Lighthouse, 2025-09-18

Not especially exiting, but still an ok puzzle. As you can see, quite few tabs have some lift, and there are some stains. The pieces were also otherwise quite worn, and I decided to throw this puzzle away. It’s rare to see a puzzle in this condition with no missing pieces.

Unicorn, 2025-04-10

Nice little puzzle, with one extra piece. The bonus monthly challenge for April was about spring, but I don’t seem to have any puzzles with spring images, so I did this instead. In the north, the amount of light varies a lot, from having having very little daylight (or none, if you go further up north) in the winter, to very long days in the summer. When the light increases during spring, this often causes people to become a bit euphoric, which is why I thought this puzzle would fit 🙂

Venice, 2025-01-18

A strangely muted image of Venice, possibly taken very early in the morning. There are almost no people about. I did the sky first, then the houses and most of the bridge. The tables and chairs on the right turned out to be the most difficult part, and I did them last.

Ferrari California, 2024-12-18

Even though I have little interest in cars otherwise, I love puzzling them for some reason. I also like trains and boats, and pretty much any form of transport.

This was a lovely puzzle, and I did it pretty much top to bottom. The red bits turned out to be the most difficult, so I did that last. Two missing pieces, but they’re quite hard to spot, because they’re both mostly black.

The Typewriter, 2024-07-13

Despite the dark and muted colours, this was a really nice puzzle. In a larger piece count, the image would have been too difficult. At the end, I had about 50 all black pieces, and also about 30 black edge pieces, but with great quality pieces and a good mix of piece shapes that wasn’t much of a problem. I did the black edge pieces last.

Star Trek Universe Puzzle Collection 1, 2024-06-23

This is the first in a Clementoni series of four with Star Trek images and VHS-like packaging. The packaging is the same as for the Cult Movies Puzzle Collection, and I previously bought and did two of these (you can see them here and here). Surprisingly, I think l preferred having just one character than the whole cast in the image. Easy and enjoyable!
