A few nice change background image images I found:

RTM-1 is the pair of blue spots just above the large magenta galaxy in the lower left. There are six more suggestive blue spot pairs in this field.
RTM-1, closeup view in #21, is very like CSL-1, only blue and more separated, but with the similar equality of size and color. It turns out that there are so many easily found pairs of all sizes, down to single pixel bright spots separated by a pixel space, that statistical studies are appropriate.
If you inspect this carefully, especially holding a 4 inch reading glass close to both of your eyes, focussing on the tiny bright blue sources, you will easily discern many suggestive pairs, right down to the limit of two single pixel spots separated by a pixel, or even the many double pixel spots.
The two sides of the convex reading glass function as opposed prisms, separating the reds and blues in such a way as to make the reds appear about a centimeter closer, creating a lovely, revealing 3D image, while moving the glass back and forth can flexibly adjust the smoothness and the sharpness of the image.
I found that using a 6"X5" concave glass, which in effect has prisms opposed in the opposite direction of a convex lens, makes a smaller overall image in which the blues appear closer than the reds, which I surmise is the actual reality for these images for the tiny, subtle background features, the myriad minute bright blue sources on the apparently more distant, dark magenta mesh.
The 1-2 mm red and blue sources are much closer galaxies, with their apparent colors determined by their actual temperature and the amount of redshifting, which grows linearly with distance. Much nearer to us, of course are the three 1-5 cm galaxies, while the central red star is very much closer, in our own galaxy.
This field is 61 sec wide = 1 minute.
Theory predicts that many more cosmic strings would have been formed early in the drastic phase changes during the very early expansion of our Universe bubble, and that these strings would decay by vibrating fiercely and interacting with themselves and each other, giving off energy as gravitational radiation, and so decreasing in number per volume of space. Hence, there should be more gravitational lens pairs appearing as we view earlier and earlier epoches.
This can be researched by software that measures accurately the rate of pairing as the size of the pairs decreases, leading to accurate information about the cosmic strings and thus cutting edge areas of fundamental physics.
If it is possible to extract Doppler shift information, subtle red and blue light shifting, from the single or few pixel pairs, then gravitational lens pairs could be distinguished from pairs in close, rapid orbit around each other.
If the orbital periods were less than a few years, then closeups from different times might find shifts suggestive of orbiting pairs, and disclose enough information to get the orbital periods.
Since some strings may be moving, rotating, or vibrating at relativistic speeds, above 10% of the speed of light, their gravitational lensing effects on more distant galaxies may change visibly within a few years. his could be checked by having a dedicated ground telescope maintain a constant vigil on a fixed small region of the deep sky for years.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_strings Wikipeia encyclopedia article on cosmic strings and CSL-1:
'Cosmic strings, if they exist, would be extremely thin with diameters on the same order as a proton. They would have immense density, however, and so would represent significant gravitational sources. A cosmic string 1.6 kilometers in length would exert more gravity than the Earth. Cosmic strings would form a network of loops in the early universe, and their gravity could have been responsible for the original clumping of matter into galactic superclusters.'

You don't need to explain if everything's changed, just know I'm just like you.

Southend On Sea tilt and shift
Image by Andreas-photography
This hasnt worked very well, really for a good tilt and shift the wide angle lens is a must, also i was to short to see over the panels at pier hill so took a chance and swung the camera over the top
I did this a different way this time
duplicate background image, add about 4-6 Gaussian blur
then add a level adjustments layer just click ok dont change any thing, move the duplicated layer above the adjustment layer and group together (ctlrg)
next click on the mask next to the levels adjustment layer select gradient tool black and white preset select reflective, hold down the shift key and draw a line from where the image meets the horizon to about half way down
then its just a case of tidying up before you merge the image
