  1. Immediately after the equinox but before July 1st there is a phenomena named “Backwardsium.” Everything is backwards. You may have failed to notice that your toilet swirled in the opposite direction that it did yesterday. All photos taken on that day are negatives but change back to normal when the Backwardsium period is over. You also may not have noticed that instead of saying “I am coming to visit you” the words actually uttered were “I am going to visit you.” Backwardsium is very subtle and most people pass through the period without noticing. I am pleased that you realized that the sun set in the east that evening. .sotohp ruoy yojne syawla I. yksomoT odlaW

  2. You did a horizontal flip in Photo Shop?

  3. Shoot, cant figure it out but maybe someone else will. It is a puzzle. Looks like you panned right in the first photo, Then left in the second, Then way right in the third. Hummmmmm.

    • You’re pretty good. When I went out and looked east, I saw a beautiful sunset. When I looked west, nothing. I pointed at the sky and took pictures. The first is the center of the three pictures (kind of right from where I was standing). The second is to the left, and the third is way to the right. I’m impressed!

      • WoooHooo! Score! Now I can get on with my day: I have students coming in about an hour. Got to get cracking! Thanks for the comment!; I feel better now! lol

  4. Very clever, Russel, and beautiful pics. ;)

  5. And the moon still appears at 2 in the afternoon ???

  6. Beautiful photos! I can never remember where what sets or when though, so I’m not much help there… ;)
