    This?  I think it's sunlight. All the eggs are upright, I think. It would be quite a sneaky egg though. It's a bit pointier than others. All other eggs are spotted and I'm not sure this one is. Though, when viewed full-screen on a laptop, it could be said to be egg-like. I can't decide!

    I think you're looking at turquoise shape apparently to right of a street lamp. I've pointed to it. It's not an egg. This is a photo of a zoomed in view hence the quality!

    Wait! Is there another just to left of the pink egg near the top of the Colosseum in line with the carriage in the centre of the third photo. It would be beige with spots. Sneaky to put so close to another. It could just be part of the wall you could see through the arch but the rounded edge seems odd. 
  • @LagrangeL2 yes I agree about the turquoise patch - NOT egg after all...

    ...but can't make my mind up about the yellow egg or sunlight conundrum...

    Thank you for the help and some comping fun & company 🤗

    What!!! No way!!!! Hang on a minute.... 🤯
  • Ooooooh! Yes I see what you mean that rounded edge does look a bit off... it could be egg... super sneaky if so.. hmmmm....

    Aaargh!! Look underneath that same carriage next to the wheel, small reddish... egg?!?... 

    I'm starting to see them everywhere... 🥴

    Wonder if there's an original version of the image/video online anywhere - sans oeufs???

    Personally I think the 'Sunlight' is an egg, can't see that there would be a gap to allow the sun to shine through when the other pillars do not have one. I don't see the red mark under the carriage as an egg nor the brown area to the left of the pink egg.
