the foreground contains warm or red/yellow tones. the background becomes cooler, more blue, and has ssontrast as it recedes. in exploring depth illusion, the renaissance artists used their magic one of the most intriguing was anamorphic art. in the 1490s, leonardo drew the first known anamorphic, or stretched, image. when seen from a normal viewing spot, from the front, it looks like nothing more than a pool of water. however, when viewed from an extreme angle, it takes on a new appearance. one of the first to master the anamorphic technique was a german artist, erhard schoen. schoen created anamorphic illusions that disguised double meanings within the images. for example, in this picture puzzle, schoen mixes portraits with scenes from an historic battle. with comic portraits, while contrasting them with the serious nature of the battle, giving a new twist to an art form as old as government itself: political satire. portraiture became one of the more common uses of anamorphic art. probably the most famous example of anamorphic art

you see the fire boat, looks like a fire boat in the foreground shooting water onto the flames. we don't believe there's any direct access to this island. there's the fire boat shooting the flames and a helicopter in the air doing air drops. we do believe there are some firefighters on the ground. wind here isn't a factor. we've been hearing that from bill martin. it is safe to say it's dry out there because of a lack of rain. allie rasmus is on her way. we spoke to her a couple of minutes ago and should be there momentarily and should have her up and running in 15 minutes or so with new information on this fire. in the meantime we'll keep working to get more information and bring it to you as we get it. >>> now to a warning who people who live near ponds. hundreds of birds found dead there are now believed to be linked to avian colara. tonight tests confirm there's a cholera outbreak and the dry weather may be to blame. >> unfortunate we're losing birds but it's a natural occurring thing and due to the weather and lack of rainfall it's probably contributed to the factor of the

if you look in the foreground here at 1st street, the intersection, this is what you will encounter on residential roads. this road appears to have been treated to a degree but not to the extent that new york avenue has and not to the extent that the traffic that is involve thursday is causing the roads to be somewhat clearer. on the curb lanes, be careful, too. it's going to be slushier there. as per pedestrians, look behind me. you see a sidewalk that has not been treated. there have been people coming by. not a lot. but enough to put tracks down that you can probably walk in where the snow has been compressed to a certain extent. but you have to walk carefully. and as darcy spencer told me, sometimes you'll find people walking in the travel lanes because the sidewalks haven't been treated at all. that is definitely something you want to watch out for. be you a pedestrian or motorist. you definitely don't want to encounter someone have to make a panic stop on compromised road conditions. all of those things said, if you're careful, if you watch out, if you leave distance between the

at about -- you can see some of the black smoke on this hill behind me and see the homes in the foreground, that's the concern. we've got 500 officially fire fighting personnel battling this blaze in the air mostly. helicopters and fixed wing aircraft dropping water and flame retardant on this fire which continues to advance, slowly i must say right now, toward these homes in this area. there have been some homes burnt to the east of here. we do not have an update on the number. they say as i mentioned 500 personnel. i think that number's going to go up. i just saw two fire engines go by me from newport beach and huntington beach. if you know southern california, that's probably 50 miles from where we are. a lot of fire agencies coming in to try to knock this fire down as quickly as possible. the main concern unseasonably warm temperatures and high winds are forecasted for this afternoon. we've got temperatures forecasted in the 80s. and we're talking it's january. so obviously it's unseasonably warm, unseasonably dry. california now in its third year of drought. so authorities making a ve

very much like i you had, obskura, like if you had a photograph you focused on one area and the foreground was not focused, because of the depth of field, you would see these little circles of confusion in unfocused areas, well in the girl with the red hat that is exactly what you see, these are wonderfully diffused very liquid strokes that sort of define that, and exactly the qualities that you see in a camera obskura in an unfocused portion of that image. >> rose: okay. explain this to me. >> well, arthur whelock, you know, he sees those photographic qualities. >> rose: yes. >> but apparently until i thought of this mirror, the theory -- the strongest people have believed most that vermeer used optics was that he would just look at an image on a screen and then turn and start to paint, and be inspired by the look of that image and nobody really had a solution to go from that to the canvas. >> rose: right, right. with the eyes. >> yes. >> there was, phillip stedman did some really interesting. >> rose: right, right. >> research. >> rose: go ahead. >> well phillips stedman was an architect
