thx for quick reply :)

image is local variable of imageLabel
I would expect that in case imageLabel lives, it should
hold alife objects bound to its local variables

I am just curious *why* reference to image is not hold by imageLabel
which on his part is hold by frame1 .. which is hold by global root
