Kaleidoscope world

My fascination with kaleidoscopes go way, way back. As a kid, I'd collect kaleidoscopes, and I'd even go as far as dismantling them in order to see how they work. I was surprised to see that the wonderful patterns that I saw were just bits of colored paper and mirrors. But that never dampened my enthusiasm for these colorful visual toys.

It's a fascination that I carry with me until now. In fact, I named one of my lessons in my AVP class after the kaleidoscope. And I was surprised that not everyone knew what it was.

At the Mind Museum, there's this giant kaleidoscope on the 2nd floor. Needless to say, I gravitated towards that and snapped this photo.


This snapshot automatically brought me back to my colorful childhood.
