It's been a while since one of my "What am I?" quizzes, so here we go with a new one. As always, I'll hold comments from public view until I post the answer in a day or three.

I don't normally have two photos on one of my "What am I?" quizzes, but then, I don't normally have two quizzes going at once. This one is even more obvious than the currently-outstanding "An Oh-So-Obvious "What am I?" Quiz" from a few days ago, at least if, like that one, you look at the [...]

Well, as my "What am I?" quzzes go, this one is so painfully obvious that I hesitate to put it up, but hey, maybe I'll stump someone for a few minutes. Leave your guess in the comments... as always, I'll withhold comments from publication until I give the answer.

This is not really worthy of being a my "What am I?" quiz, but it's got a certain element "what the... huh?" to it initially that requires a moment's reflection to clear up. That initial confusion is fun, and so to allow you that moment of perplexity, I'd thought I'd post it as a quiz, [...]

Time again for one of my "What am I?" quizzes. The Exif data won't help you with this one, sorry. As usual, I will keep any comments private until I post the answer, to give everyone the same chance.

It's been a while since one of my "What am I?" quizzes, so I thought I'd throw this one up. Like this quiz and this one, it's got some long thin things in it, but it's not related to either previous post. It's also not related to music. So, what do we have here?

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? (The answer is noted in the comments below; the story of our Imabari trip is [...]

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 "map & image data" 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.
