Relax in the Ivy Room

In this technological world, we rarely have time to relax and gaze at natural surroundings. Feel free to take a deep breath now, stare at the dark ivy, and imagine you are submerged in some primeval forest, the portal to which is this very page on your screen.

If there is a blinking array of lights above, then something is wrong, deadly wrong. If you stare at one of the dark regions between the ivy leaves for about 60 seconds, a small creature may emerge. However, I suggest you leave this page before 60 seconds have transpired. We need not keep this portal to a parallel universe open for more time than absolutely necessary.
