There are at least a couple of clues visible within (plus you can check the description tags to cheat, if you&#8217;re that pathetic.) Pause here, if you like, and examine the photo carefully to see what you come up with.<\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;ve given up, or alternately think you&#8217;ve got it locked, you can use <a href=\"https:\/\/ww.flynova-pro.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">this link<\/a> to explain it<strong>;<\/strong> this was a christmas gift from The Girlfriend, because she knows the kind of simple little things that can nevertheless be a blast to mess about with. This was shot intentionally for the month end, part of some idle experiments with time exposures. If you <em>did<\/em> look closely, you likely saw the evidence of the bathroom faucets in there, since I bounced this off of the mirror while the room was dark &#8211; this was probably the coolest path out of a handful of exposures. The large mirror and the limited space to disappear into helped a bit &#8211; I thought of doing this outside, but knew it would be easy to have the gizmo get too far away and appear very small in the frame.<\/p>\n<p>I have to say, the cats are <em>not<\/em> fond of this &#8211;  too noisy and unpredictable. Perhaps we&#8217;ll see if an owl is less threatened by it.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, celebrate safely, and not what Republicans consider &#8220;safe&#8221; either, but real, sensible safety, the kind that you won&#8217;t regret later on. Have good eats, enjoy good company, achieve good mellow.
