Guess what it is....

[jjeling]

Ok this is another image game. Mainly for abstracts and images of the sort. It can be easy or hard, just understand, the goal is to see more images. Again, Ill post an image, whomever guesses the image correctly wins, and then gets to post an image, and then the guessing starts all over again. They can be full images, or cropped images, just make it enough so that we can figure out what it is. Ok, here we go again. Cheers!!

[Marko]

Oh this is a good game and a nice image. I know what this is but I'm not guessing since I don't have an abstract image handy :D

i'll give someone else the honours on this one.

[AcadieLibre]

A shot in the Dark, a Washing Machine. Like I said a shot in the dark.

[Marko]

Ok - now I'm not so sure but I will guess.

A headlight or a paint can?

[jjeling]

Marko, I thought you knew? HAHA. I did leave it in some adverse conditions to get this image though.....

[kiley9806]

i want to say its some kind of port hole, like on a boat - pointing up like a skylight while its raining??

[jjeling]

You are getting closer. It does involve one of the elements you mentioned kiley. Maybe if it were a little more contained...

[Barefoot]

This is a tough one. It looks like there's some frozen liquid involved. Is it the bottom of a bottle?

[jjeling]

I will give credit to Barefoot. It is the top of a blue nalgene bottle with the frozen water and the top removed. It was as close as anyone would get without being exact. Well, now that Barefoot won, its your turn. It can be an abstract image or a smaller crop of a full size image. Just make sure we have a chance at knowing what it is, and make us guess!

[Barefoot]

I probably shouldn’t have ventured a guess since I don’t have much in the shoebox that isn’t easily recognizable. I’ll give it a go with an easy one so we can move along to the next one.

[Mad Aussie]

Inside of a shell? :confused:

[Barefoot]

Inside of a shell?


Outside, actually. Your turn.

[jjeling]

inside of a tree maybe?

[Mad Aussie]

Inside of a shell?


Outside, actually. Your turn.
Think this means my go :)

[jjeling]

This is a good picture. I know the answer so will let someone else guess. Mine is in dire need of repair.

[Iguanasan]

I would say you left your bicycle out in the rain. Looks like the sprocket on your bike got wet.

[Mad Aussie]

I would say you left your bicycle out in the rain. Looks like the sprocket on your bike got wet.

Yep ... your turn

[Iguanasan]

Animal, vegetable, mineral might be an easy guess.
Can you narrow it down... do your best!

1277

[jjeling]

ear of corn

[Iguanasan]

ear of corn

That was, apparently, a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. I was hoping the colour would throw people off...
1286

[kiley9806]

i thought corn was yellow? since when does it grow up burgundy!?! good photos & guesses everyone!

[Marko]

nother awesome thread idea jjeling :highfive:

I was so off with my original guess :o to your image

[jjeling]

I live in whats called the "Corn Belt" A region of there world where nearly all the corn is grown. Ive seen corn almost any color you can imagine.

[jjeling]

Here's my next one. It shouldn't be too bad. GOOD LUCK!

[Marko]

Is it Dough?

[Barefoot]

Rubber Bands?

[Mad Aussie]

Red corn had me fooled. I've never seen any kind other than yellow corn

[Iguanasan]

Red corn had me fooled. I've never seen any kind other than yellow corn

That's what I was counting on... ;)

Trying to work out the rubber bands / popsicle sticks one now....:D

[jjeling]

Nice job Barefoot. Rubberbands around a group of images from Alaska to be exact. Rubberbands none the less though. Figured that would be a little easy. Your turn.

[Barefoot]

I was afraid it was. OK, maybe even with the poor DOF this one will be as easy as I think it is.

[jjeling]

a beehive maybe? It looks like its wooden, but I cannot really tell.

[Marko]

It's only easy when you know what it is :)

A lampshade?

[Barefoot]

It's only easy when you know what it is :)

A lampshade?

I'll have to agree with you on that. For the life of me I couldn’t get the sprockets, even though I’ve had my hands on them plenty of times. What’s painfully obvious to some can be infuriatingly elusive to others. Hope I didn’t offend anyone by saying it was an easy one. People who know me well say I’m a real “fun guy”.

Keep trying!

[Iguanasan]

A bamboo rake? I'm reasonably sure it's bamboo but outside of that I'm not sure.

[kiley9806]

a paper lantern?

[Barefoot]

I’m sorry, but I can’t say that anyone has been remotely close yet. It’s not a crop of a larger image, but instead, it’s a macro shot. Try this; put the image on your desktop and then rotate it 180 degrees.

Don’t overlook the hint in my previous post.

[jjeling]

im guessing a chair, not sure about the material. I guessed wood earlier, but maybe bamboo now?

[kiley9806]

FUN GUY!?!? haha - fungi??? is it a mushroom??

[Barefoot]

ding...ding...ding...We have a winner.


Proceed, kiley.

[kiley9806]

super! here you go... guess away... :D

[jjeling]

Hair brush!

[Iguanasan]

super! here you go... guess away... :D

Hairbrush?

[kiley9806]

oh so easy... thats what you get for not having a macro lens... :P jj - take it away... :)

[jjeling]

Ok, good luck. I dont think this should be too bad.

[Iguanasan]

Radiator in a house. I grew up with ones that looked like that.

[jjeling]

I was wondering how fast someone would recognize this. I also grew up with one, as you can tell. Many people have no idea what they are, or even look like. Your up!

[Iguanasan]

Sorry for the slow reply... had to go to work to keep saving for my DSLR ;)

Next one up. "I help spread the news"

1331

[kiley9806]

push pin / tack! :)

[Iguanasan]

push pin / tack! :)

Man, these things are going fast! You're up next!

[kiley9806]

ok, this may require that you use more of your imagination..... :)

[jjeling]

It looks like an artistic wall?

[Marko]

A chandelier?

[kiley9806]

nope, keep guessing... jj - youre slightly on the right track (although im not sure what an 'artistic wall' is... lol)

[jjeling]

I have no idea. Maybe a room divider? One of those things that fold up and you just set in a corner to get changed behind. But this one would defeat the purpose, since you can see right through it.

[kiley9806]

heres a hint - each one of us on this forum has many of these things in their homes, im sure of it... though they will all be different from each others.

[jjeling]

a lampshade?

[Marko]

is it a gate, a grate, a birthday plate?

[kiley9806]

although i enjoy the rhyming marko, nope nope & nope... and nope to the lampshade too... you were closer when you were talking about "walls" jj. and remember what we all have in common here on this forum... that with my last hint had better get this thing solved! or i'll just tattle on my own self.. :)

[kat]

curtain..although with beads that would be some curtain! they are beads by the look of it..hmmm..door? lol... I'm horrible at this game!!!

[Barefoot]

Picture frame?

[kiley9806]

YAY barefoot! whew! your turn... :) good playing everybody!

[jjeling]

Nice job Kiley. You too barefoot, those were some interesting guesses.

[Barefoot]

I hate it when I guess these things right. And believe me, it was just a guess.

Alright, here it is. Have at it. ( I would expect AcadieLibre to nail this one in short order )

[Iguanasan]

Looks like a cymbal to me!

[Ben H]

Yeah, but it's a ride, not a crash, as it has a bell.. ;)

[Barefoot]

Iguanasan's turn.

[Iguanasan]

Let me entertain you...

1407

[kiley9806]

dvd player insert thingy? (thatd be the technical name for it...)

[Iguanasan]

dvd player insert thingy? (thatd be the technical name for it...)

Nope! Nice try.

[kat]

A book..photo album.

I keep staring and staring..I need to stop... :eek:

[Barefoot]

I’ve rotated, sharpened, enhanced, converted to grayscale, negative, embossed, used edge detection and stood on my head, Each separately and then in a combination of all.

I’m happy to say I won’t have to dig through my mess to find anything that might stump the panel.

[Iguanasan]

A book..photo album.

I keep staring and staring..I need to stop... :eek:

Nope and nope. ;)

[dmagick]

Side of a music box?

[Ben H]

iPod Shuffle

[Iguanasan]

iPod Shuffle

Give that man a cigar! iPod Shuffle it is! You're up!

[Ben H]

Oh - really should prepare something first, I guess..!

Ok, here's one:

http://www.benhall.co.uk/pics/guessyguessy.jpg

[Marko]

iPod Shuffle

Holy carp Ben H GOOD ONE - that was hard. I now realize I SUCK at this game. YOUR image is tough too. Is it a symbol for a new religion where they get you to shave your head and get you to give away your money?...again, I got nothin' :D

[Ben H]

Holy carp Ben H GOOD ONE - that was hard.

These things are weird - your brain either sees it straightaway, or it just doesn't get there. For me, I saw it and knew what it was straight away. But I thought some of the others were really hard... :)



YOUR image is tough too. Is it a symbol for a new religion where they get you to shave your head and get you to give away your money?...again, I got nothin' :D

They certainly expect to get your money, but last time I tried I didn't have to shave anything...

Edit: to be fair, I thought this was a worldwide brand, but it appears to be only a British one, so it might be a little tougher for you US of A folks... ;)
Presumably, if no one gets it, I get another turn..? :)

[kiley9806]

i would say the 'co' part looks like it may belong to a coca-cola product, but im not sure about those wavy lines...? - and btw - most of us are canadians! :)

[kat]

Bottle of wine (beer???) or cheese...lol.

Marco..you aren't the only one that isn't too good at this game!

[Iguanasan]

Yeah, I thought it was Coke too... (another Canadian speaking up) :)

[kat]

Hmm..but doesn't Coke have that funny font..the C all twirlly? Then again..I'm a Pepsi drinker so...

[Ben H]

You're all on the right lines, but are too cold. You need to get warmer...

[kat]

Coffee! :)

[Ben H]

Coffee! :)

Ah, close enough I think - it's a Costa Coffee cup - basically, an equivalent/alternative to Starbucks...

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1193/1009892362_7a842ac59c.jpg

So, let's keep this moving - the ball's in Kat's court...

[kat]

Oh oh..ok..just give me a bit..have to go take a photo now! :)

[kat]

Hmm..think this will be the last time I guess :D:D:D

[Iguanasan]

Hmm..think this will be the last time I guess :D:D:D

I'm thinking someone has sore feet. Looks like a very high heel shoe to me.

[kat]

Ha ha..you got it!

Now click away..hope you get more inventive than I! ha ha

[edbayani11]

is it a top shot of a pop bottle?

[Iguanasan]

Ha ha..you got it!

Now click away..hope you get more inventive than I! ha ha

I don't know what scares me more... having to come up with another tricky photo or knowing that someone actually wore those heels! ;)

[kat]

Ha ha..they weren't that bad! I love to wear a nice heal on a special occasion..it was a good night :P

[Iguanasan]

Sorry for the delay :(

It was a long work day! Hopefully, here's one that will keep us guessing.

http://lh5.ggpht.com/_8Q3edxpMqBs/SZI_bgboY6I/AAAAAAAADjA/8VQqlvQbOjk/s400/100_1639.JPG

Hmm..the tank.handle of a motorbike?

[Iguanasan]

Hmm..the tank.handle of a motorbike?

Sheesh. And here I thought I picked something difficult.

Your turn! :D

[jjeling]

really? motorcycle fender

[jjeling]

wow, the instant i post. good job kat

[kat]

Ha ha.. I should mention my husband air brushes... :) See photos like that all the time. Alright - guess it's time to really do a search and get a good one!

[Barefoot]

Sheesh. And here I thought I picked something difficult.

Your turn! :D

Without the skull, it might have been.:)

[kat]

Let's see if we can stump one person!!!!:fingerscr

It can be real easy or real hard....

[jjeling]

HAHA!! I LOVE CANADIANS!! Ok, so I know this because HOCKEYTOWN is about 45 minutes from here. I play it quite often, and have been trying to start my own rink for a while. Unfortunately, the city will not help since the AAA team we had just pushed their building over. They are starting a new team called the Toledo Walleye's(we eat minnows..HAHAHA!!!) Sorry Kat.

Its the used blade on a hockey stick. Good to see you guys are keeping the tradition alive.

GO REDWINGS!!!

[kat]

Okay..I give up at this game..I really do! Ha ha.

Bring it on "Betty Sue".. :)

[jjeling]

DONT GIVE UP! If anything it will help you with your abstract skills. Pay attention and HOLD ON!!! Ive got some doozies!

Over and out

-Betty Sue

[jjeling]

Ok, this might be a little easy. Im going to throw it out there. Maybe I can shed some light on this thread....It is like the other thread, about putting up more images. Shouldn't be so hard that it cant be guessed, but still fun and makes you think. Maybe that will give you guys an idea!:lightbulb

[edbayani11]

isit the bottom of a glass of soda?

[Ben H]

Cheese grater?

[Barefoot]

What ever those little things are, they’re nestled in foam of some kind. They look a little like the back to pierced ear rings. But then again, they appeared to be knurled on the large end for grip.

This could be a tough one.

[Marko]

hmmm - this one I think I got without the clue ;)
are they the tops of those laser pointer thingies?

[jjeling]

Fourth guess marko's the spot! After SHEDDING SOME LIGHT above the image I thought it might help. Nice job marko. Lets see what you got.

[Marko]

If anyone wants to take my spot that's cool :p
Today is a nutty day for me I'm not sure I'll have the time to search for an appropriate image...If no-one takes my spot (please do though :D) I'll upload something tomorrow morning.

thx
M

Sorry, you can't get out of it that easy ;) We'll wait... there are lots of other wonderful photos to view on this forum while we wait :D

[jjeling]

Thats right. I couldnt get out of the members choice nominations. This is your forum, you cant get out of one of our favorite game! Nice try. We can wait. Im sure you have got something good up your sleeve anyways.

[Marko]

ok then - I've made a note to post tomorrow. :)

Although legally yes this is my forum, truly, i feel it's become a community...so i much prefer 'our forum'. :goodvibes

thx

AHHHHHH :goodvibes:goodvibes

[Marko]

Not sure about this one but...and this image was obviously cropped - is that okay?

[Travis]

is that a palm leaf?

[Iguanasan]

Not sure about this one but...and this image was obviously cropped - is that okay?

Certainly! Cropping makes it easier to hide enough information to avoid it being obvious. :D

I think it's a peacock feather.

Regards, Iguanasan

[Marko]

Yup palm leaf in water - your turn

Shoot - that was way too easy i guess. I had a bunch of more abstract stuff but i've posted many of them already and my HD with other images is wonky these days.

[Travis]

this may not be easy......

[tomorrowstreasures]

this may not be easy......

bear scat (poop) or critter scat:p

[Marko]

cat vomit? hey looks like what my cat produces about once every 2 weeks.:D

[tomorrowstreasures]

cat vomit? hey looks like what my cat produces about once every 2 weeks.:D
LOL!!! Marko - you have been under MA influence too long!

[kat]

cat vomit? hey looks like what my cat produces about once every 2 weeks.:D

Ha ha..my first thought too!

[jjeling]

Travis, is anyone close?

[Travis]

Travis, is anyone close?

Ahh... think I gotta give the honours back to Marko....

It's actually dog vomit.... A neighbours dog at the cotig stopped in and ate a bowl of my dogs food.... then went down to the lake for a swim... then came back and vomited on my deck... Yay!


Good eye Marko!!!....

[Barefoot]

That's messed up!

[kiley9806]

haha! gross! markos turn...

[Marko]

hmmm - let's try this

[kat]

Looks like the vent cover for air...hmmm..that doesn't make much sense but can't say it any better :)

[Marko]

You're pretty close.....any others?

[Ben H]

Hard drive or computer vent?

[kat]

Heater?

[tomorrowstreasures]

cold air return or part of an air conditioner

[Marko]

cold air return or part of an air conditioner

Bang on!:highfive: It's a central air conditioner. Your turn!

[kiley9806]

maybe the front grill of a large truck? or an air conditioner?

[tomorrowstreasures]

Bang on!:highfive: It's a central air conditioner. Your turn!
go me!!!! sorry - have to wait till i get home from work. :p

[kiley9806]

whoops - maybe i shoulda read the last page before commenting...

[tomorrowstreasures]

easy one, so, be specific! :D

1595

[kat]

Bottom of a glass, plate?

[Ben H]

Yeah, looks like a wine glass, innit?

[tomorrowstreasures]

need to be very specific! You are on the right track though!

[kat]

shot glass from a golf course tee hee hee hee :)

[tomorrowstreasures]

shot glass from a golf course tee hee hee hee :)


LOL you are so adorble, Kat! :) I'm holding out for the "specific" answer LOL

[kat]

its a shot glass and you are looking down into it :P from a golf club... here is a brief summary of that course.

The Minikahda Club is a golf club and course located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is located near Lake Calhoun. The club was established in 1898. The name Minikahda comes from the Sioux, a combination of two Indian words meaning "by the side of the water." The course was site of the 1916 U.S. Open, 1927 U.S. Amateur golf Championship, 1957 Walker Cup.

specific enough hahahahaha :) :P

rotflmbo - um nope, not a shot glass:p

[kiley9806]

i googled the word too kat! haha...
is it the cup you hit the golf ball into?

[tomorrowstreasures]

i googled the word too kat! haha...
is it the cup you hit the golf ball into?
nope. 4 more guesses - i will cry uncle - expose what it is an resubmit a different image ... i really thought this one would be super easy! :o

[kiley9806]

how about a hint...?

[kat]

Last guess for me here.. a martini glass?

Ha ha..if it isn't a glass please tell me..lol..i'm going crazy here!

[tomorrowstreasures]

Last guess for me here.. a martini glass?

Ha ha..if it isn't a glass please tell me..lol..i'm going crazy here!

ding ding ding ding ! right on, Kat!

[kat]

Yayyyyyy! :D

This should be an easy one... we'd be guessing the overall image.

Hmmm..didn't I say I wasn't going to do this anymore.. :footinmou

[kiley9806]

hilarious... kat - perserverance pays off! lol :)
is that a light fixture outlet in a ceiling?

[kat]

Almost..but I'll give it to yah..one of those hook things.

Yayyyy..kileys turn!

[tomorrowstreasures]

man - i was going to guess a ceiling water sprinkler - the kind in a hotel room.. I guess now I can't guess that. sigh.

[kat]

Ha ha.. I was just happy with cieling..sorry!

[kiley9806]

this one is probably an easy one....but it does have nice texture... :D

[kat]

Ahh..bark?

[kat]

Ha ha..I try to make the pics look good too..maybe thats why they are too easy..!

[tomorrowstreasures]

oh man - late again! i was going to say a birch log.

[kat]

Ohh..I think the percise one should have to do the next photo :P

[tomorrowstreasures]

do you want a challenge or easy one?

[kat]

Bring it on!!!! ha ha

[tomorrowstreasures]

here you go.

1613

[kiley9806]

ahh, ya, it was a tree... poplar or birch, i dunno

[Iguanasan]

Looks like the pedal of a bicycle. Nice shot. Not sure what tweaked my brain to it but I think I'm right.

[tomorrowstreasures]

Looks like the pedal of a bicycle. Nice shot. Not sure what tweaked my brain to it but I think I'm right.
holy crap. The one that i thought was easy peasy took a bit of guessing and the one i thought for sure would be a challenge was blasted out on the 2nd response. TT = bad judge of all of the participants here. at any rate, way to go, Igs! - your turn. maybe you will be better at gauging just the right amount of challenge!:rolleyes:

BTW- this bike is parked on our back yard where it has been for the past 9 years - It was in pristine condition until I made my honey allow me to let it rust for my "yard art". He bought that bike in 1963, was imported from England, was the first 5 speed bike in his hometown of Lena, IL., USA He paid $60 US - was his pride and joy - put a lot of miles on that puppy and took really good care of it. According to him, the holder of many of his teen memories. *sigh*

[Iguanasan]

It's funny how the brain works. What one person thinks is difficult someone else finds easy. Let's see who finds this one easy...
1614

[kat]

I'm probably way off here..but stairs..going down and down..with the rails....

[Iguanasan]

It's a nice shot. I like the blue/red colour bokeh with the sharp pedal edge. Kind of hard and soft at the same time. Abstract but not. Cool :cool:

[Iguanasan]

I'm probably way off here..but stairs..going down and down..with the rails....

You're bang on. 20 floors worth ;)

Your turn.

[kat]

Sorry for being so late...absolutely forgot about this!!!

Another easy one..seems that everything I take is easy. Guess I just don't want to make things hard for you all...(or at least that will be my excuse)..:D

[tomorrowstreasures]

coffee filter and brewed coffee?

[kat]

Ha ha..see! Easy. Think I should of had a coffee before taking photos.. :P

[tomorrowstreasures]

Challenging!

Okay players.. first clue - this picture is NOT tack sharp... It is an odd combination of 2 items. After 3 guesses, if a no go, i will resubmit. Deal? :D


1690

[kat]

meat that you are marinating with a brush... :)

[tomorrowstreasures]

nope, that is 1. try again :)

[kiley9806]

tree trunk & a straw broom?

[tomorrowstreasures]

tree trunk & a straw broom?


LOL yup - i was sweeping cicada shells off of the ash tree.. - while taking the picture - thus a blurry shot....good job Kiley!

[jjeling]

I thought it might have been a straw broom and your dogs mess? haha. good thing I didnt play this game.

[kiley9806]

i will get to work asap on something to try to stump you guys!

[Iguanasan]

i will get to work asap on something to try to stump you guys!

ASAP means different things to you and I ;)

[tomorrowstreasures]

here - i will fill in for Kiley -

Is it a jig for manufacturing windows?

[tomorrowstreasures]

nope - try again! :)

Score! :highfive: your turn!

[BlueX]

Score! :highfive: your turn!

Oooh goodie! I got a pic I want to use too!

[BlueX]

I will give you a hint: I took this while on vacation.

[tomorrowstreasures]

I will give you a hint: I took this while on vacation.

a ceiling

[kiley9806]

sorry guys... got busy with other stuff, havent had a chance to crop or shoot something. thanks for filling in TT.

[BlueX]

a ceiling

It was overhead, but not a ceiling. Good guess!

[EJC]

A light or sound diffuser?

[BlueX]

A light or sound diffuser?

Good guess, but no. It's bigger.

[Barefoot]

Did you vacation at Epcot Center?

[BlueX]

Did you vacation at Epcot Center?

Woooh whooo, we have a winner! It's a picture of the giant "golf ball" in Epcot at Disney World from underneath (while waiting in line). Your turn.

[Barefoot]

Woooh whooo, we have a winner! It's a picture of the giant "golf ball" in Epcot at Disney World from underneath (while waiting in line). Your turn.

Alright, just give me a bit...

[Barefoot]

OK, in keeping with JJ’s original post this one may be a little hard. It’s not an object, but it does have a name and you have to make it yourself. Here one minute, gone the next.

http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg229/BarefootImages/Risized%20Images/fizyo008.jpg

[tomorrowstreasures]

spirograph.

[EJC]

Are you looking for "light" or "light painting"

cheers
EJC

[Barefoot]

You're both on the right track, but it does have a "proper" name. A little work with google and the guesses offered so far may give me what I'm looking for. If not, I'll give it to Light Painting.

[Iguanasan]

It looks like a moire screen saver to me.

[Ben H]

Laser pointer?

[Greg_Nuspel]

Lissajous figures

Nope, nope, and nope. Actually, I don’t think a laser pointer would work for one of these. I probably made a poor choice by putting one up. I found them by accident and my attempt at duplicating the technique is poor. What I’m looking for is the name given to these types of images. Light Painting is the closest yet because it does involve painting with light. They seem to have a large following as there are many web pages dedicated to showing them.

An image of a mountain scene is a landscape, one of a beautiful woman in a studio is a portrait, and painting with light in this fashion is a ???.

After two more incorrect guesses, I’m giving it to EJC for being the closest first, although Greg is awful close and thinking along the right lines by giving the practice an actual name.

[BlueX]

Kinetic photography?

[Barefoot]

Maybe we should let Greg have this one and move on to something different. It is Light Painting as EJC guessed, but more specifically it’s an image of frequency. Not that of vibrations as Greg suggested, but the frequency of the motion of a pendulum.

They’re called Physiograms. People create them in different ways, but almost all involve the use of a very small flashlight (mine was a L.E.D. keychain light) suspended from a ceiling with string in a dark room and then setting the light in a swinging motion above the upward pointing camera set to bulb or at least a 30 second exposure. They have about as much value as a “Camera Toss”, but you’re less likely to destroy your expensive DSLR in the process.

They are a lot of fun to cerate, particularly when the weather isn’t conducive to outdoor photography. (Or, if you’re just bored stiff!)

Greg, you're it!

[Greg_Nuspel]

OK this one is somewhat difficult:

[BlueX]

The handle to the pull cord of a lawnmower?

[kat]

The handle to the pull cord of a lawnmower?

Yup..or snowmachine.

[Greg_Nuspel]

Keep guessing

[tomorrowstreasures]

an electric garage door (opener) manual emergency release

[Ben H]

It's a handle of some kind.

Ok, my turn...?

[Greg_Nuspel]

I can give a hint, it's very quiet here.

[tomorrowstreasures]

a pull to release some thing - maybe in a trunk of a car

[Greg_Nuspel]

You're the closest yet, no car though.

[tomorrowstreasures]

a pull to release a lock on a storage container of some sort?

[Barefoot]

You're the closest yet, no car though.

I believe I see a box. Is it in an attic?

[Greg_Nuspel]

I'll give it to tomorrowstreasures.
It is a tow line release in a glider, this shot taken at 25,000 feet above sea level :D

[Ben H]

I'm gonna need to work harder if I'm gonna get another turn, eh..? ;)

[tomorrowstreasures]

ben, go for it... i have to leave for work in a few minutes and don't want to stall the game... :)

[Ben H]

Hehe - excellent, thanks! :D

Hmm... let's see now...

[Ben H]

Ok...

http://www.benhall.co.uk/pics/lala.jpg

I don't like to make them too hard to keep up the momentum, so...

[kat]

Hmmm..after straining my eyeballs..I can only come up with tire tracks... :)

[Ben H]

*Close*, but...


...actually, I'm lying, that's not close at all... ;)

[Iguanasan]

My eyeballs feel rather weak as well ;)

I'd say on the bottom left it looks like tree bark so maybe this is tree moss?

[Ben H]

Not a tree...


...but it is alive...

[jjeling]

A reptile of some sort, probably a lizard. Not sure what kind.

[jjeling]

Wait, there do not seem to be scales. The patterns are pretty smooth and now it seems like it is a bird, well, the feathers on a bird.

[Iguanasan]

Ah-ha! You told me it's alive. It must be an octopus! At least, that's what it look like :o

[kat]

Snake?

[Ben H]

I'd say Mr JJ is starting to get warm...

But... what type of bird...?

[kat]

Hmm..I'm starting to think I was to easy on everyone..should of made TT guess the coffee brand! Ha ha ha ha..

First thing that came to mind..owl?

[Ben H]

First thing that came to mind..owl?

We have a winner, folks!

http://www.benhall.co.uk/pics/owl.jpg

[jjeling]

Wow, I would have to say a Mallard duck, or maybe an eagle of some sort. Its a bird though.

[kat]

WHAT!! An owl!! WHAT!!

LOL...well - didn't expect that..give me a few here...

[kat]

And another one...

[jjeling]

looks like the bottom of a lego

[Iguanasan]

looks like the bottom of a lego

Beat me to it. I'm sure you are correct.

[kat]

Yes sir..thats correct! Ha ha.. I've been stepping on them all morning! Have fun!

[jjeling]

Ok, this might be easy for some, it might be hard for others. Good luck.........

[Barefoot]

The breech of a weapon? Handgun or rifle, I'm not sure.

[Iguanasan]

The breech of a weapon? Handgun or rifle, I'm not sure.

Can't get a guess in edgewise ;)

[jjeling]

Yep. The breech/bolt closed. Your turn barefoot.

[Barefoot]

Ok, real easy this one.

Tuba?

[Barefoot]

Tuba?

As Yoda would say, "Very quick, you are".

Your turn.

[kat]

Tuba?

[Marko]

I guess this forum is getting more active :D:goodvibes
This thread is 25 pages long:highfive::highfive:

What a great game this is. Lotsa good pictures here too. I would have lost all my body hair before guessing the owl shot btw.

[JAS_Photo]

We have a winner, folks!

Whoa@! you have a pet owl? How cool is that?
