Dysartian
A 'Spot the Hippy' Competition - Now Closed See Results Below
A little competition for you. A photo taken on a geology field-trip at Mallaig Harbour in 1974? The photo features three ruffians and cuththroats A, B and C, from left to right. One became a respected journalist, another was a journalist, then a mining consultant and then ran a Turkish restaurant (although he isn't Turkish, he just married a Turkish girl). The third one became an energy company geologist and posts on Flickr as Dysartian. Can you guess which is A, B and C? The final entries are now in and the results are announced below:
You are all very clever and most of you guessed that I was (A) because of course I was the most handsome of the three and my striking resemblence to the Hollywood film-star George Clooney shone through the beard! Didn't it?
Brigitte Chanson, bryanilona, ROMSKI1, AL JC, digitallus, ~Amabile~, Gallery North, katzarella, ian-mcc, agsfp67, and my newest contact Ellen Steiof all got (A) right. Before the cut-off, four people guessed that (A) was Dysartian (when I was only about twelve years old), (B) was the pirate and the respected journalist and (C) was the journo/mining consultant/Turkish restaurateur.
The winners in reverse order were: 4th Prize nushuz (there isn't a fourth prize but never mind!) 3rd prize un-inspired, 2nd prize Scotia and Hamish and first poster and outright winner of the main prize is the clever tricycledteenager. Of course TCT I am willing to change the prize to a tea/coffee and a bacon sarnie at the nearby Dysart Harbourmaster's House Bistro! Just let me know the next time you are photographing beach-rocks in the Dysart area.
By the way the offer to meet at the Harbourmasters House bistro applies to all of you. This is a genuine offer. Despite my similarity to George Clooney, I am no lothario (probably George isn't either). This has been fun, thanks for being good-sports and competing! I hope you all have a prosperous and more importantly a Happy and Healthy New Year !
