EXPLORER - How to be an explorer of the world (exploration #11)

For this week I chose exploration #11: collect multiples of one thing. Lay them out in front of you. Observe them in detail. List the differences you see. Try to document at least twenty-five things. In the picture below you see 10 pine cones. In the list below I will try to describe twenty-five differences.

1. shape
2. colour
3. old
4. new
5. broken
6. in one piece
7. open
8. closed
9. rough
10. smooth
11. triangles
12. with a hump
13. dots
14. pointing
15. dark
16. light
17. shadow
18. round
19. dirty
20. clean
21. small
22. big
23. in a curve
24. holes
25. long
26. short

I've even reached 26 differences. But it was really hard to find differences. Up to 10 it's easy, but then. You think you've seen everything. But if you look a little closer you'll see that there are much more differences. Most of the differences are also synonyms. What I've learned from this experience is that you have to look further than what you see at first glance. These are 10 simple objects but if you put them together and look at it a little longer you're going to see things that you would normally not see.
