I love this photo of an upside down house in Europe for its genius and exactness, but also for how it challenges our orientation and leads almost everyone to tilt their head ‘to see it better.’ Are the corners of the ‘roof’ still peaks of gables, or do they now make the bottoms of “V”s? If you look out from these windows, will the world itself be upended? How do we define up from down, right from wrong, vision from illusion? How cemented are our views about what is and what could be? Are we willing to paint ourselves out of the corners of our mind where we’d comfortably assumed we knew all that was to know, only to realize a whole world still awaits in readiness to shake our understanding?
For The Photo Challenge
There was a house like this in south Florida back in the ’60s & ’70s and every year a local car dealer would install the latest model car upside-down in the carport outside the home. Great memories, thanks.

Cool! Google images of Wonderworks in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee for an upside down mansion you can go into!

This one you can go into, as well. My niece has several photos she’d taken from inside the house–everything inside is upside down as well. Even the garage.
