Old or Young???

Is she old or young?

Let's play a funny game. Look at the picture obove in detail. What can you see ? An old woman? Are you sure you don't see anything more? Try again , come on. Maybe you can see a smart young woman too.

If you can only can see the old woman, think her nose could be the young woman's cheek and chin. And the wart on the nose of the old woman could be the nose of the young one. If you look in detail, you will see the mouth of the old woman becomes a beautiful necklace the young woman is wearing.

Psychologists call this “Perceptual investment”.This picture was created by a cartoonist called W.E.Hill on 1915 and it was studied by a psychologist , Dr Boring on 1930. He says , when we look at a picture , our brain groups the elements that apear there according to principles of organization. There are ambiguous drawings like this one that make the brain confused. Depending on the elements we group , our brain sees one thing or another.

F.C. BARCELONA

It's Sunday, Barça football club plays in Barcelona , in the Camp Nou at 17:00. This is the best hour to go to the stadium because I 'm going to be back home early. We are leaders and we are playing a good football , the people are expecting to win again and still be the leaders of the Spanish football league.

I love going to see Barça playing. It's a kind of a ritual. I eat with my entire family like all Sundays, when we finish eating we stay all together talking. About 16:00 hour, I have a metting with some friends, Barça's members like me. We take the underground to go to the stadium. I like seeing all the different kind of people going to the stadium. You can see people of all ages, from all social classes, from everywere.

I see a grandfather with his grandson who seems to be very excited, this might be his first time going to a football match, he's wearing a scarf with the Barça's logo. The grandfather is telling stories about F.C. Barcelona's football players who were stars in the 50's. I see a pair of sweethearts, I think she has given two tickets for the Barça as a present , it maybe is his birthday or they are celebrating something. There is also an entire family beside me. A woman and her husband and their two sons enveloped with big coats and warmed with two woollen hats and woollen gloves with Barça's logo.

In front of me there is a man , very well dressed, he seems to be worried. He might be thinking about his Barça and the difficult match it's going to be today. Behind him there are two a men seated they seem to work in a kind of manual job, they have big hands , damaged for the hard work. They are discussing about the best strategy to win the team that plays against Barça today.

All these people, my friends and I are going to see what Barça does today. We are going to scream , to suffer , to enjoy seeing our favorite football team. For an hour and a half we are going to leave our problems aside and we all are going to think about Barça's victory. We'll see what happens...
