Possibly Wales
There were a LOT of images from Wales in this box, so I'm just assuming that this one is Wales as well.AI says that it shows a scenic rural landscape, identified as a hiking path leading towards Moel Hebog in Snowdonia National Park, Wales. But, as we know, AI is not always perfect.

Waiting for the Tour de France
Madge Cartwright, an ex-pat originally from the rough side of Canterbury, sit at the side of the road, bttle of wine at hand, ready to cheer on the Tour de France competitors.
Alas, that's months away....and the tour doesn't pass near here. Just an excuse, you old lush.
Bonus - The Murder That Shook Iceland
Bonus 2 - Brutal footage of cat being slowly digested by an alligator

Country Folk
Yes, it is a very dirty slide.
But not as Dirty as young Isobel(on the right). Oooh, the stories I could tell about here.
"Mr and Mrs Rounsley and Isobel 9-8-63"
Bonus - No Particular Reason - Flying Lizards - Summertime Blues.

The Gateway to a Fuller Happy Life
OK. The title might sound like a Scientology advert, but I suspect that the owner of this field is probably happier than 90% of Londoners.

Meanwhile in Hollingbourne...
(just out of view) Father William O'Flaherty is riding a camel around his kitchen, playing an improvised game of Polo using a frozen duch and a long handled mop.
If you listen carefully, you can hear the soft padding of the camel's feet.
Bonus - The Guardian is beyond parody. The decline of B&Q is a hammer blow for lesbians.
Bonus 2 - Dull News in Local Newspapers

A Trip To The Countryside
Who said that Socks and Sandals were a fashion crime?? It's a perfectly acceptable combination.

Freddie and The Fens
No, not a Popular Beat Combo from the Sixties.
Freddie Rumsden and his love of Opera Singing in the Norfolk Fens. (Hence the dinner jacket and dickie bow tie.)
You'll notice from the sloping horizon that this was before the fens were levelled.

View From The Top
Ah, there's nothing better, at the end of a long tedious Tuesday, than climbing to the top of Observatory Tower at Château Slideguy, and taking a long loving look at the surrounding Flora and Fauna.
From up here, it's surprising the variety of wildlife that I can see - some of it is quite exotic.
Bonus - Spoilsport - List of common misconceptions

Dark Remembered Hills
Tedious Tuesday is a bit of a tradition round these parts - slides that just lack that spark of emotion. However, I do also include not-great technique slides, in here, even if (like this one) there are some redeeming features.
Here, I'm sure the view in real life was spectacular. However, as a slide, the camera just can't come with the contrasts, and the all-round grandeur of the scene. Better if you were there...wherever it is. (Lincolnshire ?) Nice cloud formation.
Bonus - Possibly from House on Haunted Hill

The Art of Camouflague
Camouflage is the art of concealment. The ability not to be seen.
In this slide, there are actually three soldiers, one horse, two tanks, a couple of clowns and a small submarine.
You can not see them, as they are camouflaged. They are actually inside the dustbin which is bottom centre of the picture.
We've booby-trapped that dustbin. Shall we press the button, children?
Bonus - Makes sense in context.
