Perceptions...

We interrupt this train of Galway-related photographs to bring you this video. I found it through a "video of the day" podcast which shows a youtube video reasonably regularly. It's called "Fishing Under Ice" and as well as being an excellent, clever video, it made me think about perception...



You see it took me a little while (once I saw the bubbles "falling") to realise what was going on, and to realise that I'd expected these guys to be fishing underwater, but the right way up - using harpoons or nets or something - and that something unusual was about to happen to them!

It goes to show that our perception and expectation is coloured by a video's title, and without context, our own experiences.

It's really clever. I like it a lot, hope you enjoyed it!

A great song for a nice cold beer and a barbecue

It's the "I Like Beer" song! Which I found embedded at this website, but thought I'd share with you myself! It's a nice day for a cold one, must be nearly time to light up the barbecue! No road trips today, just some weather-related moseying and reading and a few bits round the house - only a small few mind!
