The other morning my mom had woken up the household as a result of setting off one of our smoke alarms while making breakfast. It turns out that she had burnt the toast she was making but unintentionally made the morning's sunlight visible to the rest of us. The smoke from the burnt toast caught what few reys of light were unblocked from the window trinkets and thus made them into visible lines of light. I assume this occurs as a result of the light reflecting off of the smoke particles thus making the entire beam visible rather than just final point of reflection on the floor. This does however reveal that even household mistakes can accidentally create what is sometimes purposeful lighting designs.
