When I look up I see my ceiling :rolleyes:

However, to take a guess... Is it a tree burl?

Not knowing where you're from, I don't know what trees you have there, but the burls are a growth (or a bump) On a tree. So... If you're looking Into it, then it's the opposite. Is it a hole in a tree like an inverted burl? A knot hole? The orange color is throwing me a bit.

These things are, I'm sure, available worldwide, although they are only

native, as far as I know, to warm temperate zones. I can buy them in shops.

They are of a tree, but not a tree - no, not a knot, nor burlesque.

I had to look up "burl" on the 'net.

So this pic is either a peach pit (seed) or the inside of a peach (nectarine) without the pit. Right?

Various people have elicited Important Clues, and some gone charging off down

side turnings.

It is a picture of the inside of a ripe peach, sliced in half, with the stone (pit)

prised out, taken by the light of an Anglepoise lamp.

I ate it shortly afterwards, following some liver and a nice Chianti^W^W^W^W^W^W^W^W.
