This is one I took with the FLIR camera of me. I got the camera to see if our windows were leaking hot air in the summer, and cold air in the winter (they were, a lot so we replaced them!). Have you ever seen a thermal picture?

I have seen thermal pictures when they checked if there were heat or cold dispersion in the house. Thy also used one when they came to exterminate the yellow jackets.

@DocAndersen You must think I'm stupid.

I forgot to look at it sideways. I can see it easily now. It's amazing what they can do nowadays.
