Guess what this is a photo of!

Looks a bit like the Houston or Dallas downtown skyline at dusk or sunrise.

 

[phinz]

Nope. I've already done Houston and Dallas.

 

[Bugs]

we need a hint

 

[phinz]

It's not on the North American continent.

 

[TATTRAT]

Is it in the Pacific rim area?

 

[cara]

Frankfurt, Germany...
in one of these towers my brother's working

 

[cara]

*coughcough*
I know phinz didn't tell yet I'm right, but I know, I have seen that skyline a few times in my life, so I feel free to post the next picture.

What is it and where do you find it?

 

[phinz]

I wondered when you'd get it, Cara.

and that's the Eiger in Grindelwald.

 

[cara]

phinz, I had to come online and see the pic... that was the limiting factor

and of course you are right, Eiger, Moench and Jungfrau around Grindelwald, Switzerland.. that is around the corner where my BIL comes from...

 

[phinz]

What is this? What is the profession that uses it, and what for?

 

[Buck]

It looks like a woodcarver's knife.

 

[phinz]

Not a woodcarver's knife.

 

[Anne]

It's that thing on the tip that throws me. Is this knife used to make musical instruments?

 

[phinz]

No, it is not used to make musical instruments.

 

[cara]

I know what it is, but I don't know, if I can describe... I had one myself when I still had my horse...
it's a knife to cut out hooves and it is used by brave and strong horseowners and blacksmiths..
I just used it if something at the rim of the hoof splitted..

I hope you understand waht I wanted to say

 

[phinz]

Yes it is. Your turn Cara.

It's a hoof knife, used by farriers to trim hooves on horses.

 

[Alix]

OK Cara, you're up. If Cara doesn't find something for us by oh say...1200 EST October 21 someone else feel free to post a picture.

 

[cara]

okay... this one was not my idea, Frank suggested...

what is it and where do you find it?

 

[Buck]

Is it something from inside a musical instrument?

 

[expatgirl]

Don't have a clue, Cara, but sure hope that's not what they use during a colonoscopy!!
