That's what that dern cube looks like to me when I'm trying to solve it! Beautiful colors and abstract, Gerda.

Thank you very much, Bill. Me, too. I haven't solved the darn thing yet! In fact, I gave up on it a long time ago. Yesterday, I was looking around the house for something to shoot, and started by trying to see what would happen if I put colourful cards behind the empty vase that happened to be sitting on my den table. That didn't work at all. So, I grabbed the cube that also was sitting on the desk, and stuffed it into the neck of the vase to see if that would give me anything more interesting. Then I had fun for 1/2 an hour trying out various sides and configurations of the cube--a lot more fun than I ever had out of trying to solve the cube puzzle!

Beautiful image Gerda. It looks like its been manipulated in Photoshop or something. Very interesting picture. By the way, my son used to be able to pick up a cube and solve it in about 10 minutes. It used to make me so ^8#&*& mad... I never could solve it. I received a new one for Christmas this year and I haven't touched it once.

Thank you very much, Ron. I've seen kids solve the darn cube puzzles in very quick time, too, and it always made me feel like a real dodo. Oh, well! I'm sure there must be somne things that we not so young ones can do better than the young ones can--I just haven't figured out what yet LOL! I upped the contrast and saturation on this and did some cropping and a bit of cloning out, but I didn't do any DA manipulations to this image. I'll submit one tonight that I did apply some DA filters. I'm not sure whether I prefer these cube-and-vase images with or without DA effects.

So glad you have a gallery, Gerda! How else to discover this wonderful abstract, created from a "common" puzzle that has driven so many of us mad? This is a beautiful, shimmering piece of art.
