Search results all over the map… one site even claimed this to be an African boy with an unusual breed of African dog… though that was quickly corrected in the comments.

But I found the whole photo spread on one site…. Several pictures of this fashion model, this one with a borzoi, taken for Elle Brasil, July 2017.

Wherever it’s from, it’s still a striking photo.
I like it.

I think it’s beautiful.

Some might call it exploitation, if they didn’t also show topless Caucasian models….

But in Brazil that’s not likely. My friend who married a Brazilian (temporarily, as it turned out… sigh …) said the beaches are all pretty close to “clothing optional.”

I remember this photo, perhaps even from the Comics Sherpa days. Not sure which of them is the professional model.

Probably both.

And I think it was more recent than that… But I didn’t search the image that time, so now I got another chance.

Did his glasses fall off, but not go straight down… Or is that something that doesn’t belong in the picture?

Imagine getting that high up a mountain (actually I’d rather not) and losing your glasses!

I can’t even think about it… It’s too scary!

That’s why they make those elastic things kids (maybe grown-ups too) wear, that attach to the earpieces, and hold your glasses on for sports.

I’m always (unreasonably) scared my glasses will fall off looking over a balcony or some such.

If I were climbing a mountain …. aside from all the pigs flying… I’d be wearing one.

If they don’t make them for adults, there are still definitely the longer ones, that let reading glasses hang around your neck… where they might still fall off, but at least they wouldn’t be gone.

They are made in adult sizes too. A lot of athletes use them.

They make similar things for hearing aids and cochlear implants as well. I highly recommend them for certain activities.

I’m thinking it was added as they are pretty far from the cliffside, and if hey had bounced off the cliff, they wouldn’t be so level, like if they were sitting on a table.

This is….
The Goonies

40 years ago last month!

I don’t recognize two young actors who are said to be in it…. maybe they’re just that much younger than the way I know them…

Or maybe this is a shot they’re not part of.

Can anybody pick out….
Josh Brolin and Sean Austin?

Not to distract from the story…. I see that this car has right hand drive…. but isn’t that an odd placement for the ignition switch?

If not on the steering column I expect it to be close to it, on the right, not a long reach over or under the wheel to the left

I suppose lefties might like it, as the ordinary set up must be hard to use left handed… But it’s still far away.

Or is this more common than I think?

Not a strange place for the ignition switch in that era of UK cars. Some manufactures who wanted to sell RHD for the UK, and LHD for export, would design the interiors so there could be minimal changes made between the two. Think of the original Mini, the speedo was in the centre of the dashboard so they didn’t have to change anything except for the steering column and the pedals between the two variants.

Here’s a photo of the interior of the 1950’s Morris 1000, note the position of the ignition switch and speedometer, and the symmetry of the dashboard layout for changing production between the two versions.

Found the model (Or close enough to it), it’s a Jaguar MkII from the 1960’s.

Different steering wheel, but same dashboard.

Thank you!

I didn’t realize… though central placement does make sense for dual marketing.

Now I want to know how you start it, if you’re right handed. With your left hand?

My dad was left handed… I remember he still turned the key with his right hand. I don’t know if most lefties do that or not…. I never really thought about it.

In my childhood, most of the left handed people I know were forced to do certain things with their right, so maybe it’s not as much of a problem as with younger people who were always “allowed” to be lefties.

But we right-handed people are generally not very adept at all with our left. Reaching way over there with my left would be awkward…. Not as awkward as trying to cross the steering wheel with my right.

A few lefties I know would be smirking.😁

I used to start them with my left hand, it never has been an issue over here as far as I’m aware, but we had a lot of vehicles with the ignition switch placed in that sort of position.

The Saab 900 had the ignition key in the centre console near the gear lever.

My current Ford Ranger has a pushbutton start, with the button on the LHS of the steering column on the dashboard, (Same as the Ford Mondeo (Current Ford Fusion in the US) I had a while back), but the company Ford Ranger had a key on the RHS of the steering column, as you’d normally expect. I drove a brand new variant of the Ford Ranger a couple of months ago, and the pushbutton start was on the RHS of the steering column on the dashboard.

Before ‘standardisation’, vehicles could have the indicator stalk on either side of the steering column, you just adapt.

Being in the UK, I normally drive a RHD vehicle, and I have both manual and automatic transmissions. I also have a LHD vehicle with a manual gearbox, and it’s not uncommon for me to jump between any of the different types. Like anything, you get used to things.

That center console one is very strange to me… But I obviously haven’t driven a lot of vehicles.

My 2017 Prius V has the main instruments in the center, probably for the same reason.

Looks like a pretty place… but the caption is confusing, cos Delaware and Pennsylvania are two different states.

But it turns out this is Delaware Water Gap, the name of an area and also a town in Pennsylvania, where the Delaware River runs through a cut, or gap, in the Appalachians.

It’s been a resort area for many years, and it’s now a designated National Recreational Area.

So this would have been somewhere families… presumably well off ones, by the look of that hotel…. went on woodsy vacations.

The Delaware Water Gap extends into NJ. I-80 runs down through it. As scenic as it is, the traffic is brutal.

Is it time to post the solution?

I don’t see a lot of comments about the puzzle… but maybe everybody is out watching fireworks.

Not me… I’m hard at work finding today’s TEN differences… just for you, of course. 😇

Love the doggie acrobats… Some have incredible balance and skill.

And they’re so nonchalant!

I’m still trying to figure out what’s going on with that dachshund at upper left… are her(?) hind legs pointing upwards, or is she shaped like a sea creature?

Anyway…. have fun finding all the ways the panels differ…

Then compare with what I found

I found this one to be one of the more difficult challenges, a very busy scene. But I finally got the tenth one, and like Liverlips, the last one I shoulda got right off the bat, cause I looked at it directly right from the get-go, and it just did not register…

Thanks for the solutions, Susan, they are always a great help!

My interweb is being weird this weekend. I reset the router and the speed is good, but connections to various sites are iffy and the contact sometimes breaks if I do make it.
