But having sulked for most of the week I will have to stir myself
to post an answer.
(Actually I have been working on the cottage such long hours
outside my day job I just haven’t had a moment to post.)
In my arrogance last week I posted this Image for WIIW and
said “I suspect no one is going to get
100% on this one”
Only someone did! And in the first comment!
So in a vain attempt to salvage some pride I will run
through the not quite correct answers.
Linda G. said... “It's grating of some sort, possibly on
some old historic building?”
Not on a building, but I guess it can be called a grating so
that earns 60%
Old Kitty said... “Erm....
it's an extreme close up of a waffle! “
Not food, nope. But I guess that earns 50 bonus points
for creativity.
Dawn Simon said... “It's a building! Or...maybe a close-up
on an electronic device?”
No, it is neither, and unlike so many WIIW this is not a
close up.
Which brings me to Marcy who commented first with “Looks
like metal or possibly wood grating, like on a drain in the street or on a boat
or maybe a jail. That's my guess(es).”
Well it is, as I said above, a grating and your scatter-gun
approach hit dead on with “on a boat” so I have to award 100%
I took this piccie of a paddle steamer on the Murray
River. Boats like this towed barges laden with agricultural produce across the
whole Murray-Darling river basin from the late 1800s until the early 20th
Century. They almost passed into history with the arrival of the railways in the 1900s, but enthusiasts saved this vessel, and indeed a flotilla of others at the Murray River town of Echuca.
