Field guide No. 089
Seasonal twist
Winter on one side, spring on the other.
A giant pretzel floats over a mountain lake, one loop framing snowy peaks and the other a blossoming meadow.
Field noteSnow on the peaks and blossom in the valley happen in any alpine May. The hovering pretzel does not.
Also possible, also breaking physics
The porcelain orchardOlive trees fruit olives. Teacups would be a breakthrough in botany, not in logic.

Autumn stillness in a stormWind that stops at a straight line breaks the weather’s rules, not logic’s.
