Framed

 
"Some people see the glass half full. Others see it half empty.
I see a glass that's twice as big as it needs to be."
(George Carlin)

The German philosopher and writer Friedrich Nietzsche said that there were no facts, only interpretation. Not sure I agree with that one hundred percent, but I do believe that a scowl can often be seen as a down-turned smile. At the end of a trying, humid and heavy day in Brighton, I thought these pictures might just tug at the corners of someone else's mouth; in a good way.
Perspective and perception are not the same thing and can be either easy bed-fellows or ferociously divorced from each other. May your heart always see clearly what the sun or rain in your eyes has obscured. And if your glass looks empty, may you always find a friendly stream.
Thank you to John R. and Eleni for the photos.
