Everything I need to see in order to understand it is in the picture but it would probably take me a long time to figure it out. In this way it reminds me of a B&W photo I saw a long time ago, photographer unknown, of a Ford Trimotor airplane parked in front of a corrugated metal building. If you recall what the Trimotor looked like, it was also made of what looked like corrugated metal. At first glance the photo was a wild jumble of lines running practially every direction but once you understood that it was the Trimotor the whole thing made sense.
