Perceived Invisibility

· 17 Comments ·

The thinking of a child: If I can’t see you, you can’t see me!

Works better the younger you are – even if you are a foal.

And of course, I have many photos of Henry (our cat) pretending he is invisible. Admittedly, he was a lot younger when he still fit in a pizza box.

Our neighbours’ cat Johnny also knows the same trick.

Why Not, Indeed?

“So why the pelican? Said Haskoll.
The thief was giving Haskoll a look that said, Man, why NOT the pelican?”

Adam Rex, Unlucky Charms

These contraptions are cleaning the water of the local lake (not a natural one, but excavated) and are called pelicans. A part of the function is to circulate the water from below to the surface.

A Cormorant Sitting on a Pelican

· 4 Comments ·

Through the clouds wafting over the lake I could just about see the two pelicans (aka water purifiers) and a cormorant sitting on the stabilizer.

The photo is enhanced with photo editing, what I saw was more like this:

I hope the weather will pick up. I know this is typical for November and I should be grateful for normal weather but it is kind of depressing.

Hous… Lake cleaning

· 5 Comments ·

 

The water in our local, man-made lake is filtered with these contraptions called “pelicans”.  They are cleaning the water.  Cleaning them is necessary on a regular basis, even in the cold season.

This is for One Word Sunday. More clean photos can be found here.
