"what the fuck is this?" #1

[update] the prize has been won by kim. check the comments for the answer. well done kim. 

hey peeps. i've been extremely busy the past couple of weeks, hence the non-activity since the drainpipe brilliance. there's more stuff on the way though so hold on.

first of all though, may i introduce a new (possibly weekly) competition called "what the fuck is this?".

i have a folder on my desktop called 'huh?'. it's full of photos (hundreds) i've come across over the years whilst surfing the intertubes, photos which all have two things in common - 1. they intrigue me beyond belief, and 2. i have no idea what the subject matter actually is. the reasons for me having no clue about the photos' origins are numerous, but the majority are due to me excitedly saving them only later to find out i didn't also bookmark the relevant page.  i've been storing them in that folder fully intending to one day work out what they're of but today i realised it's never gonna happen, so i decided i'd let you lot tell me, one picture at a time. the first person to let me know, with linked proof of some kind, exactly what each photo is of, gets a tenner via paypal.

here's the first one. guesses and requests for clarification due to my awful rule explaining should be left in the comments please. and don't leave paypal addresses in the comments.

what the fuck is this?




thanks for dropping by. why not grab the feed, check out the archive or follow me on twitter so i can let you know when i go for a dump and stuff. otherwise, here are comments from other people...
