WINNER: What Is It Wednesday #69

[Matero]

Hi folks, it's time for new mystery. This time I fear that it is too easy, but can't help, just a quick pick from the top of a stack.

Each member gets one guess (unless no one is even close towards the end). The answer will be revealed on the following Tuesday. The first correct guess has the honour of submitting the image for the next challenge. Sometimes there will be more than one thing in the photo or more than one way to accurately describe what the photo represents. Specificity counts! The original poster (ME!) will be the final judge of who is "most correct".

Doll house?

 

[Susan Sande]

You beat me to it Stephen!! So I'll say doll house - barn!!!

 

[Matero]

Hi, only two wild guesses, and excellent ones. Sorry to say that heavy cropping has led you a little bit sidetrack.

I'm releasing a new, little bit less cropped version tomorrow, on Monday. But still you can win with the original

 

[Luke]

I think it is a full sized barn....with a metal roof and some boxes inside

 

[Matero]

OK then, time to ease a little bit. I hope this is not too obvious already. Different crop from the original to get more, fearless guesses

is it a crane?

 

[jssaraiva]

I also believe it's a crane, but the size and color leads me to a mobile harbour crane.

 

[Steve Noel]

Crane.

Do I get extra points for identifying that there is at least one tadpole style recumbent bike in the photo?

Certainly!

Time to wrap this up. I had unfortunately limited time to prepare this riddle, so it ended up confusing and difficult at first. And then dead easy.

But, we have a winner, 100% right. jssaraiva knew exactly the right answer. It certainly is an old mobile crane from Turku harbour, my old hometown, where I was born. This crane is standing by the river Aura, left after when shipyard moved away from the river. Old shipyard got too tight for large ships those guys are still building nearby closer to open sea, e.g. Liberty of Seas, Independence of the Seas, Allure of the Seas... I could continue forever. The old shipyard is transformed to lofts and other residential areas.

How I miss my hometown...

But jssaraiva, it's your turn now, again

 

[jssaraiva]

Nice! theoldsmithy's guess probably helped Lived most of my life very close to an harbour, that also helped!

Off to search something to post tomorrow.

 

[Susan Sande]

I'm just going to have to move to a harbor or a tow path. Or an airport.
