    Why do we see what we see?
    This eBook is where cognitive psychology and photographic art collide head-on in a mind-blowing exposé on the power of apophenia.

    The 133 symmetrical cloud photographs presented in this eBook produce some exceptionally strong visual responses, and this fresh, exciting insight into cognitive phenomena, is sure to ignite the synapses of both scholar and the psychological layman.

    In short, this eBook is an elegant, artistic presentation on the unfathomable power of the human mind.

    The sky has never looked so strange.

      Reflection

      The Square

      Art, Mathematics, Science and Psychology:

      Art has been intimately involved with mathematics since the great secrets of the universal constants were discovered and imposed onto mankind through the canvas and the compass. These universally divine sequences give birth to harmonic codes and elegant angles. These angles entwine to form fractal patterns and geometric symmetries that have besieged a power over the optic tapestry of the human mind for centuries, birthing the natural wonders of mother nature herself, while inspiring and allowing the most miraculous of human creations.

      With regards to symmetry and optical illusionary perfection within a frame or a structure, we now appreciate art and creative flair for its lawlessness - this is the bedrock of the abstract, modern world. yet the main passel of society's most treasured artistic and architectural imprints are as much a lesson in the mathematics of symmetry and precision as they are depictions of the human condition we call life. Symmetry is a universal paradox; it is the simple, yet the complex, the single and the infinite, the tangible and,
