UPDATE - Just like an Ice Hockey World series we Have a Canadian 1-2!
Claudia ssaid it was at the Musee D'Orsay and while it is the roof and not part of a painting that is close enough. So a copy of the Poor Mouth will be sent to her
I hope Knatolee likes Sibelius as she gets the prize for the strangest suggestion
So Claudia, Knatolee if you would get in contact via the email address on my profile I will make arrangements to sent you your prizes
Here's a little challenge. The first person to say what this is a photograph of wins a copy of Flann O'Brien's The Poor Mouth.
Addendum. You can have as many goes as you like. The strangest suggestion will get a Sibelius CD

These are your towels in your linen cupboard.
ReplyDeleteIt's, of course, Sergeant Pluck's diaphragm while he's chuckling about the date which proves that you are 16 days ahead of the times, Jams.
ReplyDeleteNice idea James but not in my linen cupboard
ReplyDeleteHaha Sean You deserve a prize for that answer!
ReplyDeleteI think it is an Xray of maybe your chest? Taken at the Doctors? just a guess.
ReplyDeleteplease see mine here

Actually it's not my rib or any part of my body. That said I did go to teh docs yesterday with a rib related problem!
ReplyDeleteYou recently stumbled through a Star Gate (a la 2001)?
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think I am not of this world but i's not 2001!
ReplyDeleteCould be almost anything so I will guess a petals.
ReplyDeleteNot petals Cherie!
ReplyDeleteClose up of the "statue" below.... :)
ReplyDeleteNot the statue but you are the closest so far
ReplyDeletewell sort of, Nevin!
ReplyDeleteA statue was my next guess, so it is back to the drawing board...
ReplyDeleteAs many tries as you want Cherie!
ReplyDeleteI know!! It's one of your cats.... close up of course...
ReplyDeleteOh Nevin you're getten way colder!
ReplyDeleteParis.
ReplyDeleteLOL! give us a hint!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is in Paris Sergeant but it's not about a bicycle!
ReplyDeleteAh Nevin have a think about what I like
Pere Lachaise.
ReplyDeleteIt's not Pere Lachaise even though I have taken many photos there
ReplyDeleteFrom a painting?
ReplyDeleteIt's a music wave band, from a French song you heard in Paris. Or on the cover of a recent music album, or video.
ReplyDeleteBegging:I need that book desperately, Jams.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI cancelled my last effort because you said it's not in Père Lachaise before. I had missed your comment. Still trying, Jams.
ReplyDeleteI think it's in the beautiful water of your post Reflections.
ReplyDeletethe eifel tower lol!
ReplyDeletethanks for your comment.
Ah Cherie, Claudia, Viel it is in Paris but not the Eiffel Tower.
ReplyDeleteI will give a clue. It is some form of Parisian structure
Sacré-Cœur?
ReplyDeleteIt's a mexican on a bike. These things always are.
ReplyDeleteThe glass triangle thing outside le Louvre.
ReplyDeleteShoah Memorial in Paris.
ReplyDeleteWhen do you want my address for the Poor Mouth?
Liz, Caludia, Cherie nice tries. You are getting sort of warmer Liz.
ReplyDeleteActually it's a Morroccan on a unicycle Liz.. I jest!
It's a load of hyperbollix ;-)
ReplyDeleteHaha Stu!
ReplyDeleteJams: Off topic, sorry. Ben has taken in other parts of the world, Italy, Chile, etc.
ReplyDeleteLink
Its the Mona Lisa... obviously.
ReplyDeleteOf course, it's Rodin: The Kiss.
ReplyDeleteI knew it all the time.
I'm very glad to hear that JHL.
ReplyDeleteSadly not a Giaconda Smile Mutley or a Kiss Cladia!
Part of a tapeworm?
ReplyDeleteAh Snoopy no Annelids were photographed for the purpose of this quiz
ReplyDeleteIt's a cosmic baguette on an acid trip. The poor little baguette was sitting on a marble table at a Paris café, waiting to be smeared with room-temperature Brie and homemade strawberry jam, when it was instead brushed aside in favour of a freshly-made brioche. The baguette was so depressed at being rejected that it rolled off the table onto the sidewalk, where it coincidentally landed on a tab of acid, right next to a pile of that ever-present Parisien doggy-doo. Being fresh and spongy, the baguette quickly absorbed the acid and started on its wild-and-wonderful but black-and-white trip. Whilst flailing about, the spurned baguette (somehow animated) depressed the button on the camera you had carelessly left at your feet while you were guzzling café au lait. A linen napkin fell past the lens just as the shutter clicked. Voilà!
ReplyDeleteSo. Did I guess right?
Histoire fantastique, Knatolee!
ReplyDeleteAlas! It's "Detail of a Versailles Urn."
Sssssigh... I was so sure that "Stoned Baguette" was the correct answer, my fellow Canuck. :) But I'm sure the Versailles Urn is equally fabulous.
ReplyDeleteAh it's not a Versailles Urn Claudia.
ReplyDeleteOh Knatolee I wish it was a baguette on acid! You are in pole position for a Sibelius CD though
I'm searching here and there
ReplyDeletein your own little sphere.
I'm going everywhere.
Yet, I'm getting nowhere.
Actually what you ask
is a difficult task.
It's so sad but I'm out.
Poor Mouth I'll do without.
Adieu!
cher vieux.
If you wish, laugh well...
In the trap, I fell!!!
Claudia please don't depair
ReplyDeleteyou still are off but getting there
Look up indoors and you will see
what I took in gay Paris
I saw something similar this morning sitting on the dentist's chair... I normally close my eyes and expect the worst, then I slowly try to have a look while keeping my eyes as closed as possible and that's the way I see the shining lamp.
ReplyDeleteI can assure you that this is above something far more pleasant Mar!
ReplyDeleteUn café au lait, M'sieur?
ReplyDeleteOu peut-être un cognac?
I did have a cafe there Claudia!
ReplyDeletethis is so exciting. i wish i knew what it was :)
ReplyDeleteLa Grande Mosquée de Paris? En tout cas, une mosquée à Paris...
ReplyDeleteAh Claudia it's not the Grande Mosque, beautiful as the building is but it is on the same side of the Seine.. on the South Bank
ReplyDeleteC'est au Jardin des Plantes sur la rive gauche de la Seine.
ReplyDeleteIt's not at the Jardin Dest Plantes but it's not far away a lot closer to teh Grande Mosque
ReplyDeleteEuréka.......Muséum National d'Histoire naturelle.
ReplyDeleteOops I misled you with my last post. It is a museum and it is south of teh Seine but further West
ReplyDeleteI'm in Paris right now. If I fall in la Seine, during the night, it would be a nice way to go.
ReplyDeleteVoir Paris et mourir.....
Douce nuit, mon ami!
I can think of worse ways to go Claudia. And now to bed
ReplyDeleteBon nuit!
Was fished out la Seine at 3 am. That river is very dirty.
ReplyDeleteThe mystery photo was taken at Le Panthéon. I cannot find your post about it. Probably a military sculpture. This is my last effort.
I had fun, Jams. Thanks!
Ernest Borgnine's mouth?
ReplyDeleteOh Claudia it isn't the Pantheon.
ReplyDeleteYegods I would not pay admission to his mouth, never mind that he won an Oscar!
A close up of elephant wrinkles ??
ReplyDeleteHaha Gattina!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the Guggenheim....
ReplyDeleteAh Tor nice go but it is Paris
ReplyDeleteAnneke not the Guggenhei but you are definitely along the right lines.
Part of a Impressionist painting in Le Musée d'Orsay à Paris.
ReplyDeleteYou have such good taste in Arts, Jams. Félicitations!
Hi Jams,
ReplyDeleteI am looking for a place to send a simple comment to you. Hope it's alright to leave it here. Just would like to thank you for stopping by and leaving your comment on my blog.
Best wishes,
Christina WIgren
You're welcome Christine!
ReplyDeleteCLAUDIA CLOSE ENOUGH! Actually it's the roof of the Musee D'Orsay. So a book will be off to you asap
Hip! Hip! Hurrah!
ReplyDeleteBravo! Hourra!
Thanks, Jams.
Fantastic! Oh my, I'd like to thank my father, my mother, my chickens down in the coop, the lady who cut my hair today... waaait, this isn't the Oscars? OOops! Nevermind. But I happen to LOVE Sibelius (I'm not kidding. I have a music degree and I studied classical clarinet for half my life!)
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats to my fellow Canuck who actually got the right answer instead of concocting something delirious! :)
Hurrah! for you too, Knatolee. It's a fantastic tale. Will you get it published? Let me know. I'll buy 100 copies, at least....
ReplyDeleteConfratulations to both of you!
ReplyDeleteDear Bonaparte O'Coonassa in Corkadragha,
ReplyDeleteI am not worthy of this great honour. Celebrating, in advance, The Poor Mouth soon-arrival in my humble abode, I'm lifting my glass many times to your and your not-wife good health. Slàinte! À la vôtre!
Your forever Canuck friend.
Your copy will be en route but I do need your address Claudia. Send it to the email addy in my profile
ReplyDeleteIt makes me think: "Have another Twinkie Sweetheart."
ReplyDeleteIt looks like rolls of flab.
Haha No and I promise never to put up any self portraits either!
ReplyDeleteHey, Claudia is more of a suck-up than I am!! I need to grovel more. Uh, I hoist a chicken in honour of you and your lovely not-wife. How's that?
ReplyDeleteI am honoured knatolee... Please do not hoist the bird up a flagpole though!
ReplyDeletethis was a fun post. i read thru all the guesses by the readers :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it BengBeng. It was fun. I'll do another soon
