Photo: Seeing Things in Transit

What we see isn't necessarily what's there. Take the logo of TransLink, Metro Vancouver's public transit provider, visible on the front of the second-generation Mark II car photographed below during a stop at Metrotown Station. When I first arrived in Vancouver, and for a while after I returned for good, all I could see in that logo was a dude bodysurfing - the dot is his head, the squiggle his body, and the arc his board. It was only rather later that I came to the conclusion that it was probably supposed to be the sun, a mountain, and the coast instead.

I can be empty-headed sometimes. And by sometimes I mean frequently.
