What Is This, the Reveal

There were a lot of guesses to the What Is This? in last week's Friday Funnies post. 
Good news is that several folks were absolutely correct ! 

You ALL know who you are as there were quite a few, but the first one to ID it right on was Brenda, seconded by Sandra and then many others. 

It just goes to show that fooling some folks can be tough. Still, it was fun to read the other IDs which included a lighthouse, tower. chimney stack, building vent and staircase rail. 

Yes, it's an outdoor trash receptacle that was photographed in downtown Nashua, NH.
Far too many times commonplace things catch my attention and I'm too easily amused (just ask Grenville). This gets me wondering if such images would intrigue others too.

Thanks for playing along and there may be similar posts in the future.

You tricked me! Now I see it!

Good one! Enjoyed this! Have a great week, you two!

I would have never guessed!

Boud said...

That was fun, yes, please do more. As soon as I saw the trash can guesses I thought oh, small, that must be right. I had your factory environment in mind, so wrong!

Tom said...

...I should have been able to figure that out!

I missed the post and guessing (still slow to get around) but it's a neat looking trash receptacle.
Nice pics of Nashua River with snow/ice, although I am looking forward to better weather.
Have a great week!

I admire your powers of observation. So many people would walk right by such an interesting shadow.

Sandra said...

I've seen many of those trash containers. I knew right away! I like you observations and am not always aware like I was this time.

Linda G said...

What a great shadow.

Val Ewing said...

Photography is a lot about observation and seeing things in and out of context that others don't see. Well done, I doubt I would have been able to see this the way you did.

Rita said...

That one is prettier than most! :)

Fun picture! I like having such puzzles to try to solve. Thank you!!

MadSnapper n Beau said...

if I walked past that trash can I would have at least a dozen pics of it... the ordinary is what catches my eye and even more so when sunshine and shadows are involved

Hahaha very clever!

I didn't see your Friday post, but of course I went back to it. Very clever photo! I'm not sure I would have solved that quiz. I also love the photos of the frozen river in the Friday post. In Tübingen where I lived for 22 years, the river would froze completely in very cold winters and we could skate on it. Being Germans, quickly a booth that sold Glühwein (mulled wine) was erected at the shore, so after skating we would stand in the cold and drink hot Glühwein. Making the best of a freezing winter day. Back then I was still riding my bike in those conditions - well, I was much much younger then. Enjoy your week! Hugs - Carola
