A Cabin the Woods

 

Vibrant colours, courtesy of Kodachrome.  Nice.

Tedious Tuesday, Live From ... Somewhere.

 Greetings Slide-Fans.

Yes, it's the first Tedious Tuesday of 2025, and it's not very interesting.

As usual, there's zero information on the slide, but that's never stopped me. In a matter of hours, I'd identified this as being Sacro Eremo di Camaldoli. Does this look familiar? From WikiMedia  and More Info

Bonus - 

Silly!

The Distant Deer

 

"Look Martha, there's a deer out in the field!"

"Nice, Frank, why not get a picture to show the grand-kids?"

"Good idea"

<click>

Alas, nice idea, tedious result.

Bonus - The Strange Saga of the Bat Tower

The Mud Flats

 

Today's Tedious Tuesday is a Doozy.

Mud Flats.   And a distant tree.

Thrilling.

Bonus - 

.

Winter Bird Condo

 

I know that technically, this is a Tedious Tuesday slide, but I do actually like the subject.

Just a simple bird house / feeder, but .... with some 1960's architecture. Noice.

Bonus - 

Also nice...

.

Wide Open Spaces

 Yes, that's a bit of an understatement.

A whole shoot-load of nothing.

Possibly USA. Maybe Canada.

Not likely to be Hong Kong.

Bonus - Quite Interesting - A Toucan Skeleton

Man On An 'Oss

 

Yup.

A sculpture of a Man.  On a horse.

Outside a building.

Great.

Bonus - According to the urban legend, if the statue shows the horse posed with both front hooves up in the air, the rider died in battle.  If the horse is posed with one front leg up, it means the rider was wounded in battle or died of battle wounds. And if all four hooves are on the ground, the rider died from causes outside of battle.

Hogwash

Bonus 2 - 

It's Brown and Sticky !

 

It's a stick !

Or m ore technically, a branch of a tree.

And it's not very interesting.

But, a starting point for some psychedelic experimentation.

Bonus - The population of Uruguay is 3,457,000. In Australia there are 47 million kangaroos. If the kangaroos decide to invade Uruguay, every Uruguayan has to fight against 14 kangaroos.

Bonus 2 - Italian sailors knew of America 150 years before Christopher Columbus, new analysis of ancient documents suggests

The Unusual Shop

 

No information, as usual, but the "Cabs, Rough Rocks, Slabs" mention makes me think of a Lapidary Supplies Store.

Bonus - Morrisey Upset By Simpsons Parody.

Bonus 2 - 

It's Two Damned Deer.

 

A perfect illustration of how human vision can instinctively narrow to focus on a particular thing...that either one of these deer.

However, cameras generally can't, so this slide just seems ... dull.

Bonus -in 1969, at the height of the Cold War, the Apollo 11 crew carried commemorative medals to the moon to honor two Soviet cosmonauts who died as part of the USSR's human spaceflight program
