   Reminds me to ► Oingo Boingo ♫

   Animals came from miles around
   So tired of walking so close to the ground
   They needed a chance, that’s what they said
   Life is better walking on two legs

   wow, that song is Animal Farm-esque y´know…

   I like this you say on sensory inputs conditioning what we perceive the world is. For a dog the world can be many things, sure, but it is basically a place to be sniffed. Sniffable.

   I realized this in a special way last year observing my litle niece (daugther of a friend) growing up. Jesus, for a baby the world is mainly… suckable! And cryable-.

   Then, touchable it seems. Then talkable, I guess, but she didn´t arrive to that part yet. Then… climbable? runnable? playable?

   How could we say the world is for a grown up human, in a general sense, following this thought about sensory inputs? Thinkable?

   Me too – I was expecting an extreme macro shot… but I can’t say I’m disappointed!

   The dog looks like he’s standing in a giant nostril. Thus the caption takes a different meaning. A nose explored by a nose… (or self-referential nose spelunking?).
   Ceci n’est pas une caverne.
   Maybe the dog’s nose is being explored by a flea at the same time.
