Ok, all you smart photographer people. There's a local radio competiton going on in my area. Have to use clues (audio, photographic and video) to find an object hidden in town.

This is one of the recent clues. Any idea what it might be a photo of?

I figured this might be a good place to ask, since you probably have a lot of experience taking photos of all sorts of unusual things from unusual angles and probably see the world a different way than I do.

I don't have copyrights to the photo, so here is a link:

It is image 4

I'm also trying to figure out image 14. Bottom of a shoe maybe?

The only one I see that I could really pin the location down was the Boise Public Library in phone #2. That one was most likely pretty easy if you live in Boise.

Yep, got that one, but thank you.

I'm thinking #4 looks like a weld line of some sort, but can't think of what looks like that.

Default Clues...hum

1.
2.
3. Disk Break and rim.
4. Basic concrete
5. Basic two tones
6. Basic High voltage high wires
7. Fire Truck
8. Overpass Guard Rail.
9. Storm Drain (big, under street or highway)
10. 55 Mile Speed zone...aka: highway!
11. Little league baseball or football stands.
12. Clouds...duh.
13. High fashion shoe
14. Storm drain grate.

If I lived there...and I don't, I would think it just off the Hwy, around that so called park. More in the vicinity of the Fire station and ball park. Try locating those area. and then draw an intersecting line. They go where the lines meet...or not!

Oh, don't let the high fashion shoe throw you off. It might have been in the storm drain area!

Thanks for the tips. I was trying to decide if I thought 4 was concrete or metal. I keep going back and forth. It looks like concrete, but it looks like a weld.

You can see the yellow hose so my guess is number 7 is probably a fire engine not a fire truck.

Probably not aliens....but the symmetry of this leads me to believe that it's a skull of some sort.....
Do you happen to have more pictures?

Item #4 looks like corrugated tin from the inside of a barn or a garage.
