Weekly Photo Challenge: Selfie

This is not the picture I thought I was going to take.  I thought I was going to place my camera outside, set the timer, and then quickly run inside to pose through the window.  That seemed a lot more fun before I looked at the thermostat.  

Inside, looking out the window, the blue sky and bright sun  juxtaposed against the snow.  My weather app taunted me . . . minus one degree!  A flash struck my eye; refracting sun through a crystal prism hanging from my window latch.  Curious, I held it in front of my camera lens and clicked.  I was left with this eerie image, reminiscent of the many facets of the self.

One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego; the self is more distant than any star.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
