Quiz anyone??

[Raven]

I thought a "Photo Quiz" might be a funny idea, join in and have a go.
When the first photo is solved another one can be posted by the one who guessed the correct answer.

Right, I make a start with this picture. Obviously I have "disguised it a bit", otherwise it would be a bit too easy

And before you ask, no, its not a german U-Boot...:lol:

[Lolabelle]

[Raven]

Right im going to have a wild guess here, Is it the top of a lighthouse ?

aaagh, unbelievable girls! first guess and you have got it paris:lol:

Your turn next, shall it be my turn in the future again I sure will make it a lot harder for you lot....[lol]

[Deemac]

Nice idea Raven,
Here's my puzzle image. Any ideas?

http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/8794/img1335fx1smyg4.jpg

[Raven]

to be honest, I havent got a clue... :-) First impression... it looks like my mums cake parter thingy... but one would have to eat a hughe piece of cake then...so its probably not...

As you have mirrored it... iI guess its part of a roof/dome sort of, or a lid :-)

[Kenn]

Circular wooden roof?

[Deemac]

There's no fooling you lot I can see. I'm going to have to be much more devious I think next time!!:Razz

It's the domed roof at the Eastgate Centre Inverness (where all the fast food shops are.)

This is the original image.

http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/9307/img1335smtt7.jpg

[Deemac]

Possibly a more self explanitory view of the dome. I thought it looked like a giant eye.

[Raven]

:-))) good one Deemac!

NOw guys, try this one...

[Scunner]

[Raven]

NOPE cuddlepop, NOPE Scunner :-))

[cuddlepop]

Pommegranite seeds Oh thinks.:D

[oldchemist]

Ferrero Rocher chocs? (or am I just hallucinating after Xmas)

[Buttercup]

Assuming you've altered the colour ~ Raspberry or Bramble?

[Raven]

Ferrero Rocher chocs? (or am I just hallucinating after Xmas)
LOL, but no...
@ Buttercup, not I didnt alter the colour, its just a wee section of an original picture...

I give you a little hint.... it IS organic and it is this yellowish green (at times):lol::cool:

[Kenn]

Young currants?

[Raven]

@ LIZZ, no, I don`t think that you can eat this! :-)
Later on it turns brown :-))

[Deemac]

Is it a pine cone?

[Raven]

@ Deemac... CONGRATULATIONS :-)))

http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd169/Scotland-visions/IMG_2139a-1.jpg

[Lolabelle]

Can anyone add to this, or does it have to be the guesser of the quiz? :confused

[Thumper]

Lola, I think its anyone who wants to have a go Hun....so go for it ;) x

[Raven]

First I thought that the one who guessed it sorrectly would have the next go, but this might proove difficult sometimes??

I would suggest that when the photo has been guessed correctly anyone can have a go, as long there is only ONE photo to be guessed otherwise it might get out of hand quickly.

Are you folks cool with that?

So..... next please :-))

[Boozeburglar]

Why apply any rules? There are always one or two who will be quicker to respond, who are on here all the time, so others won't get a chance. If it gets out of hand I will admit I am wrong!

[Deemac]

OK, here's another one!! Any ideas?

http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/6337/img5537smvu8.jpg

[Julia]

Is that a close up of fishing net?

[Boozeburglar]

That was what I was thinking; on a glass buoy?

Criminal Minds beckoned, and my desk is in a separate room.

[bky]

is it a sieve?

[Lolabelle]

A tea strainer?????? :confused

[Kenn]

Tennis racket?

[Raven]

My guess would be....it`s a microphone :-))

[wifie]

Raven - I am just not seeing the top of the lighthouse here - could you post the pic without disguise? Looks more like the craft ET arrived in to me!

[Deemac]

And the prize goes to . . . . . . (dramatic fanfare!!)

Raven (again!! - this is becoming a habit :)

Yes folks, its a microphone grill (liquified/distorted and processed in photoshop)

[Raven]

Raven - I am just not seeing the top of the lighthouse here - could you post the pic without disguise? Looks more like the craft ET arrived in to me!
Ups, sorry wifie, I will post the propper pic later...

Haha Deemac...:lol: eagle eye sees everything :-))

I skip the go as I am off all day on a photo day out;) Hopefully I come back with loads new quizzzzes for you lot :-))

[Deemac]

Wifie,
I suspect that Ravens first quiz image was based on something similar to this one (Dunnet head lighthouse) - can you see now?

http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/4373/img6206smrc8.jpg

[wifie]

Thanks Deemac- too much jiggerypokery for me to recognise it in the first place - must be one for the peeps who like to muck about with their pics - lol! (I mean that in the nicest possible way - there are some brilliant photos on here!)
Am I right in saying it was a quarter image reflected into a whole so to speak - this probably makes no sense but I know what I mean.

[Boozeburglar]

[Raven]

[Boozeburglar]

A bracket is so named after the shape it forms.


It was a ganoderma of some kind, can’t be specific, anyone?



Two of my favourite cooking mushrooms, shii-take and oyster, grow in trees.


I used to follow the idea that mushrooms you could eat, but toadstools were poisonous. Until I read a bit, and found out that there are no real agreements over any disctinction, regardless of what one may read on Wiki.

Signalling device for ships?

[kriklah]

weather mast? not sure if it would have a proper name!

[magtomich]

Please put us out of our misery, give us a clue !!!!

[coppertop 1958]

have not got a clue !!!!

[magtomich]

Radio mast

[Bobbyian]

Lizz your pretty near but what does it signal

[Bobbyian]

OK I´ll tell all
it`s a signaling mast that tells Ships entering the River Weser , with the Balls and Cones how many meters and centemeters above normal the tide is running and the signal arm signals which way the tide is running and the left side is a repeat of the markers only with lights for night it was set up 18 hundred and something or other and is now automatically operated and is a historic site

[grumpyhippo]

Lizz your pretty near but what does it signal
This signals the rugby results to the rest of the world,since the English based media is so reluctant to mention.

Scotland 15 - England 9

Or maybe it relayed the weather to the Fleet?

[grumpyhippo]

Damn, so busy celebrating the rugby, Bobbyian beat me to it!!!!!
