...do you see what i see?

tie illusion

the principle of surroundedness, according to which areas which can be seen as surrounded by others tend to be perceived as figures.*


i don't see anything...
i see something...
i see...

nothing...

I did see lots of interesting shapes until this window came up for my comment and blocked my view.....

There, I moved that thing - I can see better now....

I can see a lot of things; being a woman, I can see a 'floor-plan' for 4 different condo units - I like the one on the extreme left of the screen, because I can make a nice little court-yard where I can plant flowers, and see it from the bedrooms that are the 'extensions'. I think I'll put my grand piano right where I can walk out through those patio doors into the court-yard.

I think I'll have the 6-car garage hold 3 cars; one dune-buggy, and the rest for a work-shop.

Yes, definitely - these are floor-plans; like all the lay-outs.
