Last month we ran with the theme Cool, which I won with the photo below. I'd like to thank my family, Instagram followers and lowtax for all their support.



This month's theme is Unidentifiable. Let's see some photos where you have no idea what's going on, as always be as flexible with the theme as you feel. Entries close February 28th-ish.

RULES:
This thread is for posting pics & voting.
1. One submission/poster. Note that you can change your submission as many times as you want, so long as you only have one entry when the voting begins! Edit your post to do this, please.
2. Single photos only - no video, triptychs, or multi-photo entries. Blending exposures into a single image (such as focus stacking, or HDR), is ok though.
3. Photos must be taken during the period of the contest. No pulling out old favorites!
4. Contest will be open until the last day of the month at 11:59 p.m. EST after which voting will begin.
5. Voting will continue until some time after that, probably around midnight the evening of the 2nd or 3rd.
6. Use your best judgement/good taste when venturing into territory.
7. When voting, please deploy the spoiler tag.

I or the mods reserve the right to amend the rules if necessary

Winner picks the next theme, and makes the new thread!

My vote goes to tk as well. It’s eerie, and I have no idea wtf is going on! Some really good submissions from others though too.

Congrats on the prestigious award, Joat Mon!

My picture was of the keyboard of my laptop, taken with a macro lens. Specifically, the "." key. It was taken at an angle so the LED lights beneath were visible, and focused on.

For anybody interested, you can find subject of this photo with some more context in some of my other work.

I thought the colors were inverted on that, but couldn't parse what the dots were or what kind of fixture it was.

Mines a tropical succulent. But I don't think I confused anyone as it was.
