Unfair or not, I hold you to a somewhat higher standard glatt. I regret that I must reject your answer. You are partly correct, but missing an important element.

Please try again.

Hmmm

Hundreds of flash bulbs going off in the distant stands at a night time sporting event.

Edit: Nah, it's not that.

Must be: millions of moths mobbing the .... lights at a major sporting meet.

KA-billions of moths. Correct!

nice assist glatt. nice shot zengum.

Two more for context. The bats were out that night too. I like the second picture. Kinetic, frenetic. What is the appeal of the flame for the moth anyway?

Cool pictures! Especially the long exposure one.

Why do moths do that?

I've seen some prolonged debate on it, the leading theory seems to be that moths navigate by the moon, flying either straight toward it or at a fixed angle relative to it.
If it is straight toward, then as soon as a they see a light the buzz straight in. If they are trying to keep it at an angle, say, 30 degrees to starboard, they will start to pass the light and spiral in towards it. Either way they find the light pretty fast.

Ditto the long exposure one, that's cool.

How did you do that? They didn't let a tripod into the game, did they?

Thanks both of you for your kind remarks.

I love it too.

Technically, no tripod. Braced camera... on car outside stadium. Notice we're looking at the backs of the lights. I'm outside the stadium, on the way home. The swarming picture would have warranted a video, just .. wow. But all I got was the still, and it will have to do.

More to come.

What is this?

CAFE?

It must be the Corporate Average Fuel Economy building.

My serious guess is that it's a Safeway supermarket that is being torn down or sold.

nope nope

clue one: it flows neatly from previous what is it.

clue two: local landmark

SAFECO Field sign?

Correct!

Congratulations barefoot serpent! The picture was taken veeerrrrryyy close to the sign from the pavement. Looking practically straight up.

Good call!
