This poster was done by artist Victor Vasarely
It depicts a Lockheed Constellation flying into Rio de Janeiro over Guanabara Bay; the lights of Rio de Janeiro are shown just to the right of Sugar Loaf Mountain. Depending on the source, Vasarely painted it in either 1946, or 1949.
Here is a LINK. to an article about him. There is a gallery of his works there, too.

Incidentally, the entrance to the bay is basically due north of the aircraft so while the poster appears to be depicting sunset, in reality it would have to be closer to high noon (don’t forget it’s south of the equator).
Ok; got all nine.
Good morning – dawn is here, the birds are starting to sing; we had company until a few minutes ago. 4:54 AM now. I’ll go to bed soon.
I like the “easy” ones because the differences are real. It’s not so much that they are easy, as that a difference is a real change without quibbling over if it’s an artifact of the copy/paste or intended.
woo hoo!!! i’ve joined the ‘got all 9 club’!! and i can blame watching the qualifying of the IndyCar race from Indianapolis. you have to be on your toes to watch it so late.

I think I got all 9. Love the Astair dance scene, though sometimes I feel like I am just eating dessert instead of watching the whole movie.
Nighthawks, who does your lampshades (and your lamps)? I would like to be sure to avoid them in the future.

“BUTTERMILK BISCUITS” — 18 biscuits
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons double acting-baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup buttermilk
Instructions for recipe
1) Preheat oven to 450° F.
In large bowl with fork,
mix flour, baking powder, baking soda,
and salt. With pastry
blender, cut in shortening
until mixture resembles
coarse crumbs.
2) Add milk and with
fork, mix just until
mixture forms soft dough
that leaves the side of bowl.
3) Turn onto lightly
floured surface; knead
6 to 8 strokes to mix dough
thoroughly.
4) Roll out the dough,
1/2 inch thick for high,
fluffy biscuits, 1/4 inch thick
if you are making thin,
crusty ones.
5) With floured 2-inch
biscuit cutter, cut
biscuits, using straight
downward motion. Do
not twist the cutter.
6) Place biscuits on
ungreased cookie sheet,
1 inch apart for crusty
biscuits, nearly touching
for soft-sided ones.
7) Press dough trimmings
together (don’t knead);
reroll and cut until all
dough is used. Bake 12 to
15 minutes until golden.
Notes from me:
The 18 biscuit count is for the 1/4 inch crusty type (and that number is suspect using a 2-inch cutter).
Bake them on the second rack, top rack is first. Twelve to fifteen minutes in a 450° oven seems a bit long for even the 1/2 inch fluffy biscuits. Keep an eye on them from the 8 minute mark.
After 3+ years, Lord knows how many tests, and 65 pounds later, I’m finally going to be on the transplant list after one more clearance and education class for my family caretakers. June 21 is the target date, then we wait.

Children and dogs. Photo winners every time.
Boys Town. He ain’t heavy. He’s my brother.
I looked like that kid back then.
Our neighbors’ dog (German shepherd; a real watchdog) adored me.
My first word? “Zeus” (that dog’s name)…
What a cutie patootie! The kid’s kinda good lookin’ too

On the anniversary of the Dam Busters’ raid. Neat!
silly me. i thought that was a ‘Connie’.
I do believe you’re right.

Watch him while replaying the “Swing Time” video…
He’s no Fred Astaire, so don’t miss seeing it with him first… but Daffy does pretty well for a duck.
Wow! Daffy’s got perfect timing! He sure could teach the local ducks down at Nashawannuck Pond here in town a new step or two!!
Running in a straight line just doesn’t cut it anymore.
That guy looks like he doesn’t wanna dance.
Like…. maybe he just spotted that girl duck from biology class at the dance….
the one who always kinda smells like sardines.
….
It’s a secret, but I hear she told his cousin Nellie that she wants to lay his eggs some day.
Sorry for that downward thumb, it was an accident.
Fred and Ginger always bring a smile!
and Daffy, too!
Okay. Who’s the wise guy that gave the duck a hot foot?

An episode of Sea Hunt Rapture of the Deep As always, click through the clutter and go full screen.
I remember it as a TV show. Unaware they made a comic book out of it too.
They made a comic book out of everything.
wow, haven’t thought of this show in ages! used to watch it all the time.
.
That looks decidedly unwise.
That’ll impress the ladies.
That jet ski’s impeller is probably shot.
Some people just don’t think.
Easy one. Found all nine.
Got ’em all before bedtime!
Ok; got all nine.
Good morning – dawn is here, the birds are starting to sing; we had company until a few minutes ago. 4:54 AM now. I’ll go to bed soon.
Now you’re keeping MY hours.
Gosh, hope it’s not contagious.
Not me. I’m seeing double fuzz right now.
In the AM.
Ok, ok… Here I am!
I have the solution, if you’re puzzled by the puzzle…. Or use it just to confirm your suspicions.
…
I never say it’s an easy one, because I know these puzzles are harder for some than others, and I don’t want anyone feeling bad…
After all, they’re just for amusement, and don’t really measure anything except an affinity for puzzles.
Occasionally, too, even a really good solver gets tripped up by something silly… Just not noticing something they surely would have at another time.
….
OTOH, we seem to be getting a lot of positive reports already.. so I’m hoping everybody can join the “Found All Nine” Club tonight.
But never mind, just give it a try….
Got all nine with relative ease.
I like the “easy” ones because the differences are real. It’s not so much that they are easy, as that a difference is a real change without quibbling over if it’s an artifact of the copy/paste or intended.
got em too, probably not as fast as others!

time to watch it again!
But watching lampshades is boring…
I managed to get all nine, but the last one (Not telling!) took me a while.
