But what it is is a picture of a candle-holder that I took the other night as I was messing around with the various settings on my camera - trying to to get the best results I could manage in low light.
The workflow that brought you this image involved a combination of clicks, switches, snaps, time lapses, stop-ups and stop-downs and a bleary-eyed determination for the damn thing to be in focus.
To non-photographers the process was a akin to dancing the hokey-kokey while simultaneously reciting the lyrics of Phil the Fluter's Ball - until I arrived at the lad you see below, of which I am strangely proud!
Yet if I were to make a point 'twould be the same as the one I made on FB - simply that it is amazing how a mundane item, in this case one bought by my better half for about a euro in Dunnes Stores last year, can become an intriguing, even mystical, thing when paid more attention to than normal!
And now that I mention it, there might even be a lesson in there for all of us too, a chairde!
More soon ...
That's the wonderrrr ...
Had no idea what the image was until I read the text. It's fascinating how the everyday can be fascinating. And that's fascinating. Beauty can be found everywhere, except in the Meath 80s team.
