Description
It's about the size of a CD, and I assume it has something to do with water.

When I first opened this photo in Lightroom something tripped up in my mind because my eyes told me it was inverted.

Sometimes it takes a moment for my mind to figure out what the heck I'm looking at. And not just pictures, anything - toast messiahs (saw Elvis this way once), tea leaves, puddles of mud, etc. If I stare at something long enough I can even hypnotise myself, but that's another matter.

So this manhole thing. When I first saw it on my screen, it looked like the recessed bits, the lighter parts, were actually up, and the darker bits were down. Even knowing this wasn't so, it took a moment for me to see it correctly.

...and it still sneaks up on me from time to time. Can anyone else see wtf I'm talking about?

(I know it's not framed the best, but I only had the 100mm macro lens with me, and although I'm tall I still had to look through the viewfinder)

update: okay, the thumbnail is doing it to me big time. it's definitely the shadow/highlights at fault, and I think it's so obvious that everyone should be able to see the effect I described in the thumb.
