(House ... Side ... Maud)

 

"And this is Maude, at the side of the house.

Sigh. So dull.

It's Art, Dudes

 

A bit conflicted in this slide. Sure, a slide of a framed picture sounds like Tedious Tuesday fodder, but...

...It's cool.

According to what was writ on the slide, "Jun-85 Bali, Ubud Museum".

...and that lead to this website

Bonus - A quick bit of ISIHAC

Pretty ... Tedious

 

The weird thing about Tedious Tuesday is tat slides are often quite pretty. Good Windows desktop backgrounds.

But it terms of interesting...not so much.

Bonus - Addiction illustrated

Spirit of 76

 

With this being the USA's Two Hundred and Fiftieth Birthday year, maybe I should have featured this on July 4th.

But, what a bit of boring trash memorabilia. 

Nope.

Bonus - 

This Is The Way

 

Today's Tedious Tuesday is a goody. Some repainted traffic guidance, from 1965.

And that's it.

Why did some take this image?

Bonus - I may be not posting for a while...

Bonus 2 - Things were better in the old days. Maybe 

Roadworks Ahead

 

Today's Tedious Tuesday slide is from 1968, and seems to be from China. And it's of roadworks, with a wooden bridge.

Why someone would photograph that....your guess is as good as mine.

EDIT - AI says "

This scene likely depicts a street in Vietnam, potentially Cholon or Danang, during the late 1960s.

The image features significant construction activity, including exposed rebar for what appears to be a bridge or drainage project.

The surrounding area shows traditional wooden structures and traffic typical of the era."

Bonus - 

The Drive

 

Getting back into the rhythm, let's  have another Tedious Tuesday image.

Today : No Date, No Location. No Info. Quite a nice scene.

Bonus - 

Oh ... A Flower

 

Technically, possibly just a weed.

But I guess that this weed struggling to flower in the parched scrubland of Ibiza made a pleasant change from spotty teenager acting like idiots on a school trip.

Bonus - 

Sky, Sea, Bloke, Sand, Log

 

The only remotely interesting thing about this slide is that the bloke's name is Gaylord.

Maybe.

Bonus - 

What ARE the doing behind that fence?

 

Today's Tedious Tuesday slide might be more mysterious than tedious.

They might be building a road, but they could be mixing the world biggest pancake mix.

Interesting (-iah.)

Bonus - 

OK, I thought it might be Egypt.

 

But according to artificial intelligence...

The image shows a panoramic view of the ancient city of Jericho, situated in the Jordan Valley. 

Jericho is widely recognized as one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, with settlements dating back to approximately 9000 BCE.

The city is famously mentioned in biblical history as the first town attacked by the Israelites under Joshua.  Archaeological excavations have revealed the remains of over 20 successive settlements at the site.

Located in the West Bank, it is positioned near the Jordan River and north of the Dead Sea.

Thatched !

 

Today's Tedious Tuesday post - is praise for the thatcher.

Not Margaret Thatcher, but the guy who applies rushes and reed to house roofs.

A quintessentially English style of house, tho' you can find examples elsewhere.

High-Rise Ennui

 

Today sees a return to normality. 

And in fact, a return to Tuesday Tedium.

Its especially tedious, with no info at all.

It might be "Brisgi" high-rise in the Kappelerhof area of Baden, but frankly, it's not worth the bother to check.

So, I've let the artistic filters do their stuff, to produce image B.

Bonus - 

An oldie, but a goodie.

A Hill, in the distance.

 

Tedious Tuesday returns, and it's a scenic one.

A sharp peak on the horizon. No info for it.

The shape reminds me of Mount Kenya, but honestly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh Look. Another Church.

 

It seems a pity to post this on Tedious Tuesday, because it does look like quite an impressive building.

But, these sort of slide are basically boring,. An interesting church on a day coach-trip to mumblety-mumble.  Let's take a picture to bore the neighbours with, but not have any information of where and when.

OK, in this case, it might be St. George's Basilica - Prague Castle.  Image  StreetView

Bonus - 

Far from the madding crowd

 

No info on this slide, but it does look like the foothills of the Himalayas / Hindu Kush / basically "Foreign".

There's something of interest on the slopes - looks like white rocks arranged to spell something, but the slide resolution is too poor to read it.

All in all, quite a dull slide.

Bonus - there's a place in Yellowstone Park where you could theoretically get away with murder due to a constitutional loophole discovered by a law professor in 2005

Up To The Roof

Yes, Tedious Tuesday again, and today ....well. Something.

Outwardly, a failed photo, with under-exposed details. While playing with the contrast does reveal some intricate details in the walls, it's still difficult to make out any real structure. Except, seemingly, a curving staircase leading ever upwards.

And I really like that original stark image.

I think the location is the US Capital building rotunda...but I could be wrong https://maps.app.goo.gl/VmeZZ4BpXb6zp6M4A

 Bonus - 

A Load of Stone

 

What the heck is this?

...was my first thought. No info in the box of slides it came in, but other in the box from 1980 looked rather "Egypt-y".

And that was all the clue I needed. Yes, it's the Unfinished Obelisk, at Aswan.

Probably.

Bonus - 

Quack !

 

Nothing much to say, except that this male White-headed Duck (Oxyura leucocephala) is called Colin.

Bonus - A Jehovahs witness knocked on my door yesterday

So I invited him in and made him a cup of tea and sat him down at my table. 

I asked him what he wanted to talk about and he replied with “I’m fucked if I know I haven’t got this far before“

Well, mark me down as "Impressed"

Another aerial view, I thought. Probably some American Mid-west city, I assumed.

But, I let Google's AI have a look at the image and 

"This aerial photograph captures a view of Aalborg, Denmark, likely taken from the Aalborg Tower, which opened in 1933. 

The image appears to be a vintage postcard, as suggested by the search results.

The prominent area in the foreground with many trees and structured plots is a cemetery, likely the Almen Kirkegård.

The body of water visible in the middle ground is the Limfjord, which separates the northern part of Jutland from the rest of the peninsula.

The city of Aalborg is a major industrial and cultural centre in the region of North Jutland, Denmark."

And, looking at the map....yeah. Seems very likely.  And the Aalborgtårnet observation tower is VERY cool.
