We have our winner !

Yesterday I posted a challenge. It was to tell me how this occurred. I requested a couple pieces of information and got a lot of responses. Now comes the winner and the reveal!

The answer:

This just happened. The key from the post is that I was "walking around the house one day" and noticed this.

Here is the back story...

I was actually taking pictures of how far into the house the sun reaches. The window faces north and it is winter here. Because of that, the sun does not climb as high in the afternoon.

I was amazed that the sunshine went through the living room and into the kitchen where we have a glass table, Now we are getting somewhere.

Grabbing the other pictures and putting in place to the right, you can see how far the sun comes into the house. These were taken at about 3:00 p.m. As I said, I just wanted to show my kids, who were at school, and I was waiting for them to get home.

I did not stop to analyze what was making the reflection on the floor. I found these photos on my phone while looking for a way to give away more money. Bam! Here you go.

I would think the sun light hit the glass of the table directly on the edge. That light hit the part where the metal legs are laser-fused to the glass, and reflected that union onto the floor. No, I was not expecting the exact answer that I just wrote.

Those who guessed "sun light" were partially right.

Those who guessed "onto a wooden floor" were partially right.

Those who guessed "a glass table" were partially right.

The best answer

would be...

Sun light hitting a glass table, reflecting this pattern onto a wooden floor.

I would be happy to shoot more photos of the table and it's construction for the curious.

Now I am off to read the answers and choose the closest winner.

And

After reading 91 entries, which were all great, I have come to a conclusion

There were three things involved, many people got the wooden floor, others got the light source, and some had glass involved in their entry.

The photos that you all took were great in addition to specific answers.

I had to go with the one who guessed all aspects, the only thing that could have made this one better is if it were to say "hitting the glass table"

Congrats to @kts

Your 10 SBDs are on the way!

Honorable mentions:

@loganjosse for catching the clues at the edge, and guessing legs.

@techstack for a perfect picture of a low-in-the-sky sun, hitting a table with something glass on the table!
