"Tell me," the great twentieth-century philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein once asked a friend, "Why do people always say it was natural for man to assume that the sun went round the Earth rather than that the Earth was rotating?"
His friend replied, "Well, obviously because it just LOOKS as though the Sun is going round the Earth."
Wittgenstein responded, "Well, what would it have looked like if it had looked as though the Earth was rotating?"
Quoted in The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins
We always need to wonder what's spinning whether considering the world or the truth.
I captured this photograph during a 'false' Spring day. Two additional snow storms came later that month. I walked here many times before but a different light and season created a new view.
Taken near the western end of the trail, just off the Becks Road in Duluth.
