like, you're going through your social media feed, scrolling some arbitrary amount with your finger on the mouse wheel, and you stop in such a way that you see this on the bottom of your screen.

a close up of a gray pvc pipe against a dark stone sloping surface. what appears to be a white substance is pouring out of the opening of the pipe.

and you think "oh man, is this one of those fatbergs people find in the sewers, slowly oozing its way out? and you scroll down to see this.


the same image with the bottom half now visible. the dark stone sloping surface is revealed to be the sides of a canal, leading into water. the white substance is revealed to be the long neck of a white swan whose head is placed entirely within the pipe.

and I just think that's beautiful.

Years ago I saw this ad on Facebook for a motorcycle race, and it happened to be positioned on my screen with only the top half of the photo displayed, which featured the track heading off into a turn. I wasn't really thinking about what I was expecting to see on the bottom half of the photo once I scrolled, but presumably someone on a motorcycle was what I would expect if I was bothering to expect something. It was sort of a surprise that instead it was a dozen women in very revealing clothing... I mean, not that big a surprise given marketing and all but...
