Early morning light
sets a gecko aglow, but
it’s not a gecko.

 
 

My haiga in response to

Early ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #357

harks back to a painting by René Magritte that is a fun way to make a point in epistemology.

  1. Initially seeing the not-gecko as stationary and clinging flat to the wall, I was caught off-balance by the incongruous shadow of its right front foot. As I realized both that foot and the left rear were above the surface, the image came alive. The glow supports that. Well done.

    1. Thanks.  There was barely enough time to get a shot I liked before the light changed.

      Yes, the right front foot is farther from the wall than the others.  Intended or not, it goes with the curve of the body.
