Archive for the 'What am I?' CategoryGuess what the picture is of
It's been a while since I posted one of my "What am I?" quizzes, so here's a new one. But let me be up front about one thing: the picture above is a daytime picture that I've tried to make look like it was taken at night. It's really dark because it was an area [...]

If you get the point of this "What am I?" quiz, leave your answer in the comments. I'll withhold all comments until I reveal the answer in a few days...

Well, my previous "What am I?" Quiz went off with a fizzle, so I'll try a different one, a photo I took near the exquisite road-side weeds yesterday. Story this quiz is taken from is continued here...

Having finished up yesterday with my last post on the oddly-interesting Towel Museum in Imabari, Japan, I thought I'd post one more "What am I?" quiz from there, adding to the last month's quiz from there. So, what's today's photo?

I was hoping to post by now about last week's visit to a traditional Japanese swordsmith, but I've been down with a cold for the last three days. Unfun. So, here's a "What am I?" quiz to pass the time... what is this implement from the swordsmith's workshop for?

I took this photo today of a chunk of wood about the size of a footstool, but not a footstool. It has a very specific use. Unlike many of my "What am I?" quizzes, the image Exif data will likely be of no use for this one. What is it?

I took this photo today, and thought to use it for one of my "What am I?" quizzes. As if often the case, the image metadata will give a strong hint to those who know how to read it (that is, to those who know how to click on the "full exif & map" link [...]

Okay, so I didn't challenge anyone with yesterday's post, but being tired from another 400km of driving today, I'll post another "What am I?" quiz today, of a photo I took this afternoon. I expect this one will be a tad more formidable, but as is often the case, the image metadata provides valuable clues [...]

I thought I was beat after the long drive yesterday, but today was a whole new level, so I'm absolutely exhausted, so tonight just this unchallenging "What am I?" quiz. It's something fairly common, but uncommon to see this close. I can't imagine anyone would be stumped, but if you are, following the "full exif" [...]

Here's a "What am I?" quiz for the new year. Leave your guess in the comments; as with my other quizzes, I'll keep comments hidden until I reveal the answer in a few days.

Today started off cold and rainy, forcing me to actually get some development done on my plugins, but it cleared up in the afternoon. I'd been out on a photographic fall-color central-Japan adventure every day so far this week (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu), and wanted to make it a full week-long marathon, so I headed [...]

I put up my previous "What am I?" quiz ("Just-Arrived-After-a-Long-Flight "What am I?" Quiz) after I arrived for a summer at my folks' place a month ago, but now that I'm ready to spend the next couple of days in a tin can for our return to Kyoto, it seems reasonable to put up another [...]

Two "What am I?" quizzes in a row, sorry, but I just arrived at my folks' place in Ohio after a series of very looooong flights from Japan, so jetlag-wise I'm not quire ready to do much writing.

Another "What am I?" quiz. I'll be traveling for a few days, so your guesses will remain hidden from public view until I reveal the answer next week...

This one almost gives me vertigo. It's straight out of Lightroom... no custom processing. I can't tell whether this'll be the easiest "What am I?" Quiz I've ever posted, or the most difficult. As always, I'll keep all responses private until I reveal the answer.

Going through the photos from our recent trip to Awaji Island, most recently mentioned in the previous late-afternoon sun at a beach post, I noticed that I had a lot of geometricish "interesting shapes" photos (such as the opening shot in last week's "Hyakudanen: 100 Terraced Garden Squares" post). I was collection some of them [...]

Well, I fear this one won't be much of a challenge, but my track record at predicting which "What am I?" quizzes are of interest or a challenge is pretty bad, so I'll throw this one out. What is it? As always, I'll leave your submitted answers hidden for a while, so as not to [...]

I gave my new Sigma "Bigma" 50-500mm superzoom a shot in the dark (so to speak) yesterday evening, and while looking through the results today, came across this throw-away shot of a spotlight at a rock garden. The photo is wholly unremarkable except for some very weird indistinct wavy parallel tracks that can be seen [...]

This is a photo from or snowy New Year trip, which I last wrote about the other day in "Snowy Farewell to Gokayama Village", which ended up with us arriving in Gokayama Village's much more famous thatched-house sibling, Shirakawago Village. I'd originally intended to full post, but am running out of time this evening, so [...]

Well, my previous stone-related "What am I?" quiz was apparently too difficult for everyone, so here's a softy.... I found this stone lantern among the hundreds of odd-shaped and beautiful stone carvings in the gardens behind the Nishimura Stone Lanterns workshop. Those familiar with the Star Wars™ world (or with the vast array of Star [...]
