Points of View

Some things seen from an unusual angle can be difficult to recognise.

They may be everyday objects in close-up which mystify until the process of panning out gives the view of something so familiar as to cause extreme surprise or embarrassment.

The following are three examples of such things. See if you can fathom out what or where they are..............

Number 1. Found in most older UK houses as a fundamental part of the structure and as an amenity. There is an increasing trend for these to be built into new homes or retro-fitted. I did think that this resembled an opening credit for a classic James Bond Film as a view down a gun barrel awaiting the arrival of a silhouetted figure and the would be assassin copping it for good.



Number 2. A fancy geometric shape spanning a large open space. The photo does not do justice to the scale and magnificence of the architectural design and also the visual impact.





Number 3. A large bolted connection on a piece of oversized machinery. The view downwards may give a clue as to the whereabouts of the object if you are, of course, not afraid of heights.
