I saw this patch of light on a granite (?) floor in a law office. The light was coming through a pair of glass doors and the edge of the one of the doors created this prism effect. The patch of light was about two inches long.
It's granite. If you point a torch at even the most highly polished granite it will spall exactly like that. It's commmon in landscaping to do that for exterior surfaces so they won't be slippery.
It's wonderful to see a rainbow, no matter where you find it.
ReplyDeleteLaw office?
ReplyDeleteUh, oh.
Roy G. Biv, Attorney at Law. He won't take NO for an answer!
ReplyDeleteThe photo gives the illusion of surface texture of the granite, when I'm sure it had none - highly polished.
ReplyDeleteActually this particular floor was textured.
ReplyDeletevery nice.
ReplyDeleteSo was the lawyer depo-ing a leprechaun?
ReplyDeleteNo doubt he was issuing a collection notice for his pot o' gold.
ReplyDeleteSo it was a "trompe-trompe l'oeil" ... it tricked my eye into thinking my eye was being tricked.
ReplyDeleteCool.

ReplyDeleteI love the little rainbows that pop up in all sorts of unexpected places.
