Hi all

Just something I dreamed up quickly a day or two ago. A variation (again...)
on Shay's spirograph images posted last year.

Enjoy! (Or not...:)

Very nice.... and dangerous image! Your eyes keep being sucked inside.
Nice texturing too.

Stefan,
Vivid. Trippy. I think I'm having a problem with reality.
Reminds me of one of those tropical flutterby fish.
Your speling dysfunctional is?

Hehe...

Thanks - someone high on hashish? Never tripper before for real myself, but
if this is what your friends face looks like after some high-grade hash,
I'm all for it!

I noticed the fish-like look only today - that was completely unintentional.

Fanx for commenting!

Has a kind of acoustical visualization thing going on about it, like air 
molecules in rapid motion.

DLM mentioned the spelling of disfunction, in a roundabout way I guess. :) 
Not that I know the word very well or anything but I think dys- probably 
means something different from dis-, and looking it up at the online Merriam 
Webster dictionary doesn't actually tell me anything more, except that dys- 
could be for a special variation of *not* (which is what I consider dis- to 
be, not function). Dysfunction would be something abnormal then, instead. 
The Reality Disfunction title probably does okay for the picture. Although, 
I do have to wonder now if it was intended to be about abnormality. ;)

I'm sure only some of you out there wanted to hear me say anything about all 
that! Most of you are probably trying to not read this. LOL

:) - its really strange (and one of the main reasons I post pictures) to see
how many unintentional things ppl can see in an image!

I think I made a spelling mistake. In my native language it is spelled
"disfunksie", so I just translated that straight into English. However, on
reflection, it does work well for the image. An unintentional effect of the
picture initially was that there must be something subtly "wrong" with it,
so dysfunction spelled "disfunction" fits in well, methinks.

Fanx for taking a peek...

I remember the sixties, so perhaps I was never there.
If  you want a sense of 'trippy' just google it! And your image qualifies.
Personally, I have never smoked anything and dare say I never will.
That stuff messes with the mind and thats what I use for a living.
So just say NO!
