Glitter Paths on Venetian Blinds

Glitter paths nornally appear as linear columns of light -  on flowing water the glitter path can shift to one side. The same effect can be observed on vineyard wires. But why is this glitter path curved? The glitter path is produced by the parallel rounded lamellae of the Venetian blinds and - possibly - by their microscopic structure. Rounded metal lids of kitchen accessories show a similar effect - the glitter path changes orientation when it is rotated under the light source.

The curvature is strongest if the observer is close to the building - an effect of the observer's viewing angle.

A similar effect can be observed in the twigs of trees around a light source, which then form light circles. Scratches on glass can also form circles.
