In summary, Evo thinks that the photo of the pomegranite seeds is the hardest photo to guess, and she would like to go to Death Valley with someone.

It is the inside of a rock.
 
  • #3
Could be a microscope shot of some fabric.
 
  • #4
It looks like it needs stitches! :uhh:
 
  • #5
Could be an extreme close up of an iris. That is the coloured but round the pupil not the plant.

It's a satellite image of a very well known geographical area in the Western US. It's colored using polarimetry.
 
  • #7
Niagara.

Darn, I was going to guess that it might be a satellite image, but I couldn't account for the colors. It must be an IR image?

Edit: sorry, got it, polarimetry

Nope.

Nope.

All great guesses, though.
 
  • #16
Yellowstone
 
  • #17
St. Helens (my next guess would have been Yellowstone)

Nope.

That picture is REALLY tough, this next one of the same place might be easier.

death valley

my second guess--colorized throws things off


basins drain down and go no place --like Salt Lake

(oh, oh, got to go------NO vs SEA)

That ones rather easy Ivan and perhaps a rather obvious choice from yourself. That would be Groom Lake otherwise known as area 51. :tongue2:
 
  • #33
Kurdt wins another week in Death Valley! WooHoo!
 
  • #34
Heh, I figured that would go quickly but was worth a try.

btw, I'm not an area 51 guy, so the obvious connection is a predisposed bias on your part. :biggrin:

Wow! On the lower right there's a baboon face in 3/4 profile. Looks like he's lying on his back looking up at the top of the picture.
