Cornflake ( or anyone) do you ever get hooked or caught into these type of scenes in IRL? It's a strange maybe awkward question to ask, but it's almost like a drug to get caught into the details of things like this. A transcendence effect or a zone in of the mind of some sort.

Damn yes. There's barely a day passes where I haven't been stopped dead in my tracks by a colour, shadow, shape, angle, symmetry, contrast, texture, alignment, space, movement ...
Something latches into place and the world "goes away" so there is only me and what I'm looking at - actually, it's more like blending
with than looking
at.
The constant buzzing of thought stops and is replaced by a flood of... something. A peace, a warm and rich
stillness I can't really describe. Sometimes things are almost overwhelmingly beautiful or interesting, but still in a really nice sort of way, and then the feeling takes on shades of being deeply moved - almost to tears.
And usually, when I try to explain this to people and get them to see what I see - they look at me like I'm barking mad...
