This is a photograph, by Richard Megna, from Fundamental Photographs, which appears on the cover of the McGraw-Hill Merrill Physics: Principles and Problems.

Describe in as much detail as you can give what precisely you can tell is occurring in this photograph and explain what significance(s) this picture has for human understanding, knowledge, wisdom, perception, discovery, and learning.  This is the kind of vague, open-ended question I normally hate, but there is a point behind it, a point that will be made clear later.  Right now, I do not want to influence your answer by prescribing a narrower, less vague question.  Just do the best you can.  Just look at the picture over time and think about it, and tell me as much as you can about what exactly is being shown and any significance you think the picture itself might have.  Answers should be sent to Rick@Garlikov.com
