I was thinking avocado, but the color is a bit light, no?

I'm a little sheepish to have nailed this one, in no small part because I have gained about 10 pounds in the past year. From now on, the other FM-ers will think of me as butterball behind a computer screen. I weigh about 167 or so, but those 10 surplus pounds are in bad place...neither my brain nor my crotch for sure. And here we are, heading into "eating season". @#$# me with a turkey baster.

Don't worry too much, I am just short of 80kg, about 10kg too much for me. The main reason isn't bad eating or anything like that (although there is some element of that), but simply a lack of enough time to get any motion into my life. I used to walk everywhere, now I sit all day. I sit at home in the morning, sit at work in the day, and sit at home in the evening again. I am not quite sure how to fix that.

Haha ... Okay, from now on I'll keep out of this thread.

I'm out of suitable shots, so you decide who's next.

Nope. I guess it wasn't as easy as I thought. The colour ought to be a hint.

Hmm, I'll stop guessing from my non-calibrated company laptop then.

p3#7 -- White / pale cotton candy?

Also, if people want, we can just keep a "winner" like now or everyone can post a "guess" shot, but keep it to a single shot (per poster) until it's solved. That'll keep the thread going without waiting for the winner of the last round to post something

FYI - use page# + post# to refer to posts before things get confusing

I could see this getting interesting, especially if one of the clues would be something like barely recognizable backgrounds, etc.

For instance, on p3 #7 I'm thinking it's a street or outside venue and it appears to be people walking around, so perhaps a place to find cotton candy?

When I saw the green at the edge of the frame I thought Carsten had used a lens that caused color shift.

@cputeq: That looks like a thin piece of aluminium with some holes in it. No idea what kind of object it would be part of though. Some kind of grate?

Sorry but it is neither lighter nor aluminum, though there are holes in it.

Hint -- reflections may sometimes hinder the guess. Don't be too distracted.

You must be right.

I totally got fooled by the reflections (thinking it was metal).
