Distortion

Today was the 4th of the Creative Aging journaling sessions and the topic was memory:  its purpose, usefulness, reliability, etc. Fact vs reality vs imagination. Hence, today's blip title.

I took several photos in the museum with bright sunlight bouncing off the windows and showcases. There were layers of reflections everywhere.  This photo intrigued me most, as everything in this photo is reflected except the journal, windows, wall and pillar.  A number of items were captured that I didn't see at the time. The extra is simpler.  Which do you prefer?

Thanks to Ingeborg for hosting.  Have a wonderful evening!
