Hi there puzzlers - have a go at this one - suggest an answer but DON'T give your method (I want to keep people guessing for a bit) - I'll post the solution in a few days time!

Enjoy


I'm going to say 40?

Yeah. When I saw it, my first reaction was to groan a little at the obviousness of the rip-off of the Cadillac Ranch thing. I didn't initially stop --the unoriginality and ripped-offedness being painfully blatant-- but circled back around and stopped after noticing the two (well known in rock art circles) misappropriated figures painted on the Caddy's roof, which made me groan again, only louder.

I expect the Caddy will be all painted over with hipster/faux 'gangsta' tags by the next time I go by. Which might be an improvement. We'll see....

Hadn't exactly planned to stop while en route to Colorado yesterday, but the mixed metaphors expressed in this most recent of (the slightly off, like almost 20-30 yards!) down-town Cisco's "art projects" piqued my interest. And, of course, because it's across the road from the (not quite) world famous 'Buzzard's Belly General Store'. Which was closed anyway.

As well, Eileen --the Queen Emperess & Chief Bottlewasher of Cisco-- wasn't home.

And I'd bet ANY amount of money that there were numerous passengers in those westward-flying aircraft who had their LONG lenses on, their IBIS kicked in, and their ISO circling the bowl as they shot shot after shot (spray & pray style with the newbies, full manual & one at a time [so as to get the ***best*** compositions without bothering to get all that extraneous drek in between] with the hi-flyin' Pros) while on their way to a shoot --or a show?-- in 'Vegas? this DaVinci-esque/Mondrian-ial/Michaelangelo's 'David'-ly installation as well. Go ahead!, try to prove me wrong! Muahahahaha...........

I accept PayPal.

Looks like a Cadillac Ranch wanna be. Nice shots.

I first intended to zoom in on the hills for a sunset, and was all set to find high elevation to clear the tree line. I ran out of time and stamina climbing up from the road so I swapped lenses to a 14mm and shot the first dead tree I could find. It gets pretty dark quickly in the Prescott National Forest and I had left the trail. Fortunately I had siri find my car because I have a lousy sense of direction.


Beautiful images.

From Utahraptor State Park to Arches Nat'l Park.

Very few of the raptors were present, and there were almost no tourorists, either. Either (or both?) of those circumstances may have been due to the roads being exceedingly muddy or were, alternatively, teeth-rattlingly wash-boarded. External factors (the threat of flurries?) could have factored in as well, but I don't know for sure.


Excellent. Didn't know you were so fluent in french.

We stayed in Girdwood Alaska our last night of my trip and there was a pond with water lilies. I really liked how the evening light hit the flowers and the reflections.

Indeed I did enjoy these things and glad I did. Wouldn't have had it any other way. By the way. I think I only got $.02 per bottle.

"Spread your legs"! Really. Our prime minister said that during our Covid lockdown; he was actually advising citizens to get out and do some walking and didn't realise what had said until after. Good thing we can laugh at ourselves.

And in the Nash advertisement, what the hell is that outside the window? a flying pig? Actually it looks like an elephant is that the tusk behind the drive's ear? and another one behind it.
I enjoyed these. Thanks.


That's Dumbo from Disneyland in the 60's.

Amazon products, delivery, discounts, perceived value have all been discussed on this venue. I recently had an experience with Amazon that I would rate several thumbs up. It was a twofer involving 2 products so this post runs somewhat long. I was surprised by the outcome.

About 3 weeks ago, I bought some Crystal Light Peach Mango drink mix, 12 boxes - $39, from Amazon because it's difficult to get in stores. I didn't need it at the time so I put in my pantry.

Earlier this week I bought a 62 mm lens cap for my camera. It was to be delivered yesterday. Late in the day I checked my email and received one from Amazon saying it had been delivered with a picture of it on my doorstep. I opened the door to see, but there was no package there. Only conclusion I can draw is somebody stole it. Only satisfaction was that it only cost me $7 and whoever stole it got something that totally worthless to them. I decided I would wait til this morning to call Amazon.

When I got up I wanted to make some of the peach mango drink so I got the package out of my pantry and discovered that it was peach drink (no mango). To me, that's the same as buying a Reese's Peanut Butter cup and only getting a gob of peanut butter. So when I called Amazon, I had two issues.

I called and spoke to their automated system and after answering a few questions, was able to speak to a representative. When I related that I had received the lens cap and somebody stole it, I wondered how Amazon would treat it. To my surprise, she told me that they would replace it and was it OK if it arrived by Tuesday. I then brought up the issue of the drink mix. I said they sent me the wrong mix. She checked their records and agreed that they sent the wrong mix and would send me another one ASAP. I asked if I should return the wrong mix and she said no, keep it, donate it or give it to someone else. Both problems solved in about 6-7 minutes with a better resolution than I had expected. I made a point of telling her how impressed I was with both her and Amazon. I asked for her name so I could include it in the follow up survey that Amazon uses to improve their service.

When dealing with other companies, it can be quite a challenge and take multiple calls and a lot of wasted time just to get to speak to a real person and uncertain outcome. I think Amazon provides products and services that are well-worth the price of Prime.

I have had similar good experiences with amazon concerning wrong product shipped. Easy resolutions.

The dahlia garden is about 100 feet from the mill, which is a serenely scenic place!

I expected as much. Years ago, a friend sent me a photo of Mercurocrome. Sadly, it is not made anymore. But I referred to it in the Pharmacy business as “Satan’s Spit!”


I remember that.

Incredibly liberal and anti-Israeli assortment of photos. Not surprising its been a long time since I've seen that magazine. The quality of the photos selected was terrific.


I agree

I have always wanted to get to Harpers Ferry. Your picture tour here is really, really good. I'm going to make it a priority to go there.


Beautiful shots. We were there last year at this time and I posted some images at the time. Yours are very excellent.
