to ankle biters
These were the original photos, two friends, the statue of Bavaria overlooking the place where in normal years the Munich Oktoberfest takes place, and a plane tree – all from the bottom up.
