Your mind simply attempts to establish the dynamics, and goes with movement.

But notice this:

Now there is no movement (or very notably less of it), from which you can infer that the regular polygon skin plays a very considerable part (it's not that pronounced in the miniaturization).

There is no movement in either.

 

[Kyriakos]

Indeed, Sherlock, still images don't actually move ^^

Do people still ride a lot of horses in whatever part of the American west this is?

Her pants don't match the ground. And that looks like a chilly place to go barefoot.

The rug that matches the clifftop is a nice touch, though.

Her pants don't match the ground.

The title of the photograph is 'knitting', which is probably why only the shawl or whateveritis is colour-coded

Someone took this picture a couple of days ago, near the school where I did my student teaching practicum 40 years ago.

It's quite common for deer and moose to visit people's yards in this part of town.

Btw, it started snowing in earnest a few hours after this was posted on FB. Hopefully the moose found something edible before it got buried.

Interesting that only the women's faces are distorted.

Wild elk (Cervus canadensis) graze in the vibrantly coloured Tiaozini wetlands in China’s eastern Jiangsu province. The wetlands are carpeted by the Chinese mugwort shrub (Artemisia halodendron), which turns a bright red in autumn, attracting wildlife such as birds and the elk.
