It Ain't The Bermuda Triangle

But Do You Know What This Is?

Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHON


Sometimes the most unusual sights are really the most common, everyday sights. It's only when you look at them from a unique angle or in a rare light that they seem so very different. These were just postcards on a rack, taken during my time in Singapore's captivating Chinatown. The photo below shows the rack with the postcards in full view, but the first shot makes you think, doesn't it?

    I was close - thought it was a nearly empty magazine rack. How neat to take an ordinary item and make a great post from it.

    Hi Stewart,

    I did!!

    It was difficult getting it into my suitcase, though!

    Cheers

    This looks amazing! The depth of field is just right. I guess you must have used f3 or less?

    The bird's eye view, or the worm's eye view--both offer a unique perspective that the human eye will tend to miss.

    Great work!

    I tried to guess what it is, but failed miserably. Thanks for the enlightenment.
