Excellent find. Those inground light fixtures are great at being unobtrusive; a clean look without poles sticking out of the ground. But you captured one of their peroblems, blocked light. The other is moisture inside the fixture, and heat. The lens gets extremely hot and could burn the animal's paws, thus the interesting lens guard.
Oh dear, I've done it and got all engineery here. Sorry about that.
LOL, Maya. You are so observant. I love your photos always, but this one is terrific.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

Actually, that was quite fascinating! I hadn't thought of all those things. :-)
