Green Dimensions

The rolling hills were a spectacularly beautiful dimension of green as I crossed the ridge and glided down to land at Santa Ynez. The old barn by the airport also has a new dimension in the second pic. I've found that seeing the barn in 3D is easier by holding my thumb in front of the left barn with my left eye closed, then switching eyes and moving my thumb toward or away from my eye so that my thumb covers the right barn. Switching eyes a few times I find the right placement for my thumb so that each eye sees only the barn on that side. Then I open both eyes and focus on the peak of the barn. After a moment my brain automatically makes it magically turn to 3-D. If you have trouble, zoom out the image so that it's about 2" wide on the screen or less and try again, and once you get it you may be able to zoom back in to full size. My wife and I can both see it, and I'm curious how many Edhatters will. Shall I send Ed more 3-D photos from the flight?
