does look like there’s a LARGE number of folks…maybe it’s rush hour.
or maybe the Friday after Thanksgiving . It’s probably fanciful ….the double decker buses got me too,….
just some random thoughts, I was just drawn by the extraordinary detail and appreciated the time it took to complete it.
my guess, by the cars, it’s 1938 probably NYC
Me too… it’s like a big story full of tiny people.
Have there ever been double decker buses in NYC?
Ok… I just image searched it, and found a bit of conflicting information. Some was obviously incorrect…. One labeling it early 1920s, and another 1050s.
But several places had the probable truth. NYC 1936, an ad for Republic Steel… Which seemed odd till I found this caption:
“Fifth Avenue: 1936
From Fifth Avenue to Main Street, alloy steels have changed the driving habits of America. Republic Steel, 1936.”
A 10′ drop, stopped by a rope around waist seems like a good way to break one’s back. I really though the rope was to help those coming after, but I just realized that it’s slack.
It’s not bogus; the German entry clearly says that Liebig’s friend’s daughter quickly recovered after being fed that meat extract. She was too sick to keep solid food inside.
I just went looking for the solution because I didn’t feel like solving it.
Go to the top left corner.
Go down to the fence.
Continue down past the half sheep to the puff of the next sheep’s tail.
Move right to the fence and the butterfly.
Continue right two sheep to the fence.
Go to the left fence post and go to the sheep directly below it.
The chick’s beak is directly below its ear.
Uh .. Alexi…
I know you love complicated directions…
But
All you have to do is …
Count down six sheep from the top right corner (including the half sheep, and the one below, whatever it’s doing…
The sixth sheep is jumping over a fence.
The chick is standing on the feet of the sheep to the left of the sixth one, hiding by blending in with his body.
Or if you didn’t want to count, just find the only bit of fence actually touching the right edge, a bit over halfway down…
There’s a sheep jumping over it… The chick is hiding on the next step to the left.
Simpler still… Look at MCTS’s solution, which was posted hours before.
Americans (and I’m not sure about Canadians) need to know that what’s called a grill in the UK is called a broiler in the US.
They don’t mean do it on your charcoal grill.
I’m thinking instead of two saucepans, and possibly scorched cheese to clean, I’d heat the ale and make the topping in a couple of glass measuring cups in the microwave.
BTW I’ve never used ale, but strong dark beer is very good in it, along with the sharpest aged cheddar you’ve got.

I wish i could still sleep anywhere.
Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday.
.
Good morning!
And yes, Happy Birthday, Happy³….
Sorry, we’re still trying to keep it all low key, here on Cleo… but I do hope you have a wonderful day.
Signed more paperwork today. 🙂
As usual, I’m late to the party. I wish all the best for you.
I hope all goes well, and it’s a great birthday gift that you have given yourself.
a birthday cupcake for you!
I would keep that cake topper. 😀
Tsk tsk … Hope you’re not wishing anybody a
sh… a poopy birthday!Pass.

Trying to figure out whether this depicts an event, or perhaps people leaving one…
Did a show just let out?
Is that a yellow cab stand middle right? How would that grey car ever get to leave, hemmed in so tightly?
And is that a bus with an open top deck, across the street?
There’s a policeman with a whistle directing traffic in the middle of the street.
So maybe there’s a small crowd because that’s a crosswalk…
Or was that black car, from left, involved in an accident?
The picture needs to come with narration, like those zoos and museum exhibits with keys you can turn to hear more information.

The 1050’s?!? Definitely an unreliable source.
Oopsie! 🤭
What gave it away?

Emulating yesterday’s mountain goat…
I don’t think that rope will help him.
Maybe it’s attached not far below, so he can’t drop all the way down?
A 10′ drop, stopped by a rope around waist seems like a good way to break one’s back. I really though the rope was to help those coming after, but I just realized that it’s slack.
Maybe he’s moving up to a spot where he can belay the next climber.
Why do I have a yen to yodel?
Yodelodle away-hee-hee!
I forgot to post my translation…
Alpinism would be mountaineering, or climbing… In the “Chimney”… which must be a nickname for that vertical rift.
It appears to be an ad for Liebig (brand, I presume) real meat extract.
The Red Bull or protein shake of its day, I guess.
It has nothing to do with Red Bull!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meat_extract
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleischextrakt#Liebigs_Fleischextrakt
I know it has nothing to do with Red Bull!
And Red Bull has nothing to do with meat.
You saw my translation!
I was making an analogy, and kind of a joke…
Just saying it was the magic “potion” of its day.
Back then they thought meat extract would give you energy and strength, the way they believe in Red Bull and protein shakes today.
I think it’s all bogus.
Sorry you didn’t get it.
The phrase “the ___ of its day” means a comparison, not that you think it’s the same thing.
It’s not bogus; the German entry clearly says that Liebig’s friend’s daughter quickly recovered after being fed that meat extract. She was too sick to keep solid food inside.
LOL !!!!!
Amazing for a guy to find that funny. 😁
It’s the same thing my head does in that situation 🙂
Is this ratcheting up the situation?

I have normal colour vision, but this one defeated me. I’ve set this to start at the answer (again, the choice of music is terrible).
Yeah, I made it slightly different, and it did take some looking to see the numbers.
Similar,
I can usually see them too… But for this one, nada.
Close, farther away, small phone screen, larger tablet, moving, still…
for just a moment I thought it said “Kind” in a stencil type font.
But no.
Love this!
Tell me more about Diamond-navel Nancy…
Was she in “Das Indische Grabmal” or “Der Tiger von Eschnapur”?
This is all I could find (sadly / the attachment is the same as the side blurb below)….
I finally found the daisy!
I think i got it.
I can’t – I keep falling asleezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…
don’t count!
I think I found it, I think it’s:
You’re right.
Same as I found.
The problem i had with this solution, when I found it (though I knew it was obviously correct)
And sheep don’t have feet to stand on.
So we have to think of this a just a hidden picture… Not part of the scene.
picky picky!

Story of my life.
The first for alert, the second to target, the third to… well, you know the rest.
,
This is worth showing again.
always
Titled “Rails V.”
And if you forced me to guess, I’d say somewhere in Saskatchewan.
Al Capone in jail
Good place for him. He should have died in jail.
He looks happy. Maybe it was a relief for him to get away from “business”.
I hate to say it, but I’d like to see a little more misery from the monster.
Who knew he played the banjo?!
I have never put ale in rarebit, but it sounds good !
I forgot:
From today’s London “Daily Mail.”
Another from today’s “Daily Mail.”
Probably more than you wanted to know.
His death at 54 was sad (his ashes were scattered at sea).
I loved his movies.
I loved the movie about him… “Ed Wood” with Johnny Depp.
Pink brassiere and knickers, eh? But if he was a marine, he had to be tough.
But, when do you add the rabbit?
When you can catch one… But it’s hard.
That’s why it’s a rare bit.
I kinda thought rabbit too, and then saw that it’s basically a toasted cheese sandwich with seasonings —and yes, it sounds good
It’s essentially cheese on toast.
sounds good!
Now this one sounds good.

FRANKENBASSET… I love it. It’s not as scary as Abbot & Costello meet Frankenstein. I can even watch it from the first row.
Me too! On both counts.
I, for one, had no idea. Happy Bird-day, Happy(3)!
