Wayfarers Riddle (Base)

[Epic]

hil -- I was thinking the same thing, but couldn't see enough to make a word. I'll try adjusting colors/contrast to see if I can extract more

hil -- i just had a new thought... do you think it could be:

music notes?? the power lines could represent sheet music. Of course, I don't know how to read sheet music LOL

[hilpukka]

since the last thought didnt help, lets try that one (dont know how to do it, but maybe google will help )

[Epic]

I'm getting nowhere with the new theory either LOL this sux!

[hilpukka]

oh well, maybe back to the first thought?

[Epic]

I read in the other forum that no googling is necessary. That seems to rule out both of our theories. I'm back to zooming in and out LOL

My eyes hurt!!!! this is getting ridiculous.

[hilpukka]

how can this be so difficult if its all in the pic?

[Epic]

I don't know. LOL I've adjusted color, contrast, sharpness, etc. and think I may be able to see some letters or numbers -- can't really tell what some of them are -- but they don't really make a word or anything.

At this point, I don't know if I'm really seeing anything, or if my eyes are just playing tricks on me

hilpukka -- not sure if you're still here or not, but i just got 18 and am onto 19 now. let me know if you need a nudge for 18

[hilpukka]

there is only one letter i can see, or i think i can see it, lol

hilpukka -- not sure if you're still here or not, but i just got 18 and am onto 19 now. let me know if you need a nudge for 18

GREAT JOB!
And i need a nudge!

[Epic]

ok -- remember my first suggestion for the pic of the flowers with the black spots all over it? Apply that principle here. 3-letter word -- think lowercase!

[hilpukka]

sent you a pm

[Epic]

sent another clue... let me know when you get to 19. I've heard it's a rough one and I'm not getting anywhere on it yet. Supposedly several eggs and a few "red herrings" to throw us off-track

[hilpukka]

sent you another pm
still at 18, lol

[Epic]

replied with another hint for you. Hurry and get to 19... i'm totally lost on this one. Seemed simple at first, but seems to be harder than it appeard.

[hilpukka]

ok, finally to 19

[Epic]

sweet! I know the artist, the name of the pic, the year associated with it, etc. but nothing is working. I've read that the page title bad grammar is intentional and a clue to the answer. I've also read to try things in the painting because they lead to eggs. So far, I've got zip, zilch, nada NOTHING!!!!!!
