Don’t be alarmed! This isn’t a photo of blood, but I did think it was interesting that the quotation below discusses scarlet, and in this photo the scarlet ran over a colourless object. No more clues – what is this a photo of?
There’s the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it.
– Holmes, in “A Study in Scarlet”, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
The photo is a close up look at dried wine in the bottom of a wine glass!

My guess is looking down the throat of a blender filled with ice cream and raspberry puree? Great photo, it is a mystery.

Well, you have the looking down into a container part right!

There is a raspberry puree aura to it but I am just not sure…….

Is it something pureed but not blended yet? Mebbe? No matter, the Holmes quote was well worth trying to figure out the photo.

Did you cheat and look at the title of the photo?

I wish I knew you could do that, because I looked at that thing for a long time. I was going to go with pomegranate juice, but that seemed unlikely.

I might drink pomegranate juice, assuming the wine is all gone.

I owe my lucky guess to James May (from Top Gear) and his show where he travels around learning about wine.

Hi,
I also have to say I think it looks like ice-cream with some sort of topping. 🙂

I’ll have to look at the photo again and see if I can see ice-cream!

It looks like something to eat–a confection or a fancy cupcake.

It was fit for human consumption, for sure.

Trying again – the contents of a packet of a red tinted drink, brand and flavor unknown, before the liquid is added. The white is the surface that the glass is seated upon?

Man, a Sherlock Holmes quote!! Is this a hip, cool, sophisticated blog or what??
The photo? Clearly a bird’s-eye view of a wide-brimmed, conspicuous consumption hat worn by, who else, Scarlett O’Hara.
P.S. Glad you didn’t show the hat after the bird flew over… : (
