What’s in the box comes from the Getty Images site.

Do it again, Daddy! And now all the other kids will want you to do it until your arms ache! Been there, satisfied a lot of kids, with and without fathers (but not quite so high). I love kids’ laughs!
Image search turned up that it’s downtown Toronto, on an extremely cold night, taken by a photographer named Ronnie Yip, who climbs very tall buildings to get shots like this
That doesn’t explain the round horizon.
I tried to download a picture from one site, of a building with blue circular levels, that this night have been taken from…. But the image disappears a few seconds after I save it
Can’t make out the signature with the resolution on my tablet… or maybe it’s the image itself…. but it’s gotta be a George Booth drawing. A legendary New Yorker cartoonist.
It looks exactly like my mechanic’s shop when I first started going there, 15 years ago, except for the signs on the wall. There were always broken appliances and machines and parts lying around that had nothing to do with cars.
The “waiting room” had broken chairs, piles of boxes, and greasy tools scattered on the table near the not so clean coffee pot… which was often left on the burner when empty, so the room smelled of burning. Even the fresh coffee tasted like something rescued from a fire.
Using the rest room was an adventure. He said I was one of the only women who did.
Since then, his business has deservedly grown… It’s still housed in one of those places like this one, that look like storage units with roll up doors… But he’s spread out from 2 doors to 5
Now he’s got about 6 mechanics, one female, and several young women taking shifts in the office, so all that has been tidied up …. to a degree, anyway.
I like how everybody calmly watches without the scrambling to get away like you see with members of the general public who haven’t been around farm animals. No panic and confusion causing anxiety in the animal, which would cause it to act unpredictably.

Right now in paleontology someone is reporting a new discovery every week. Or more!
That woulda been a lot of whale salad sandwiches.

“Luke, I am your father…”
DOES resemble ol’ Darth

“Father Bob” I like that.

Didn’t realize they were actors, not soldiers, till i suddenly recognized
Now I think the guy

Not waste time shooting you.
Yeah, that’ll work.
Tie-dyed Eagle! Something from the seventies?
They’re dragons using a concealment illusion spell.
Just proves that cats like holes. 🙂
Hi, Happy³ – that’s it! Mine loves holes, too.
“If I fits…”
Only when their intergalactic multi-dimensional inhibitors fail.

Real food for thought…
I thought this might be controversial
Of course if Americans really believed this you’d still be 13 British colonies…
Controversial?
Truth should never be controversial.
The illustration is perfect for the explanation.
Perfect for a “visual learner” such as I.
this video was titled: ‘He knows he did wrong!’
The little girl clearly loves it. She simply has no concept of the risk. She takes it as a given that daddy will catch her every single time.
But the risk is real.
And what if he’s not Daddy?
Um…
That was quite the toss.
Do it again, Daddy! And now all the other kids will want you to do it until your arms ache! Been there, satisfied a lot of kids, with and without fathers (but not quite so high). I love kids’ laughs!

Curious to know where and how this was taken.

Fish-eye lens on the camera to give a wide-angle view would be my guess.
Yuri Gargarin
I have always loved Booth’s dogs. Almost as much as JVA’s pooches. And Cleo.
I shoulda read your comment before posting mine😁
Glad we agree that it’s Booth.
By George, I think I’ve found them all. Have I?
Have you?
Yes!
I love this puzzle too.

Anyway…..
I guess I should post…
It is indeed GEORGE BOOTH.
Eight, and looking at your solution Susan, I can see why I missed the one I did.
YES!!!!
I don’t think happy³ will be renting in this Houston apartment building (or if he does he likely won’t be using its pool).
Nope!
I don’t like it here.

You mean more unpredictably than it did?
Whoops!
