Actually, they're fluorescent.
We have a winner!

You're up, Moonbear.
 
I won't be back for qa little while, so the answer is: streptobacilli
 
Moonbear said:
Bacillus cereus?
No, but you got fluorescent right, so go ahead.

That's one way to win...next one coming very soon. I just need to upload it.

Okay, here it is. Time to make this more challenging again.

That is hard... :confused: I think from the picture you would be looking up at it. Perhaps it is the railing along a pier for ships to dock at. Just a guess...

No, but you're lukewarm.

oh...I think that is rust along the railing...which would make it the railing along a ship of some sort.

Getting a little colder.

Ok, then it's bird droppings...

What kind of pier has white railing? :confused:

Can I just guess that it's a pier in general?

It's not a pier, but your back on the right side of the water again. :biggrin:

Looking at the original photo, I'm not sure if it's rust or bird droppings...could be either.

The only way it could be rust is if there is steel...so by you saying that it could be rust means that it must be steel...

Now I really don't know...I was thinking if it is bird droppings then it must be up somewhere high where birds would use it. So I decided it might be railing along some part of some old Victorian style house but then it would certainly not be made of steel...

I don't know...any hints?

Well, so far, you have that it's railing on something (I'm looking for what that something is) and that it's in the general vicinity/category of ships or docks, but not actually either. Hmm...I think I can also give you that you're right that it's up high...somewhat so anyway. I really don't recall and can't tell from the picture what material the part I'm showing is made of, so that's why I can't be sure if it's rust or bird droppings. It's not necessarily steel, but could be some other painted metal, and it is in a place where birds would be.

A lighthouse perhaps?
Yep! Yay! Here's the full picture I took it from.

It's definitely an eye, but I can't tell on what. Maybe a fish? (If I'm right, someone else can take my turn, I'm going to sleep.)
