Oriental photographic mystery


Patterned
Shanghai, China, May 2007 [Click to enlarge]

I thought it might be a good time to reintroduce the Photographic Mystery feature. It's been a while, so let's dive right into it, shall we?

Your turn: So, what is this? Be creative...being right isn't as important as having fun with it. I'll reveal what it is a week from today.

    Rooftop?
    Roped bridge?

    These are always so fun!

    They look some form of irrigation lines to me but personally I like the humor of the hockey puck line Stacy threw out there. I don't get as many comments in as I'd like these days, but I ALWAYS enjoy your posts Carmi!

    Hugs,
    Holly

    I thought it might be tread/texture on a mat?

    Sitting here shaking my head...I don't have a clue. But as usual, a very unusual photo.

    My first thought was roof top, but it also looks like it could be rows of some sort of food (what exactly I couldn't say).

    I think it is a roof...BUT, the creative part of me says it is pieces of bread that have been over toasteed and lined up to look like a roof! (LOL) Well, you said be creative, Carmi...

    Like many others here my first thought was roof tiles as well.

    It could of course be a noodle line. This would therefore be the part where the noodle clumps are stacked and dried after harvesting from the noodle fields before being unravelled by hand and packaged. No?

    I looked at this quickly and thought I'd scroll down and Carmi will enlighten me....
    just not this time though! :)

    Tired wee brain cells here today...

    roof tiles look about right, now I've just got to remember to check back and find out

    I am trying to catch up on reading and I've enjoyed all your stories and photos from your trip!! Very interesting stuff!!

    I have no clue as to what this is.

    First guess - the roof of a pagoda type building. Second guess - stacks and stacks of used car tyres (though I suspect my first answer is more likely)

    Most of you got it pretty precisely: this is a closeup of a traditional pagoda-style roof on the Buddhist temple that we visited near the market district.

    The curved pattern attracted my eye, and I just couldn't look away.

    Thanks for playing along! I'll do this again soon. Real soon.
