    No, never even thought about it 😄 I’ve taken a photo with my phone upside down but I love how you flipped this one!

      Thanks, Cathy.

      I’d never stand on my head to take a photo at my time of life, although I used to be able to stand on my head and walk on my hands.

    The blood would rush to my head and I’d probably pass out! But this is fantastically flipped. Hard to tell which way is up!

      I don’t recommend standing on your head to take photos. It’s much easier to flip them using the photo editing tools WordPress offer.

      That’s excellent. It’s hard to tell which one is the right way up.

    “Right side up” depends on the vantage point 😀. For normal situation standing on one’s feet, the image is upside down. I have obtained this scenario several times – but instead of standing on my head, I just rotated the image which is what I believe you did too 😉. My entry here:

      Ahh, you got me. Yes, I used the WordPress photo editing tools to flip the photo. I would never attempt taking a photo while standing on my head. Not at my age, anyway.

    I like the mirrored reflection of the photo… kinda like if the characters on “Inception” went for a fishing trip :) I’ve never taken a photo while standing on my head. Sounds difficult! Would holding your phone upside down also work?

      I guess it would, Dave. I’ll have to give it a go. I’ll let you into a secret and tell you that I was not standing on my head when I took this photo, although it felt like I was. I used some of the WordPress photo editing tools to flip the photo.

    What a brilliant photo Hugh. It’s making me dizzy looking at it. What I also like is the water looks like glass that I think its hard to tell what is real and what is reflection. It really does feel like a mirror image.

      Yes, the reflections in the water help make the photo rather baffling, Brenda. Of course, I wasn’t really standing on my head when I took the photo. If I’d done that, I’d have ended up on hospital. I just flipped it with the WordPress photo software. But I rather like the effect.

        🤦‍♀️ embarrassed to say that option never even occurred to me, lol. I did think you were brave hanging about, dangling by your feet 😆

          Lol, can you imagine the looks I would have got, Brenda? I used to be able to walk on my hands too. But that was a very long time ago.

        If I’m feeling dextrous… And if I have someone to hold my legs! 😂

          That’s sensible to have somebody hold your legs. That’s what I do.

    Can’t say that I have ever had the pleasure… This one? Makes me dizzy studying it. (lol)

      Lol. That what happens when you take a photo standing on your head too. Always best to have someone hold on to you while taking the photo.

      If you do try it, make sure you got somebody to hold on to your legs while you take the photo.
