My niece was about that talented, before she ended up with some injuries that finally ended her career. Incredible dedication to the sport. It hurts me to just think about doing something like that!
I recognized three of the seven… the last two women, and the tall man in the middle, but I feel like I should have recognized more.
The first woman was sort of famous for wearing hooded outfits like that, and also had her picture on a newspaper beauty column for many years, but I didn’t recognize her.
And it’s just a rather unflattering, therefore hard to recognize, shot of the other three men.
Had a friend killed when his jack slipped and the car came down on him. As I heard, it took awhile before he died from not being able to get enough air.
Had a car on jacks on an asphalt parking lot. I was under it working on the U-joints when the asphalt gave way and the jacks punched through. The car came down on me fairly slow, but I was rather compressed. I struggled out and was seriously bruised, but being a teenager nothing was broken.
It’s actually a beautiful old apartment building in Kiev, or rather Kyiv, Ukraine, in spite of stores and commercial spaces on the ground floor.
I found pictures of the building, but all the comments about the car were either joking or wondering about it’s being up there. I didn’t find one saying how it was done.
The car, said to be a Toyota Yaris, isn’t in this one, but it was the most complete photo of the building itself.
I tried to find out when the top view was taken, and instead found arguments about whether or not that one was even Miami Beach.
Commenters pointed out that it couldn’t possibly be the same view… If it covered the whole area of the bottom picture, those palm trees would be six stories tall.
It might be the far tip of the green stretch on the left, an area we can’t quite see past the buildings, when it was as yet almost unsettled and still called Ocean Beach… but others point out the unfinished bridge that doesn’t exist in Miami Beach, and would have had nowhere to go, even back then, if it were in that spot.
I’m sitting on seven, and a couple of them are very subtle. Theoretically the remaining two should also be understated. But I often miss the forest for the trees. We’ll see.
Thanks for the official solution, Susan.
Yep, a couple of very subtle ones in the mix this time, but I got them all in the end.
Now, go get the bad guys, B&S!
I have an ex boyfriend who managed a gas station for a while, at 50 years old.
It was self service, and another employee was there, so he spent most of his time in the glass-windowed office, with only a tiny open counter to talk to customers, and only went out to the pump area occasionally.
Half his shifts were night shifts, so when it was dark and not busy, he did that on a skateboard.
The station was concrete paved, and built on a bit of a slope, but curved up a little to level the pump islands.
He also liked to go out just to do a few turns around the station when no customers were there.

Are you okay, little guy?
Maybe a bit tipsy from all that sugar?
It looks like there’s a bit of water. Might be a mini bath.
,
Looks like a pretty good job of restoration.
Looks to me like a matte painting, a pre-digital special effect in older movies to create fake backgrounds.
Yes…. I was coincidentally on my way back here to say it’s by matte painter Albert Whitlock, from “The Sting.”
I was trying to Google the process, to see why it looks like he’s wiping paint off it, but it was too complicated for this time of night.

Here…

Thanks for the names, I thought it was him.
Me too, but I didn’t recognize her.
I can understand why she wasn’t too interested in a giant ape.
,,,
Aw… They’re all labeled already.
Great picture though!
Is there something specific that ties them all together? Other than the motion picture business?
I tried to find out but all I found so far was lists of names… Which we didn’t need cos they’re labeled.
It was said to be from the 1930s, but a couple of faces look later… I’m thinking it’s not “a” photo, but a collage or pastiche to represent the 30s.

Nice catch! Great photo, also!
Famous one, actually….

This photo of Maddie Komoroski on the balance beam won a 2026 World Sports Photography award for photographer Ashley Ray.
Their names are on the photo, but run together… so I googled it to find out the location and event.
Didn’t find the where and what, but found the award… and now I also don’t know who gave that.
The more you find out, the more you find out that you don’t know.
(That should be embroidered on a pillow or something.)

That’s about redneck.

Similar story. A guy i knew installed mobile homes and a stand failed while he was under there. He was just beginning to set it up when it happened.
I can’t really tell when this particular .gif begins and ends. May we assume that this gifted individual survived the encounter?
I certainly hope so!
I’ll be really upset if we’re watching somebody get squashed!

Talk about a private parking spot! C’mon suckers, let’s see you steal this one!
Looks like another fine frat boy prank.

Made me yawn…
Batbasset!
Yay!
Always happy to see him and Sparrow again…
Even if just a quick visit for a puzzle.
And we know they always save the day!
This one may test your powers of observation a bit… But I found nine differences so you will too.
I’m sitting on seven, and a couple of them are very subtle. Theoretically the remaining two should also be understated. But I often miss the forest for the trees. We’ll see.
A few are quite subtle… but the one I almost missed is fairly obvious.
Missed the italic, and however much difference there is in the mayor’s shoe, which I still can’t see.
I’ve only found six so far, found five quite quickly. I’ll look at it again later.
Ended up with seven before checking the solution. I can see why I missed one of them, but the other one was more obvious than a couple I’d found….!
Thanks for the official solution, Susan.

I never wore skates. It can get slippery enough with all the spilled oil and gas, especially on a rainy day.
