Brightwork
Vail, Colorado, November 2006 [Click to embiggen]
I like chromed, bright surfaces because they seem to show up especially well through a camera lens. So while walking through the ski village - no, I didn't bump into any celebs, as it was a week before the ski hills opened for business - I came across this small detail that caught my eye.
Any guesses?
Well, this is interesting. I just finished watching the movie "The World's Fastest Indian" and this photo reminds me of a chrome hubcap.
ReplyDeleteStopping by to say hello, Carmi. Wow, you're in a very swanky place! Have fun!
Could it be a stack of chrome trays and chafers - perhaps in an antique/junque shop?
ReplyDeleteI haven't a clue and it's driving me crazy! Keep 'em coming, the answer is always a complete surprise.
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by, your pictures are very intriguing, reminds me of something from an old juke box or antique hubcap
ReplyDeletePlates in a restaurant?
ReplyDeleteYour photographs are beautiful.
ReplyDelete-merly
How about some sort of heater???
ReplyDeleteGreat shot Carmi.
Nice photos.
ReplyDeleteThe asymmetry makes it a tough guess.
Another camera?
Thanks for the visit! Nice pictures, the kind you sit and find several different things in one. I like your prospective.You never know what will make a good picture.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely some sort of gas-powered, heat source, but I don't suspect a cooktop.
ReplyDeleteBack to the photo fun, Carmi? It is great fun, too. Good to see ya!
I'm thinking it might be a chromed tail light? You always keep me on my toes!
ReplyDelete"i don't know ( hisses:) but I like it!"
ReplyDeleteI was attacked by Mozilla robots yesterday... anyone else? whew 250 attempted comments!
Wwhen the war between men and machines begins, I am betting on the machines.
Hmmm...I sit here staring at the chrome photo, when I should be working, lol! I think it's either a hubcap on the back of an antique car, or something on a jukebox.
ReplyDeleteThere. Now I can get on with my day! lol!
By the way, I look forward to enjoying the rest of your blog...and thank you for your visit to mine!
part of the inside of an overhead light?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what it is, but I'm guessing that it was found in a restaurant... maybe I'll get that much right.
ReplyDeleteWell, it looks like a close up of the chrome tire thingy...I cannot think of what you call that...LOL! Oh Yeah...HUBCAP!...But that seems too easy, Carmi....Hmmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteHow about a burner on a stove? I can't belive I am still thinking about this...
ReplyDeletePerhaps a water faucet handle?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure but I DO like the way that chrome jumps out of the photo at you.
OK, my guess is a chrome accent around the lights of a sports car.
ReplyDeletePart of a car??
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking rim from a tire?
ReplyDeleteGlad to see things are going well, Carmi! :) Great shot, as usual.
Kudos to Linda, Roxanne, Tanya and Naomi for narrowing it down to something automotive.
ReplyDeleteHere's the lowdown: As I strolled through the village, I came across a car manufacturer's display. Volvo had placed a lovely burgundy XC90 on a pedestal for everyone to see - and presumably ogle.
This image is a closeup of the driver-side front headlight assembly. I've got a thing for automotive lights, and these seemed so clean and sharp.
Thanks, everyone, for playing along. I've got lots more photo mysteries to share. Stay tuned!
