My photo of the river from the train window got photobombed by another passing train, and I quite like the result!

@InvaderXan that's such a cool effect and I love it even more because it's an accident! reminded me of this (not as spectacular) photo I took in Switzerland last year.

@anarchiv
There's something rather interesting about this effect of having a picture within a picture, don't you think?

@InvaderXan absolutely! one of my philosophy professors once held a lecture about the iconography of the Frame which was super interesting.

@anarchiv
Oh, that does sound interesting! Can you tell me any more...?

@InvaderXan well his general idea was "the frame is the part of the picture that's telling you 'this is a picture'", kind of like the way quotation marks tell you it's a quotation

@anarchiv
Hmmm... So an artist can play with that perception by creating frames within frames. Thinking about it, I've seen a few photographers do this kind of thing quite effectively...

@maloki
I was so surprised when I saw the actual picture. I was totally expecting to just find some blurry garbage!

@InvaderXan you could probably make some good money on this image

@maloki
You're actually not the first person who's suggested I should think about being a photographer.

Maybe I really should think about it...

@InvaderXan That is an amazing photo! Good job.

@InvaderXan This is amazing, love it!
Yet another proof that luck usually finds you trying :)
