I couldn’t think of anything shiny for this week’s theme. This may qualify….
This is a photo† of an interesting table lamp that is in my parents’ house in Coimbatore. This is what it looks like when it is lit in a dark room. I don’t have a photo of the piece in its unlit state. It’s made of some kind of translucent plastic with a porcelain-ish finish and it looks good unlit. The basket is pale green with darker green shading and the dogs look very natural with a light tan to dark brown colouring.
† - Shot in 2004 with a Nikon CoolPix E4500. I think I used the ‘Museum’ preset.

Lovely picture it is !! Gives a very nice feeling.
Next time when you visit them, click in unlit state and publish both of them together. It’ll be nice to see the two forms.
Vijay, it looks shiny enough for the theme. I think it is a very interesting piece and it would be nice to see it “in real life”. The dogs are wonderful. Are they sharpees?

I’ll get a picture of the piece in natural light the next time I visit or I’ll get my brother to send me a picture.
JMB: I have no idea what sharpees are!? Shocking as it may sound to you, I’m not a pet person and I don’t particularly like dogs.
What?!
You don’t like dogs?
*laugh*
Sorry I haven’t been by in a while. I have been very busy lately.
later…
Well Vijay, you can be a non-pet person, although I can’t imagine anyone not liking dogs. Were you terrorized by one in your childhood? But sharpees are the Chinese wrinkly dogs and if you google an image search for them I think you’ll find they look like the ones in the lamp.
Fake for next week. Hmm, I wonder.

And you left it at your parents house? If I were you, it would have found place almost immediately in a central area in our living room.
