******Camellia******
When the wind wraps you in tears, raise your head and look at the rainbow.
When love left you behind, let go off your unhealing wounds and send them off into the sky.

Try not to forget, how you met and parted, and how it repeats.
You are brilliantly beautiful flower. You’ve become a butterfly that carries kindness and sadness.

You are the Camellia that offers love; quietly wishing for happiness, blooming in your dreams.
Because the scars that are left in your heart don’t fade; you make a wish, to find a person to love and cherish.

In the world, there’s a story spun from love.
You can be sure that tomorrow, somebody’ll be waiting for you.

When you start to talk, the flower that survives winter will bloom.
If you can’t wipe away your sadness, then make it into a road on which the new you can walk.

Believe in love, and bloom Camellia, one day your smile will bloom into love.
If your overflowing tears turn into a sparkle, then you can open up the closed door in your heart.

In the world, there’s a story that promises eternity. That’s why you’re waiting for the miracle of love.

The light tearing through the clouds reaches you, illuminating your sparkling smile.
One day your arms will have someone to hold, and be happy with.

You are the Camellia that offers love, quietly envisioning happiness, blooming in your dreams.
Because the scars that are left in your heart don’t fade, you make a wish, to find a person to love and cherish.

In the world, there’s a story spun from love. You can be sure that tomorrow, somebody’ll be waiting for you.

This looks real to me...

- Click on the image for the bigger view -

If you take a look at this two photos above, from your comfy chair, in front of your desktop…
you can easily see and recognize:Mr. ANGRY MAN (the one on the left) and… Mrs. CALM WOMAN (on the right of course!)

NOW, take a few seconds and…
stand up from your chair, walk a few steps backwards… or better said… move away from your computer desktop (from your monitor ;-))
Look at the pictures from at least 3 meters away (8 feet)…
IT happened to you 2, right?
THEY SWITCHED PLACES!!!

It seems that these photos were created by Phillipe G. Schyns and Aude Olivia from the University of Glasgow…So... DO WE REALLY SEE the REAL 'face of things' and people...!? ;-)And guys…Deb, Picselutz and all the 'Photoshop masters' out there…can you do this?Can you create/generate images like these two in Photoshop or other 'cool design and/or photo mastering software'?

It seems that the secret of these pics is that they used some sort of low frequency filters …but how is this possible…They actually change places…ILLUSION? REALLITY?Only Mr. ANGRY Man and Mrs. CALM Woman might know…
HOW is it possible?

Using a technique they described 1994, Philippe G. Schyns & Aude Oliva (1999) hid 2 faces in one hybrid image: one image was high-pass filtered (≥ 8 cpd), the other low-pass filtered (≤ 2 cpd) [reproduced with kind permission].

With normal vision, the higher spatial frequency image ‘wins’. When blurring the image (by whatever means, walking away in thses case!), only the low-pass image remains.This method can be applied to many image types, but with a face exchange it seems especially amazing.
