Jeez. Not exactly CDC levels of bio containment:

“Work was hazardous and there were three pneumonic and bubonic plague cases among the staff members in 1904 and 1907 resulting in two fatalities”

↑↑ Nice find, Gram!

Almost thought that was real, but then noticed the bottom right.

I don't need to choose yet. Still hanging in there. I want to know what's out there and not be hasty. It amazes me what's out there. Bizarre stuff from both the insanely rich and insanely poor.

OK, I'm stupid: What about the bottom right? I see nothing but the effect of a standard lens..

The angle of the tree is parallel to the house. All other trees are vertical. If you zoom in, the angle of the road and cars in the background looks wrong. Looks like the photo is spliced.

Either that or the house is actually vertical and the trees in the foreground are growing at an angle.

And why do I have to do all the searches, pretty please?

On my phone or computer it's not so easy to search for a picture with no text.

It's San Francisco, with the camera aligned on the road, not the horizontal.

Back in the day guano (bird shit from islands) was a large source of nitrogen fertilizer.
Imagine a voyage on a ship literally full of shit that you make your living.
[edit to add]
Just a possible side-line money maker while taking time off from that tiresome organic chemistry .

Grammatron · Post by **Grammatron** » Wed Nov 11, 2020 10:27 pm

Bruce could use a vacation.

Witness · Post by **Witness** » Wed Nov 11, 2020 11:44 pm

I fear that's fake.

terribly botched sky
reflection of nearby trees in the windowpanes
nothing to support that very long deck
not a ripple in all that "water"
pine (?) trees don't grow with their feet in the water
different version, so it's already manipulated:

But perhaps that was evident?

Witness · Post by **Witness** » Wed Nov 11, 2020 11:46 pm

How about the ghost of a castle?

I just assume it's all fake

↑ Yup, that's the wisest option.

This looks like a job for ed!

He's an expert in rotation.

Oh wait, nevermind. This is reflection, not rotation.

Ed don't know shit about reflection.
