About the Image(s)
This is a photo of a motorbike cylinder head. It was the lines and shapes that drew me, but later I realised that the cylinder head bolt looks a bit like an eye.

I was fascinated in this image before discovering it was a cylnder head.The sweeping curves lead me to the fish's eye - mysterious object Posted: 10/07/2026 21:26:23
Yes, I see it's a bit fishy now! Posted: 10/08/2026 09:39:06
The lines draw my attention to the "hidden eye". Nicely seen considering all the motorcycle parts that must have been laying around. Posted: 10/14/2026 17:11:24
It takes a creative mind to find beauty in junk, but this works well. I like the light tones you captured in the metal. Posted: 10/20/2026 23:34:00
