Sorry, made me laugh. I hope one of the mods can fix your link. It looks like a nice photo (just a bit small atm)!

Scrabbling round for a subject and we thought of a few but I decided to celebrate Mr Eggleston's red room shot with the white wires on the ceiling. You know the one.
So the topic is wire/wires, but to be super inclusive, rope and string will be acceptable. (maybe noodles, spaghetti and wool too). You get the idea? I'm in a tent so I'd probably be looking at guy ropes.
