My upstairs puzzle! This beautiful puzzle has been capturing most of my puzzle-time attention. Apologies to my downstairs puzzle, The Circus.
"This miniature of the XVI century school of Bukhara illustrates a classic of Persian literature . The Sultan Sanjar , sheltered by an umbrella symbol of his power returned victorious countries. The space is filled with characters, animals and floral patterns to meet the Persian criteria of beauty and balance " ( translated from PMW website).
I thought this would be quite an easy puzzle so I decided to attempt it without looking at the box. It turned out to be quite the challenge. The colour-line cutting is extensive. Unlike my other PMWs this one did not have a noticeable wavy cut running across and down the puzzle; the person cutting this one took care to incorporate the line cutting in the initial dissecting of the puzzle into four slabs.
I regretted not timing my previous PMW, La Pie, so I recorded my time spent on this one. I find the timing information useful as a guide to determining the difficulty level of each puzzle. I record time spent on puzzles purely for interest, nothing to do with a speed challenge as such. A fast puzzle is not a good puzzle anyway!
Time spent: 21hrs 54mins
Avg. time/piece: 1min 30 secs
The perspective was deliberate ... The central core of the Lanes shopping complex in Carlisle. The building has a full height central atrium, and clerestory glazing lights the three floors of the interior.

I took this shot in Panama City Beach this fall. I love it when the timing of a shot works out just perfectly. Here is a Brown Pelican with a seagull nicely placed behind.

Missy was so good at sniffing out abandoned tennis balls and now it looks as if she passed her skills onto her friend Tasku.
It helps a lot that I can still walk with Tasku and Taivas A forest walk is not the same without a dog to share it with.
These blossoms should have checked the forecast before coming out, its the coldest it has been for 10 years here.

A66 is seen here passing through Clarkefield running as 0097 down light engine to Bendigo Workshops for storage. This railfan favourite was the last holdout of a fleet of four V/Line Passenger owned A Class used for peak hour services to Bacchus Marsh.
This light engine movement had luckily been timetabled a few minutes ahead of a Steamrail Victoria special to Castlemaine, putting it in the viewfinders of plenty of enthusiasts who found themselves trackside for the steam train - including this lost New South Welshman!
Taken at the lakefront in Lincoln Park yesterday during a Strobist meetup with models. This girl was standing on the edge of the concrete wall along Lake Michigan actually waiting for the waves to hit the wall and get a little splash of water but she she didn't expect the lake would be so generous. She got what she came there for. And she had a lot of fun. Me too. Who needs models when you capture moments like this?

I'd been taking a few shots of this butterfly on the buddleja and was delighted to get one just as the butterfly took off and still to have good focus on the butterfly. I claim no credit it was jammy timing.
the southern california timing association (SCTA) has been hosting land speed racing meets at el mirage dry lake in the mojave desert since 1937. racers come from all over california to test their skills, to see who can go the fastest in 1.3 miles from a standing start. the event is full of colorful cars, bikes and characters.

Musicians practice with metronomes to improve their timing.
A metronome is a device that produces an audible beat—a click or other sound—at regular intervals that the user can set in beats per minute (BPM).
The BOSS TU-80 brings super-accurate LCD tuning to musicians with features like a built-in metronome and Accu-Pitch. The metronome has 7 rhythms, 10 beats and an LCD display.
A pair of YN2 GE's start to notch out after clearing the south east wye and roll through South Deshler just as the cloud cleared and let the sun cast some warm morning light on the Autos from Detroit.

Didn't find this easy at all to photograph but it was worth stopping to see. Can't say I'd been here before either but it's just one of those places you have to see. This shot saw the end of a long day of taking photos in Somerset but one I thoroughly enjoyed! Getting the traffic trails was more luck than judgement because timing them coming across was difficult. Some cars would stop for ages at the other end at the toll and others would have their money ready and zoom straight across. The light was difficult too as the sun kept finding gaps in the clouds to upset the exposure but it didn't come out to bad in the end I hope :)
Now, thats called timing. I leave it to you guess what my subject was. But I quite liked the frame. Coincidentally, but the buses have the registration number "343"!
p.s This one took about one hour to capture. Issues with settings, setup, lighting and timing...i'm just a beginner. I thank my brother fahad and sister farah for their help :)
