@odd You're right about the sun, but the materials are off.

@cliffordbeshers I would love to take part of these, but I'm the worst at figuring this stuff out! @odd seems to have "microscope" eyes, it's as if he's seen all of them before!

@maique I understand. This one might be suitable for you, though. I hope it stands on its own, without the puzzle.

@cliffordbeshers It does not, I'm sorry to say 🤣 I think I'm seeing a wall of some sort, but the white part looks like it was created by a computer!

@maique Wall of "some sort" is right. No digital computers except in my camera.

@cliffordbeshers Is it an ice sheet on the water, plus some rocky ice beneath the surface, with the sunlight shining on it?

@cliffordbeshers An ashtray with smoke coming out?

@maique No. Colder. Non-smoker, for one thing...

@cliffordbeshers It could have been second-hand smoke 😇 Ice-cream container?

@maique /me looks at the photo for a long time.

No. Not smoke, not steam. Light puzzle.

@cliffordbeshers I think it's something underwater in a container.

@vincent No water. No container. But some plastic.

@cliffordbeshers Is it remains of plastic that has covered the darker surface?

@odd Old plastic covering is involved. No bread. No food, no water.

@odd Not a painting, but there is paint. Perhaps it would help if I said the scale is small, no more than 10cm wide, likely less.

@cliffordbeshers A cobweb on something painted?

@cliffordbeshers Light reflecting on a painted wooden fence piece. Reflection is coming from ... well, you've said old plastic covering so I'll say plastic covering a bucket.

@cliffordbeshers I've seen patterns like that on a ship's hull so the reflection could be from water ... on the plastic.

@cliffordbeshers part of a window? The only reason I said underwater, or perhaps window, is that I see artefacts above it.

@acfusco Light reflecting off plastic onto something painted is correct. No bucket, no fence.

@acfusco No water involved here. There are wave-like structures, but you wouldn't call them waves.

@vincent The painted wood is part of a hand-made window frame.

@cliffordbeshers So it’s a window frame in a shed, with a broken plastic window?

@odd Nope. Hand-made window in my house, built by a shop teacher, forty years ago. So, where might the plastic come in?

@cliffordbeshers Did you just put some cling film/gladpack in your window? Else, I give up.

@odd Yes, it is the 3M insulating film from last winter. The tape has failed and the plastic curled up. Pictures tomorrow.

Here is a zoomed out view of the window, the 3M film collapsing, and the resulting caustic reflections.

@cliffordbeshers Makes more sense now. I’ve never seen such film being used before. Are the windows one pane of glass? (Building code here demands double paned as a minimum I think).

@odd It’s a big picture window, but built by hand with two by fours and single paned glass. Some of them are stained glass. I have nearly replaced it five or six times, but then I worry about losing the uniqueness. But it leaks, air and water. So the shrink wrap gets me through the winter. But at some point, it will have to go.
