Challenge 343: Snookered

I was staying in a hotel recently that was grand enough to have its own snooker table. If you're not familiar with snooker, it's a British precursor to pool, played on a 12 foot table.

I've removed all the balls except one, and I'd like you to put them back again. I initially photographed this table just before the start of the game, with all the balls in their starting positions: you can choose the point at which we view the action. Oh, and you might like to replace that blown bulb as well.

For those unfamiliar with the game, you can see the layout and colours of the balls here.

I'll post my original photo, with all the balls in place, next Friday.

High res is here.

Steve, do you ever get curious stares from people as you take photos for the FC? Obviously not on this occasion as the room was, I presume, empty but what about the time Ted lay down on the pavement? And there must have been other occasions.

Eta: Damn, just noticed some missing shadows.

I haven't played for a while as I've been having a very tough time. So here's mine - neat trick?

Now, I am sure John Virgo performed that trick on "Big Break" one week.

Hope there's light at the end of the tunnel.

It's nice to hear from you again Kate. I know you have had long-term health issues in the past, so I'm really sorry to hear of your present troubles.

Here's some flowers:

with my best regards Michael

PS this took me hours to cut out--should have use a white background

Good to see you back Kate. I hope things are going better now and look forward to when you can contribute next.
Some times its very difficult when mind on other things, even though FC is a good escape to help keep sane. Wishing all the best.
Excellent flowers Michael.

About a 3rd of the way through the book, so I thought I'd give it a bash. Go easy...

Une autre avec les boules en position de départ (je ne sais pas si dans le challenge, il fallait mettre toutes les boules).
