Staircase

Spiral staircase

This photo caught my eye because at first glance it looks almost like a turned eye. Can you see the blue iris embedded with rays of darker color that resemble a human eye? It’s intriguing, isn’t it, and beautiful also with the blue and gold colors.

At first glance, people may notice our turned eyes too. But if they look closely enough, they will also see the beauty of God’s handiwork in us. If they don’t take time to see the beauty, whose eyes are turned then?

The dark streaks that radiate from the center are muscles that dilate and constrict the pupil. I found an interesting link about the iris of the eye:

About Lois (admin)

I've lived with strabismus over half a century. Also called crossed eyes, lazy eye, turned eye, squint, double vision, wall eyes, floating, wandering, wayward, or drifting eyes, approximately 1 in every 25 to 50 people suffers from this condition. Strabismus not only affects vision. Many suffer social embarassment, lost job opportunities, and a host of other problems. Yet, living with eyes apart forces us to adapt, meet the challenge, and become stronger.
