Mundane Monday
The Alternate Universe
Pho Trablogger offers another opportunity to try interesting things with my camera. Over the last year, I’ve noticed that because we see reflections from the lights inside the house, it gives the illusion that there is an alternate universe out in the backyard. This photo was taken as the back yard was darkening, and the lights were on. It is reminiscent of when I look inside from outside, and see the cozy lighting of a quaint setting. Only here, the inside is transported outside through the way it is reflected by the glass, giving the effect that I’m lookingย in at another universe.ย Or something like that. ๐

Awesome! And what a basis for a fantasy story! ๐

Did you ever see the 2nd (remake) of The Time Machine? They had some scenes like that, and it always brings that to mind when I look up and see the living room out in the backyard.

Nope. I was a bit too much of a purist to go see it! ๐

It’s worth it, and the soundtrack is stunningly beautiful! Here’s a favorite from the album:
Oh, and the composer, Klaus Badelt actually did the first Pirates of the Caribbean because Hans Zimmer was involved with something else. Zimmer did the others, though.

Ooo! Pretty! This sounds right up my alley. Going to have to check this soundtrack out. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I need to start compiling a list for the kids to pick something from to get me for Christmas!

Thank you Anna! I tend to snap what captures my attention. I’ve old photos which I liked, from my travels long ago. So now, with a digital, I don’t have to wait to have them developed. I’m enjoying this ‘new’ toy. ๐

The reflection leading to a possible alternate universe sounds fantastic. What a prompt to a short story.
