Didn’t we see this a few days ago from the back?

They could be on the front and back of a t-shirt.

Yes, I’m glad to see the rock border surviving, even with replacement rocks.

According to what I found in several search results, this is Seljestadjuvet, Odda, Norway.

Two were labeled 1887 – 2014… but the image is clearly labeled 2004. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Unfortunately there is no date attached, but an image search using tineye says it was first found on July 24, 2017 (tineye is not my favourite image search engine it often has no matches when Bing and the old version of Google Lens had multiple sites..

I’m not sure it’s preferential… Maybe just equal opportunity.

We had a book once that started you with easy ones and worked its way up to really major stuff. I could get about half-way through before I had to go lie down.

I’m seeing multiple layers here, but not much else. I think I’ll go lie down…

Spoiler
A camel-shaped hole???

That’s more or less what I see too….
Though it makes no sense.

To me it’s….

A sort of mosaic background, with different levels of decorations… IE the purple stuff on top is like a valence, and the green bottom slants upward.

And in the center, a hollow that I guess is camel shaped, through which you see farther into the depths of the scene.

But usually there would be a solid figure, not a hollow.

It’s possible that we’re not getting the correct areas to overlap… the image may be a bit too wide or too narrow for our field of vision and needs to be moved forward or backyard till the right parts come together.

I used to have a couple of Magic Eye books (the ones that popularized stereograms in the 90s)….
and some saved images from a website with much better illusions. I don’t know what happened to them.

The 3D effect works because your eyes each see a slightly different view, and your brain overlaps them, trying to make one picture. That’s how you see three dimensions in the real world, too.

But the instructions said NOT to cross your eyes… There are a few stereograms out there that do work that way… But most work by relaxing your eyes until you naturally start to see double.

Then you look at the picture from just the right distance till your brain grabs hold of the two views and melds them.

….

I never had a problem seeing them in books or on computer monitors. I think tablets or especially my phone just aren’t big enough for the images to overlap in the right spot.

Crossing your eyes makes the opposite parts come forward from what you see by relaxing them, so the pictures have to be designed for one method or the other, and most are for relaxed eyes.

As I have no depth perception these things never work for me.

Uh … So far I have one.

I think #3 is…
Sonny Bono

It would be a terrible clue but it’s possible

that #1 is ..
Doris Day

I almost hope not.

And if he’s well known enough to be in a puzzle…

#4 is ..
Banksy

The first part of

# 6
Might be Bedouin (bed ewe win)… But who is called that?

Not for the first time Puzzles-World has failed to post all the answers to one of its puzzles; only the first four this time, but I got those right and thanks to Susan (the three you have are right) I got number six too.

 
1) Doris Day
2) Cuba Gooding Jr.
3) Sonny Bono
4) Banksy
5) ?
6) Bedouin Sound Clash (the main duo is out of Toronto and while still around, are not that big / the only song of theirs I recognize is below).
 

 
7) ?
8) ?
9) Z Z Top (it’s the only group I can think of that remotely fits)
10)?

Thanks for that.
I made two mistakes.

 
I kept calling the curling stone a rock as in team “A” has last rock, and I mistook the pilots for police.

Oh… I wanted to say yesterday but it was too late…

To those, including Nighthawks and P51Strega, who were talking or joking about Welsh Rarebit….

Some people indeed call it Welsh Rabbit.

When I first used to make it, long long ago, as an inexpensive, meatless dinner for starving students, the cookbooks said it was Rarebit, and rabbit was a folk etymology… Those ignorant folk not knowing the proper term, and thinking it sounded like rabbit.

It was often blamed on poor Welsh or Irish or Scottish peasants, mishearing Rarebit because it was a foreign word.

But later authors wrote that it was originally rabbit, on purpose, because it was a joking reference to the fact that they had no meat, and had to eat cheese… Or that Welsh serfs weren’t allowed to poach rabbits on the estates, and pretended cheese was meat.

Most of those stories have been debunked… But scholars still point out that Welsh Rabbit was the original name, in the oldest recipes, and that Rarebit was a term invented years later, to make it sound more upscale.

But it caught on, and it’s been more usually called rarebit in the last hundred years or so.

I love this strip… And all the FrankenBasset strips… But this one is especially funny.

To go on my list for Thanksgiving: I’m grateful that it can’t be shown in Smell-O-Vision.
