Implied Letters

Challenge #9 in the Just for fun series. Hosted by bikinchris.

Challenge has finished

Detail crop of an image of something normal to show that it LOOKS LIKE a letter of the alphabet. A common theme I have seen lately is making prints of detail shots and selectively cropping it to show what looks like a letter of the alphabet. So let's make a challenge out of it and see what you can come up with. Please note the additional rules for clarification for entrants and voters. the following link can be used to ask questions: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1044&message=40093643 or you can PM me with questions if my instructions are not clear.

Voting:

Processing rules:

Images must be natural and found, not made. You can't change an image of something else in Photoshop to make a letter.
If I suspect you of cheating, your image is gone, Even AFTER voting.

Capture date rules:

No restrictions.

Additional rules:

Example: Cropping a mortar joint between bricks to show a letter "T" or a roofline to form the letter "A." They can be both lower case or capitol letters.
NO FAIR taking images of printed t-shirts, signs or other printed material to form the shape of a letter. Also, absolutely no human forms or parts in the image.
2 letters per entrant allowed.
Really bad examples of entrants MAY be left in by me. Don't complain that YOU don't think it is a good job of showing a letter. I also reserve the right to delete images that I feel aren't actually a letter.
Voters: Vote higher for good clear images with tight cropping that represent the letter well. Especially for images of hard letters like K, Z,G, E. REALLY higher votes for a letter with an accent mark or ligatures like Æ. also, extra credit for explaining what the detail is from, like brick wall etc. in the notes section of the image upload.
VOTE DOWN really easy letters like O, T, L, I etc.
