AMAZING PICTURE

that's a fake.

I received an email from a friend with this amazing picture. It was from Burmica and was advertised as the once a year sun's reflection on a rock. The same day, he sent another email stating that it was a phony.

If you haven't seen what's amazing about it, then turn your head far to the left where you almost stand the picture up vertically.

Initially he bought it. Initially I thought "where or what is Burmica?" Then I couldn't see the reflection complementing or completing the picture. That is, I couldn't see the whole picture.

And it's that the way it goes? There's a lot of phoniness out there. While we focus on the minutiae, we miss the big or overall picture. We're too ready to accept something new and different and spectacular. We're too eager to get on that bandwagon.

When the truth smacks us in the face, it doesn't. What I mean is, when fraud of any kind is revealed, we blame others and not ourselves for being gullible. For over-reaching, for falling prey, for our own faulty thinking or logic.

It's still a cool picture. If you still haven't seen it, it's a mother with her child praying, half of it reflecting in the water. But watch out. It won't be the last thing we buy into that's not on the up and up.
