This one works quite well – the darkness makes it more intriguing (abstract..?). I like the symmetry of the lights and the cables against the dark blue sky.

I was recently trying the effects of the mirror image in my photos.
It seems that its scene is possible to be in the city. But it is not to be in anywhere…
I think you’re right, Palla. You should try more with images like this one, taken in the evening. I think it gives them a slightly otherworldly (?) quality. It’s not so obvious what is going on in the image.
I saw the new David Cronenberg film ‘Spider’ [http://…/] this weekend. The title sequence is a montage of photographs describing textures on walls (like peeling paint…), which have been altered to add a point of symmetry. They look a bit like pictures from the Rorschach Test [http://…/]. Very interesting!

Rorschach Test…Indeed.
or one of the optic illusion.
I remember that the perspective is essentially meaning like that.
Maybe this faked symmetry works especially well for city scenes because human construction is mostly symmetrical? It took a while before I noticed the photo of the train tracks was mirrored, for example.
When mirroring a nature scene (tree, mountain, etc.) in a similar way, the fake symmetry would probably be very noticable.

Yes, Milov.
Symmetry is the perceivable problem of mathematics. The human seek that way for their rationality. But there is nothing like the complete creation like that in actuality.
I am thinking about the mirror image of contradiction in our rationality now.
