A bit of cable that went with our old television I suspect.
John Walson and his wife Margaret owned a service repair company in the mountains of Pennsylvania where they also sold television sets. Sales were slow because the mountains prevented good reception. John hiked up those there hills and put up an external antenna and mounted it on a huge utility pole in the area. TV reception was much improved. He then connected this antenna to his store with the help of cables. Thus cable television was born in 1948.
His wife Margaret doesn’t appear to be officially recognized in very many sources, although I feel certain she helped inspire the hike up the mountains. She did receive an honourary degree from Mulhenberg College, in eastern Pennsylvania in 2003.

Love that second image! It’s a great effect, am I allowed to ask how you did it?!
Top secret;)
I recently purchased one of the circle silver on side, gold on the other, reflectors. And used mixed lighting. I have north facing windows and add artificial light.
Glad you like it, thanks Cath! You are super great with light – so it’s a nice compliment.
Love these, Deanne. That tiny spot of red in the first shot is fascinating, and the second shot is spectacular.
Hi Richard, Thanks so much! I am cheered.
