A very traditional image that was easy to from top to bottom. The lake, also known as Pragser Wildsee, is located in South Tyrol, Italy, in the Dolomite Alps.

Quite possibly the strangest Christmas puzzle I’ve ever seen. A family of carrots are reading a Chistmas cookbook together.

Here’s a close-up of the reading material:

Lovely image by Aimee Stewart, but it was more difficult than it looks.

The Heye catalogue for 2025 is out, and you can download it here! Looks like it might be an expensive year… There’s a new Funky Zoo puzzle (Desert Habitat), and also a new similar series of a street where the different puzzles fit together. The concept is by Marino Degano, but the puzzles are by different artists. I’m definitely getting the Degano section:

There are some nice new puzzles in the Home series by Norman O’Flynn, and a new puzzle in the Inner Mystic series by Andy Kehoe, and I will probably have to get all of these.
I also like the look of the new series Fly High! by Nathalie Bräutigam:

There are also a few new Zozoville puzzles, and the Wanted series has been resurrected (you are supposed to locate a criminal in the puzzle, missing on the box, of course; I wrote about it here).
All in all a very impressive line-up!
After many years of intensive puzzling, I’ve now eased up a bit, and spent more time watching movies. I still puzzle, and whatever I do put together will end up here eventually.
This is one of the 2024 Heye puzzles by my favourite artist Marino Degano.

No phones allowed in Yogaland:

There’s a very qualified instructor for the cobra pose:

As usual, there’s a puzzle, but I can’t make out which one this time:

Even in Yogaland there are murders, it seems:

There is a performance by Lady Yogaga to look forward to:

Unsurprisingly, I loved this puzzle and all the funny details!
Another older Heye. I was very happy to find this for a reasonable price, and it’s also complete and in good condition. Loved it!

This is an older Heye by Loup, and even though the orchestra is rather difficult, I was again impressed by how each figure has their own unique character. Still, I don’t think I would like to do the 2000-piece version, where there’s a lot more orchestra… I have done the 1000-piece version called Score, where there’s a large scoresheet on top that helps a lot. No photo of that, unfortunately.

Another installment in the excellent series Cult Movies Puzzle Collection by Clementoni. The clothes turned out to be the most difficult part, and the top was the easiest. Happy Halloween!

This was a bit more difficult than I was expecting, but still fun. I really enjoy images with food.

Since painted cakes is one of my all time favourite thing to puzzle, it’s no surprise that I loved this. I also love the Schmidt quality, nowadays it’s every bit as good as Ravensburger, perhaps even better.

I’ve been doing less puzzling lately, this was on the table for well over a week, so there will probably be fewer posts in the near future.
