    Hmmm..yea, it is fun....Laughing.gif. I've been looking and looking and looking at this interesting photo, trying to determine exactly where the cable is connected. It's very interesting yet considerably abstract. I would never have guessed. Interesting colors.

    thanks
    thanks- its sometimes a lonely path with abstract.

    the power cable is running vertically in this- its distorted by the bubble in the windows mylar backing, which also affects the pole. security guard action with this one,unfortunately.

    I'm a pantographer!

    thanks Skippy
    Thanks Skippy,

    They can be a little like clouds-faces and animals appearing from the swirling vapours.

    Can you see a 'marvin the martian' kind of thing on right hand side?

    The power cable is whipped into and around the concave bubble of mylar. i love window defects like this.

    The more defective the reflecting surface ,the better.
