Now that was one tough puzzle.

I bet it was, too, Sheryl. It's a photo of Ian's and it's bark off a paperbark tree. I don't think I'll be trying it right now. I cheated and looked at the photo.

Hmmm. This is for after a good night's sleep

I'll leave this one until later today.

Bark of eucalyptus tree - very tricky, esp without picture for reference and rotation turned on!

Hardest hard in several days (or weeks?)

PJ - you are a glutton for punishment doing it the extra hard way.

Wonderful photo of a cliff-face. Excellent very difficult puzzle!!!

Indeed, this was difficult and the photographer has a great eye!

Initially truggled, but towards compelting, became easier. Really enjoyed this one.

Meant completing!

Very hard. I also think it is the bark from a tree.

Jeeze PJ, tell me you didn't do it with the picture off and rotation on! I now regret having tried to be so 'tricky' with this photo. It is the bark of a Paperbark (melaleuca) tree, a native of Australia. When I photographed it I thought I might liven up everyone's mornings by rotating the More...

At least there are no white pieces.

It was very hard, but, I was all wrong...I was guessing it was the inside of a cave!!

Ian, you did not liven up my day...I am now on my way to take a nap and rest my weary brain!!!

Your right Ian, I first thought of cliffs, but I spend a lot of time looking at & photographing Hawkesbury River sandstone cliffs so it didn't quite jel! Hadn't got to paperbark though. Thanks for the double puzzle!

Omigosh, I'd forgotten, it's Friday 13th - I do hope nobody bust anything in frustration with the puzzle.

Good one. Really difficult until near the end. Thanks Ian.

Lucky for me it is still the 12th here. I was thinking it looked like the remains after a glacier has melted back and then thought maybe a climbing cliff and somewhere I would find a climber. Never thought of bark. Will show my boys as they are involved in a very good program learning earth science.

ahhhh. The simple joys of life... finally getting one more piece to fit

Thought I was having a 'moment'. Boy, that took me ages. Out of my element tonight -might have been distracted using my sons lap top whilst football on in the background, 29 floors up in an apartment on the Gold Coast for a wedding tomorrow. Pleased to see I wasn't the only one to find this difficult. Another great shot Ian.....

Thank you to everyone who appreciated my photo. I found it difficult - even when I did it for the second time! I don't think I'll do that again.

That was hard! Did anyone do it rotated? I had the picture hidden.

Ian, no loss of friends here-I diid think it was stone or rock . Great puzzle (once in a while?)

Sheryl, I don't have any more like that one.

Whew! That's a heck of a puzzle to work at 3:19 a.m. Great challenge, Ian, but I almost just skipped right on to the next one when I first saw it. 04/02/08

Whew! I think I'm going blind! but I loved doing it. Ian, are you ever without your camera with your eyes open for unique images?
