This is dumb…

But dumb things bug me, so here we are.

My porch camera view. Day and night.

But not all nights.

Only some nights there looks like, what my brain can only call “a wall”, just sitting over there across the way behind the swing area.

A few nights ago (3am ish) a bug triggered the camera and there’s that dumb wall again.

Since there’s a pole light out there, my rational side says “it’s a lighting issue, an illusion of a wall.”

But then I go back to the thought that some nights it isn’t there at all.

The environment hasn’t changed, all the same variables are at play. The camera angle hasn’t moved, its stationary and attached to the wall. The pole light is on every night.

If all these variables create this illusion of a wall, wouldn’t it be there every night, in those same conditions?

Also, the thin line of trees out there (in the daytime pic) runs parallel to the main side road. This dumb wall appears to run perpendicular.

To further make an ass of myself, and loose all my credit 😅, I present to you a side by side photo of the 3am phantom wall.

Of all the strange things in my life, this goofy wall is what’s keeping me up at night.

Somebody make this make sense so I can move on 😂

Update:

I sat an alarm for 3am, and as requested, here is a screenshot of the current camera view. No dumb wall tonight, just the pole light glaring down onto the yard area, as it should be.

New side by side of phantom wall vs. no phantom wall….

I can’t believe I’m this invested in a wall that doesn’t exist 🫠

    Can you show a picture at night without the “wall”?

      1. Maybe it is something to do with the moon? The pole light does something with light and shadow and maybe with or without moon it does look different with the shadows

      2. Maybe!! I was joking with a friend of mine about whether or not to add it to the blog and she said “maybe people need something simple to solve with so many unsolved things already on the blog.” Seemed like a valid point. I’ve decided as long as the phantom wall minds its own business, I’ll mind mine. 😉

  2. I wonder if it is a leak from another timeline into yours. A running at the same timeline where you do have this wall in your yard, another you, not this you.

    I am fascinated by these other “yous” that seem to be living in this timeline though and carrying out actions and doing things. Although not all good and it is having a knock on effect on you.
