Yesterday, I said that the ice cavities on my deck reminded me of ones I saw on our trip to Alaska. I thought I had blogged those already, but couldn’t find the post. So here’s what I was remembering.
What I’d forgotten was the scale. To put this in perspective, here’s the same ice cavity with a pair of feet for size reference.
I don’t have a picture of my shoe in yesterday’s photo, but it could have covered the entire ice crystal arrangement.
So much for the accuracy of memories, but that’s another post.

You could lose someone down that cavity.
Yeah – and it’s never someone you’d like to lose, is it?
I used to say that a lot as a teenager…
I used to hear it a lot … and not just as a teenager.
I think the comparison was fine and the scale close enough. Did you see this image on wikipedia lately?

That’s what they mean when they say “putting things in perspective”.
Cheers!
I hadn’t seen that , and it’s great. Still, since we are the center of the universe, size isn’t everything.
