The attached are from a previous post ( above ) and have been put through some additional enhancements, for a reason. Reviewing why they seemed so controversial, it struck me that a plausible reason I was the only one ' seeing things ' on this picture, was training. After 10 years I have found a few easy techniques, and some excellent programs, that, with your indulgence, I would like to pass on to you. When viewing these pics, get comfortable, zoom a bit till the pics fill mabee two-thirds of your screen. The first pic is the same previously posted. The second is a bit of zoom, the third closer yet. The final four are simply variations in detail, contrast, shading, sepia, etc. Here, on these four, will the first training lesson begin. Zoom a bit, as mentioned. Now focus soely on the darker areas, the grey or sepia variants, completely ignore or block out the lights and brighter areas. Now follow, very slowly, the grey shades, to the next grey shaded area, slowly, slowly, to the next. The mind is used to focusing on the lighter, then filling in the darker shades and colours. We are reversing this process. It is not 'tricking the mind' so much as training, or retraining, the eyes interpretation of what is present. So do just that on the last four pics, each for even a minute. Follow the 'shades' till you become sensitive to the slight variations. These will begin to register as they really are ... the ruins. Of fallen masonry and blocks, of still standing columns, the huge tank-looking containers that lie in parallel rows form 'streets', and seem to go on to the horizon, and so much other detail previously unregistered will become visible and recognizable. Remember too, we are looking at alien ruins, the plan of the builders we might not quite comprehend and the purpose of which we have no idea, especially in their ruined state. Thus we are set back a bit in recognizing something for which we have no previous comparisons. Remember, focus unwaveringly on the darker and shades, even for a minute a pic. Then lean back, close your eyes for 3 seconds or so, then look at the picture, in the shades again. This procedure should allow you to grasp a new dimensionality and reality of the picture actually present, and will easily appy to others as well. My previous error was to send out pics that were quite clear to me, but which another viewer might not readily see. And remember, these pics were not taken with a Hasselblad at 100 yards. They have travelled 250 million miles, been put through sophisticated algorythms, NASA's " usual ", and finally been passed off on us ( as the 'real McCoy' ). That we have gotten through this obfuscation, and other tricks, and recovered some reasonably recognizable pics, is suprising, and encouraging, indeed. So, please, give it a good try, even for a day or two, and report your results back as you see fit. ( need attach pics seperately ) -Morbius
