Thom had a great idea for this week's theme:

It might add a bit of "scavenger hunt" to the process.

Sounds like fun to me!

Oh that is a great theme. Good idea Thom, love it

Well, I have to search around then, what fun.

Datura's looks like a drop of blue food coloring to me .. but that's the obvious guess.

Here's mine:

**Datura** · Mar 16, 2008 07:10

Yes, Food color it is

Hmmm, tough. It looks like ice in a glass…

That's some sort of fiber, or cloth. Am I right?

No, it was amazing to me as well when I took a series of shots of this. I have more from that location, so later I will post a different one.

A little bit more distance now, same thing as the last picture:

Dat: A Whirlpool/Hot Tub, right?
Warp: Close up of a glass of Vanilla soda? {the bottom of the glass}

**ParkinT** · Mar 16, 2008 10:27

This is NOT an extreme close up.
Let's see if I am able to fool you with careful cropping.

No, but close to that. It is a faucet turned on high running into the sink.

**akritic** · Mar 16, 2008 12:12

A faucet is a tap, right?

Yes

I just turned the volume up high, and held the camera close to where it splashes and creates this motion.

That looks like the inside of a plane or a bus.

Nope for both. I'll let it go for a bit longer ... bwaa haa haa.

**Datura** · Mar 16, 2008 16:35

I think Thom's is a little model airplane

**ses5909** · Mar 17, 2008 05:14

Hmmm, warps looks like a glass of sand.

Dats: Mcdonalds?
Thom: a movie theater?

THE GOLDEN ARCHES!
An American Icon

Warp was correct on my submission: the interior of a small commuter plane.

**ro0bear** · Mar 17, 2008 06:54

Ooo this looks fun, I will have to dust my camera off and get snapping!

Corrrect

I debated if I should leave the red sign visible or not, that gave the clue.

**Datura** · Mar 17, 2008 10:03

Very misleading this one I think, but you guys are so clever

should be easy.

@datura - hmmmmm, maybe a workout machine or a set of speakers?

**Datura** · Mar 17, 2008 10:16

No

I will let this one ride a bit I think.

**ro0bear** · Mar 17, 2008 11:06

Datura - is it trafic lights? or pedestrian crossing lights?
