Happy 15th Hubble

Today marks the 15th anniversay of the Hubble Space Telescope's launch -- and that being the case, John Scalzi thought we'd do something special for the Monday Photo Shoot:

The Monday Photo Shoot: Show off your favorite Hubble Space Telescope image. Tell us why you love it.

So, why do I like this photo?  First, there is the combination of the brown and blue tones.  Yes, it resembles clouds and most of you know how I feel about clouds.  ;-)  But, it is the visual image in the center that drew me in...there is this "what do you see?" quality about it.  In it I see many things, a dog's face, an angel taking flight, a man standing...or I just have an overactive imagination.

  4. Isn't it amazing what we each see in the same picture.  Me I always see faces.  Here there everywhere.  I might see a face point it out and someone will point yet another face out in the face I saw or right next to it.  They might not see that one I saw at all but another.  Imagination it is said is more valuable then a high IQ and yet because you have a vivid imagination does not say you don't have a high IQ.  Art is after all not valued by some and yet valued by others who will pay millions of dollars for it.
