🤔 That reminds me of those Dreamcatchers with feathers and beads and stuff you know?! From a more ‘down to earth’ point of view i’d say this is a metal basket where one can hang these big plastic trash sacks inside. 🖖🏼😎🤙🏼

Immediately I thought of a dream catcher too. But then I realised it is a levitating land squid!

Good to meet you here and good on you for being one of those supportive types who enters new contests in order to show the rest of the community just how cool they are. 😎👍

A levitating land squid?! Damn, you might be right. 😝 That surely is an option i could have thought about either! 🖖🏼😎🤙🏼

There has already been too much ENGAGE today.

Why make me sad bot

Like a decorative hanger that hangs on the house or terrace. If it gets blown off, it will spin in circles. Usually there are four ropes tied dangling and tufted ends.

Oh another incredibly easy one. I knew the instant I looked at the image that it was utterly obvious...

It's clearly a levitating land squid. Yes I've watched many a nature documentary about them and can state with absolute certainty that is what it is. I bet you thought you had me fooled with the rest of the image but I can decipher exactly what it is with the merest glance, You can see the squid trying to grab a hold of the witch who is riding a bicycle.

For some reason, I'm really not sure why, the witch appears to be wearing a Victorian style top hat. Maybe that is the latest fashion trend among the trendy magical types this season, who knows but I can see it as clear as crystal.

I 'duced' it you see.

I know one thing. My friend @gvkanten would have his own ideas of what this is. I gotta be honest, they would not be nearly as good as my guess but hey a guy can try. Sadly he is not here right now. If only there was some way to summon him!

Great contest again. Thanks for the opportunity to show that my guess absolutely has to be the right one! 😎👍

I mean this is obviously a levitating land squid, I have actually seen a documentary by Mike Attenborough about this. As part of their mating ritual they do this dance to impress their potential mates, and the highlight of this is their levitation... Fun fact is that they do this dance for themselves as they don't need any mates to reproduce, it's the land squidion equivalent of us dancing in the mirror....

It's gonna be hard cause this is obviously the best guess here but I'll try to give people an alternative.... 😃

This is obviously a Thingamajigus Rotaricus, or to us a normal less sciencey folk, a Rotating... Thingamajig!
We've been taught to believe that earth rotates because of gravity but the truth is that a few of these strategically placed Rotating Thingamajigs is what's keeping the planet from grinding to a halt. 😂😂😂

Sure they're also a vertical wind turbine but the first part is important 😂.

But this is all just an alternative to @stevenwood 's landsquid theory....

First thought that came to mind was a bicycle taken from a funny angle.

It seems that a round ball is hanging from a circular ring with rope.

I think the circle in the middle is a shadow of a streetlight and the shadow that suround it is a metal frame of garbage bin. 😊
