  • Wow, this was the fastest solution yet :D

    Yes, it's a microscopic (electron microscopic) view of a shark's skin.

  • I don't dislike him, I just don't consider him a King, just a good musician.

  • That was too easy, I shouldn't have left the sign.
    New one then.
    What is this? (bonus points for identifying my car, too)
    Hopefully this one will take longer.
    Again, the answer will come on Friday if there

  • I have no idea what that is of ;p
    But I'm fairly certain thats a Toyota Camery
    And the picture was taken with a Canon A520 digital camera ;p

    maybe Google will tell me what that is...

  • Bonus points to Willis for getting the car. It's a Toyota Corolla, which is close enough to the Camry.
    No points for the Exif data, that's not part of the challenge :)

  • I honestly meant Corolla, I just mix those two names up a lot ;p
    and you took the picture on May 15th, 2006
    you want your the exposure settings your camera probably chose for you? :)

  • I don't need that clue.
    Google and Wikipedia do not seem to acknowledge this place's existance.

    Therefor, it doesn't exist and you were never there.

  • Haha oh crud. Didnt think someone else would post so soon. I saw that pic and was all like "Omf! I know that car!" but i forgot and had to do some searching but i didnt find anything. Then it hit me: We owned that car! XD Ours had a rear top spoiler.

    Wild guess on the rest: Ruins of Windsor?

  • Well done, that proved to be obscure enough to take 4m 3 hours to discover.
    I highly advise everyone not to visit the Ruins, located in Port Gibson, Mississippi
    We had to drive for an hour on strange dirt roads past where hundreds of sharecroppers lived.
    And now another picture.
    4m, you must wait until Wednesday before posting on this one, to give everyone else a chance.

    What is this?
    Hint: it was taken the same day as the previous photo, so it is relatively close.

    It shows the logo of the company. That would just give it all away.
    The logo is color-coordinated with the building though.
