The beauty of those eyes is very offset by the horror of that mouth.

A visit to Yousef Al Habshi’s     WEBSITE     and the galleries it contains will be worth your while , I think (he has honed his artistic talent to a skill using photography as his medium).
My only nit pick is that a good number are not captioned, and naturally those are the ones I want to know about.

First time I showed my Mom a metallic fly similar to this under the microscope she was absolutely overwhelmed by how something she had thought of as ugly could be so beautiful!

And now imagine a cyclist taking that path in the wrong direction…
A close friend’s grandmother did that all the time (yes; there was a space like that here in Munich, too).
Funny thing is – the policeman chasing her was a close friend to her son or daughter, married couple living with her and her husband…
Snoopy as she was, she had to look who was there when he friendly visited them and just had ranted about that impossible cyclist…
Thunderstruck is a mild expression here.

Here is a 5 minute 18 second video of this famous Lisbon, Portugal tram.
It’s a beautiful ride.

I’m chuckling at your comment, but really, it doesn’t seem any noisier than the traffic outside of my house. When I moved here, I didn’t think I’d ever get used to it…but, you do after a while.

I live on one flight path for the Norfolk Airport. What I noticed on 9/11 and the days after was the LACK of airplane sounds. I typically don’t notice the planes very much.

Somewhere in Hungary.
The photographer is, as near as I can tell, a woman by the name of Patály Ildikó Kibogozó (wide open to correction). Here is the Google translation of the top caption I found for the photograph……..
 
“Life is not so magical, you just have to know how to handle it, and that requires knowledge.
I got a lot of it here. Through his practical examples and super drawings, I received such a perspective from Ildiko that I feel that I CAN ACHIEVE what is really important to me”
 

 
…..which comes from      HERE.     It’s near the bottom, and you’ll pass a lot of other interesting photographs getting there.

You know, it took me a long time to find even the easiest one. The illustration is just so interesting on its own that i keep forgetting to look for a difference.

Not sure what I am doing wrong in my posting. It works for me, it is a simple YouTube link. Try going to YouTube and searching Louie Louie Wailers. Besides it being from a local band, what I like is that the words are all clearly pronounced.

Good evening, Cleophans and puzzle phanatics…

Or good morning, if you happen to arrive after dawn.

I like this drawing… It totally captures the look and ambiance… or lack thereof… of the shop where I take my car, and so many other mechanics’ shop’s where I’ve dawdled…

Or been forced to dawdle, usually while also being told that I wasn’t allowed to be inside.

That’s a puzzle in itself…..

Where can you go on foot, while your car is being held hostage? Especially in the neighborhoods where these shops are usually located.

So you go outside and sit gingerly on the broken leatherette and chrome couch that you’re pretty sure was outside last weekend in the rain.

….

And speaking of puzzles… In case you’re wondering why I called this meeting…

I gotcher solution right here!

See what you can do… And then

get it while it’s hot!

OK, but
what about the gas pump?

As I’ve said before, I no longer answer questions about disputed or additional differences.

I didn’t design the puzzle, so it has become clear that I can’t speak to the intent of the person who did.

This time, that was StelBel.

My job is simply to solve it, to make sure it can be done, and then, if necessary, check with her to make sure the differences I found were all her intended ones.

That said…..

I myself, as another solver, can see no difference at all in the gas pump from one side to the other, nor can I tell what part of it you mean.

As I’m still working on a tablet, though, and not my laptop, the resolution might be a bit imperfect, and I haven’t found tablet software to cut and paste that bit from each panel side by side for comparison or to show you.

Still it’s only my opinion, and nothing official, that whatever you’re noting must be a tiny imperfection and too small to be a difference.

If others also have found it, it’ll be up to Stel to either say it was unintended, or isn’t there, or to agree to count it as a tenth.

Edited in a bit later.
 
I had never heard of the Tiki Bar’s Fenton until yesterday.
When Liverlips asked about Fenton I went looking.
This is the video I found.

OK…I will agree to call that “difference #9½”! I admit that I “fooled” around with the gas pump, but wasn’t satisfied with the way it was coming out, so I clicked on “undo” what I thought was the requisite number of times to get back to the original, unsullied version of the pump, but alas…..I should have clicked one more time……..

Still, I do try not to make a difference that’s soooo subtle!!!! I forget that there are some real eagle eyes out there! I couldn’t even find it until I looked at Alexi’s enlargement (thanks for that).

BTW, if you were already counting the gas pump as part of your nine, does that mean you still need to find one more?

Just wondering…

OK.. I see the teeny weeny difference in the posted enlargements …

But I can’t enlarge the original image that much on my tablet.

When I “stretch” the picture as far as I can with two fingers, the resolution is lost and the lines break up before that tiny detail is revealed with any clarity.

So to anyone like me, solving it on an affordable tablet, without benefit of an enlargement made by someone else, on a computer, it doesn’t really exist!

Also, the distance between the hose and the pump is a bit greater on the right.

Again—-that MINUTE difference ( especially when viewed at the size it was meant to be and not Alexi’s enlargement) is part of the mistake that I made!

I apologize!

Now you’re just showing off that your vision is better than my vision!

Thoughts…
In my 9, I got the one that Tigressy got as “extra”, it jumped out at me, but oddly, I saw the hose-to-pump gap as the difference, not the handle as much.
But, I totally missed the “eggs” one — I should had gotten that one!

Always enjoyed Booth’s dogs. They are the definition of “scruffy mutt.”
