    I have what I think are some examples, but it's a fine distinction between some true parabolic and some catenary curves...


    And, of course, the catenary comes in many variations, depending on the suspension length (sag) and distance between suspension points.

    Also, the piece has to be photographed square to its side (something I rarely do), for the true curve to be seen. Anyway, here are a few that I think are close to catenary. In some cases you have to mentally complete the curve into the foot...


    And with others you have mentally separate the curve at the bottom of the piece at which point it transitions into the upper part of the piece...

    About the same distance from most of you heading East or West.

    It's easy to see the Dunning-Kruger Effect in others, but a bit of a conundrum when it comes to yourself...
