No.


Dusk skyline; no. Trees at the horizon; yes.
But that's not the answer I'm looking for.

Hint: Phenomena.
Ah! Aurora Borealis?

Correct.
Not a very big burst, just lurking above the ridge

OK, here's the best I can do with the camera on my MacBook Pro! See if you can identify this.

No. It's part of something most people would recognise instantly, although perhaps in a different colour-way than usual.

It was taken with an unmodified webcam, so is about 15mm square. (1/2" square, for those Imperial Americans amongst us.)

No and no. Umm... it is painted metal. And it's all painted metal. The dark area is also part of the object.

I'm back home, so I have access to a proper camera. Here's a better picture, which reveals slightly more of the object.

I'm certain that nearly all of you see this object (or a similar one) at least once a week and probably every day.

no, not sunglasses. Perhaps the better quality image will help. There are lots of these painted metal objects around.

You have it, but I need the brand, and preferably the specific subset of the brand.

Yes, we have a winner! It's the loop of the final 'l' and the extended top of the 'C' in Cola.

Over to you, Bilbo.
