Great work, had me guessing...
Scott Browne08-Sep-2006 13:52
Well seen.
Guest 08-Sep-2006 09:04
Excellent! I would never have guessed it was a traffic cone. Very creative :-)
Guest 08-Sep-2006 06:01
difficult one even yo gave us so many clues. Great shot though..
purpod08-Sep-2006 01:28
I'm guessing a speed bump, but honestly, have no clue! Great entry, James!
Cindi Smith07-Sep-2006 23:44
Not sure but I'm sure it has to do with traffic.
Guest 07-Sep-2006 23:42
I agree with Scott - the white bit looks like a water filter. The green and pink colours that are rubbed off on it though, how did they get there? It makes me think of an iron, but I don't understand the shape of the orange bit...
shatterbug07-Sep-2006 23:39
Construction cone? Great shot!
Ray :)07-Sep-2006 23:38
I phoned the Coneline but they had no idea!
chrisse07-Sep-2006 22:50
Something they put on the road to slow you down ?? (don't know the word)

J. Scott Coile07-Sep-2006 20:52
Filter??? Cool composition.
Jen Bixler07-Sep-2006 20:24
Dunno! I am guessing the cone like most others.
royalld07-Sep-2006 20:16
This is a tough one.
Is it reflectors on road construction barriers?
Lee Rudd07-Sep-2006 18:17
something to wear on your head
Bill Miller07-Sep-2006 18:13
A traffic cone !
Zak07-Sep-2006 18:03
no idea!!
wernere0107-Sep-2006 16:53
Everywhere? Don´t know where I have my eyes. Think I haven´t seen this plastic before. Fine miracle.
Guest 07-Sep-2006 16:50
What the heck? I still don't know what this is with your clues.
cool shot,James!
Guest 07-Sep-2006 16:10
No idea. Cool image though.
Djo07-Sep-2006 15:51
Something on the road - a barrier or so???? Josef
Dan Chusid07-Sep-2006 14:09
Well they certainly can't be pimples but of course
they do tend to do that.
: )
Looks man-made whatever it is.
Faye White07-Sep-2006 13:40
fast-food place?
this is a wonderful abstract image!
Deborah Lewis07-Sep-2006 13:40
Have no idea!
Yvonne07-Sep-2006 13:00
Got me too... a real challenge for the grey matter!
Sheila07-Sep-2006 12:37
Is it a witches hat for road works?
Jola Dziubinska07-Sep-2006 12:27
Well captured and hard to know for me what it is.
Guest 07-Sep-2006 12:07
could they be some sort of road construction warning markers
looks like they have some sort of reflective material
will be interested in knowing
Guest 07-Sep-2006 12:06
still have no idea....looked at it for a good 5 mins!!
James Ross07-Sep-2006 12:05
These are seen all over the world and are not specifically British or Scottish. ;-)
Eckhart Derschmidt07-Sep-2006 11:55
Something specifically British? Or Scottish? Absolutely no idea - but I like the image.
Guest 07-Sep-2006 11:42
I have no idea - but I love the image!
Guest 07-Sep-2006 11:26
Plastic tiles, dots and dirt:-) cool image. You were right, thought youd get it being in the hotel game:-)))
laine8207-Sep-2006 10:59
That it's plastic is about as much as I know, James :>)
