Spooky as hell
If your mouse and pc work like mine: Right click on the picture.
In the drop down click on open/view photo.
Hold the shift button down and turn the middle wheel forward to enlarge the picture.
If you have a magnifier, use it to look closer at the picture.
The bay window to the left .. middle window, enlarge it if you can.
It's fuzzy but what do you see other than the lamp shade?
Just to the right of the shade and a little lower.
I'll tell you why I am asking after I get some answers and "If" this storm/hurricane passing through doesn't kill our electric!
(You really don't need to enlarge the picture if you have a magnifier to look closer at the picture)
