Monday Mystery

Last week's cropped photo turned out to be a bit of a teaser

DSCN0057

Dave and Ragged Robin were on the right lines when they mentioned the Moon

DSCN0060

It is a Moon lamp. A hollow 15cm model of the Moon fitted with a colour changing LED inside.

I wonder how you will get on with this object

Sunset

After a lovely meal based around British lamb rump steaks there was a terrific Sunset to finish off the remaining daylight.

but is now a firm favourite for throwing about while I get ready to take her out.

You next task is to identify what this is part of

Not Just Dog Walkers

Most mornings we see other dog walkers but occasionally our timing coincides with two ladies giving their horses some gently early morning exercise. This morning I asked them whether I could take a few photographs. They agreed and both ladies and horses patiently waited while my cold fingers fumbled with the Nikon pocket camera. Poor lighting didn't make for ideal photography conditions but a bit of tweaking in Affinity Photo helped to bring them out of the gloom.

Another day I must find a bit of information about the horses.

Starkers

It is now the time of year when deciduous trees discard their leaves leaving their branches naked to the world.

That wasn't what had caught my attention though.
At first I though I had spotted a rising cloud formation

DSCN0029

but by the time we had ambled to the end of the lane it was darkening and dispersing.
In the end I came to the conclusion is more likely to have been smoke from a fire.

Monday Mystery

Last week I showed these three parts of the mystery object

which was correctly identified as

a wheelie bin aka trash or garbage bin by
Adrian, Kev, Ragged Robin, Ellen and Kris.
Well done and thanks to all who had a go.

Here we have three of these. That green one is for garden waste and has to be paid for extra yearly to be emptied. £40 at the moment. Then there is a grey one for recyclable stuff and a smaller black one for household rubbish some of which goes for burning to produce power and that which cannot be burned is sent for land fill. Those two are free, included in the community charge (local rates), and are emptied fortnightly.

Are you ready for the new mystery photo?
This is part of what?
