Picturing a World

Tofanelli's tiny islands

At first glance, I thought this image depicted a slightly surreal, imaginary place. Scrolling down through additional images at the Lines and Colors post on Alesandro Tofanelli increased that impression until I caught on, no!, they are probably real! Tiny places like the Thimble Islands off the Connecticut coast. Each one might prompt a story about a small isolated place and the peculiar outlook of either the artist who depicted it or the person who chose to inhabit it. Or, of course, indeed a story about an imaginary tiny floating world.
