Spilled coffee on my garage floor last Tuesday and it looked like a mountain range

I was rushing out the door for a job in Des Moines and knocked my whole thermos over. The way the dark roast spread across the concrete looked exactly like satellite imagery of the Rockies. Has anyone else had a mess turn into something you'd hang on a wall?

Notice how even our mistakes can turn into something beautiful if you look at them right.

That's rough about the coffee spill, but honestly that's a pretty cool way to look at it. I've had a few spills turn into things like a weird Rorschach test or a map of someplace, but never something that actually looked like art. It's kind of amazing how a bad moment can turn into something you almost want to frame, even if it's just in your head. Makes you wonder about all the other little disasters we just clean up without really seeing them. Sorry you had to deal with the mess though, because cleaning coffee off concrete is a pain.
