Every so often I’m going to post an image (one taken by myself or family member so will be unique), but crop/edit it in a way that makes it difficult to see what the image really is.
Basically a Blog Comment Game called What is this Picture.
So look at the picture below and take a guess in the comments field as to what you think it might be. I don’t think anyone will get this one :-) and it’s got an interesting story behind it involving the police!!
All I’ve done to obscure it is crop the surrounding material from the image, so you are looking at the center of the picture. there is no other editing or manipulation, this is a picture of something real.
I’ll eventually link the above image to the original (not on the server yet, so no point trying to guess the file name :-)). Since this blog is new will probably keep this running for a month or so or until there are say 10 good guesses (wrong of course, I’m very confident no one will get this one :-)).
Update: well Ray was so close I’ve now uploaded the full picture. Click the image above to see the original image.
It’s a picture of the back of my head after an assault, you can also see a scratch on my ear! To cut a long story short someone attacked me and during the attack he bit the back of my head (no kidding!!).
I’m alright though, because I fought back and might have broken the attackers nose. Comparing a broken nose to a red mark and some swelling on the back my head that only hurt when touched (so no touching it :-)) and which is almost gone less than a week later I think he came off worse (a broken nose can cause all sorts of problems long term :-)).
Police are involved (made a police statement today and injury photos the day after the assault) so with a little luck he’ll be locked up for a little while to contemplate his actions.
It’s a coconut shy, the type you throw balls at as the fair to win prizes.
The red is paint scraped from the balls.
do I win a prize?
Pete
Ok, I know I said wheat on the group. But this one I think is a shag rug, you know like a fakati. I looked at it better.:-)
Hey Pete and Stacey,
I’m happy to say you are both wrong, thanks for the guesses though.
Stacey you’ll find your guess funny when you find what it really is :-) Not heard of that type of rug so looked on Google and no results, suggested flokati rug which has a shag like look I think?
Nice guess Pete, does look like a coconut doesn’t it. That one is also a very funny guess now that I think about it.
Come on I know there aren’t many readers, but make some guesses so I can reveal the full picture :-)
its someones hair with a scrape!!!
Hi Dave, the first impression I got was of someones head. Could be way off the mark but it looks like a kids head that has been scraped in some way.
Don’t suppose I’m even close am I ?
Hey Ray,
WOW I’m impressed you are very close to what it is!
Don’t think anyone can get closer than this, so will upload the full image tomorrow with an explanation as to what happened to that head (yes it’s a head, actually my head!).
David
I knew it… you’ve been beating up those roofers again haven’t you Dave? :-D
Are you psychic Ray?
I honestly didn’t think anyone would get close, the only bit(e) :-) you missed was the detailed cause of the injury (a human bite).
Glad to say it wasn’t the roofers (who we had problems with, nothing violent though, when having some flat roofs replaced) despite the problems with quality they were friendly blokes. The attacker was the boyfriend of a young woman who is a neighbor.
Tell you what I’m getting way to old and unfit for fighting. I managed to pull/strain a muscle whilst defending myself! 10 to 15 years ago I’d have wiped the floor with the guy and not broken into a sweat. He was lucky I only broke his nose.
Nope, ain’t psychic Dave :-) otherwise I’d have spotted it was your head. I’m jealous Dave as you lead a life full of adventure… I can’t remember the last time I was bitten by a neighbour. I will try to sort this!
Take care out there, it’s a dangerous world! :-D
Cheers
Ray
Wow someone bit you! Dave you have to stay away from nutters! Repeat after me stay away from nutters!
Still looks like a rug.:-) But you know that is a rugmaker looking at it. Although at first I thought is was wheat.
Stacey
I will stay away from nutters, I will stay away from nutters!
It’s my real hair, so no rugs in sight :-)
David
Could it be a big bruise under your hair on your head?? Were you doing something naughty???
