The ghost of sleepy hollow wall anchors.

March 28, 2010 by Kala

I was shooting macro images of my toolbox contents. This photo is of a hollow wall anchor. Can you see the “ghost” that appears in the background?

Excellent macro shot but ghosts on a holy day are not a good sign.

At first I thought it was a pen. I think there are many ghosts in that picture. Maybe that’s what happens to all the wall anchors that get left inside the walls when you can’t get them out again.

Because of that pen there, I think that’s Shakespeare’s ghost. Clever shot.
