I went for a walk one day last August, following tracks of various farm vehicles that criss-cross the property. I trekked behind my brother-in-law's place, and this eerie sight met my eyes. I was startled, and even slightly fearful-what was that odd looking thing, anyway??? An extra-terrestrial??
I'm not one for running from stuff that is odd, at least not in broad daylight, so I took a breath and stepped closer.
I recognized that it was light on the wall of a shed, not an alien. Phew! But why is it so weird?
This is the shot I cropped for last week's post:
No one guessed that the light was reflected from the side of a junked gasoline pump, which didn't surprise me: it's not a commonly found item! However, I enjoyed everyone's comments and imaginative ways of looking at this reflection. It was rather like seeing shapes in clouds: everyone sees something different. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I like it. The reflection still reminds me of a raptor plunging to earth.
That really is the neatest thing. I love the way you cropped it, it looks like a piece of abstract art. Nice capture. Kathy
What I like best is the neat patent on the wall!
...Heavenly reflection!
It´s a real glowing ethereal X-files alien etched to the wall of the shack. Creepy, cool and great!
Dimple,
You are an expert on Reflections.
Playful and creative!
Cool! :)
The reflection really does look like a bird diving head first into the ground.
That's pretty cool, but even so it really looks alien. Kind of like an E.T.'s head. Some of the designs on the wood look like little eyes and the reflection seems to make a strange face with a big head. I have a wild imagination though. :)
Thanks for your comments! :) Such a special and a little weird reflection you've got here! You have got the good eye for the shot! Have a nice weekend! :)

It's cool, maybe a E.T. reflection?
I think sometimes the sun can play with our eyes!
Very interesting post!

Well done! I was kind of way off the mark!
I like it! strange what sun and glass can product when they are together.; So many stories come to imagination!
It looks like a deer with antlers to me. It probably made your day...
So different! I like it a lot.
Eerie looking I'd say
Reflected light produces interesting effects, and you caught this very well.
That is unusual, and a bit eery looking too. I'd never have guessed gas tank, that's for sure.
I really like this shot!
