When the sun paints a picture

No matter how many different times I see people doing window taping activities, I can always be surprised and delighted by what occurs.  The pair of pictures that follows was one of these "lightbulb moments" for me.




Rather, I should say it was one of those "rising sun moments".  Gordon Williams of University of Alaska Fairbanks sent me these images, together with the following message.

Hi
Don’t know if this has happened to you before… but my students’ window drawings resulted in an amusing example of a projective transformation when the sun came up this morning! (images attached - I think the first pair is best!)
Enjoy!

Here are a few of the other examples, still quite "illuminating", so to speak.


Gordon notes, "I love how some frost on the window in this one looks like shrubbery in the shadow.", and I agree!

"My architecture student did a pretty good job of tracing the tree with a marker in this one (given she wasn’t the director)."
