Eric,
Hahahaha the longer I looked at the photo the more convinced I was that the fine male specimen, pictured deep in thought by the water's edge,
bore a striking resemblance to none other than yourself.
That led me to believe that you were the culprit responsible for foisting this fiendish act of photographic torture upon us. Assuming that you were sitting, possibly reclining, beer in hand having a good old chuckle at our feeble attempts to resolve the mystery, I set about dismantling your mischievous ruse.
By this time the all important third clue ( it starts with "R") had been revealed to those still alive on the quest. On checking the User List, I noticed that the all conquering guru, Queen of the Pictorial Puzzles, her Geographic Magnificence, Gillian L was hot on the trail (with about 15 probes, I mean logins active). There was no time to waste. Two EO stubby holders were at risk. A veritable king's ransom.
My opponent had a head start and was rapidly narrowing the field of possibilities. Lateral thought was needed. A diametrically opposed strategy seemed the best way to defeat my vastly more experienced opponent. My first attempt failed. Woe is me. My opponent was rattling off attempt after attempt. I hauled myself off the ground and and threw myself into the fray. Alas, again I was unsuccessful. The unseen opponent was rapidly gaining on me. Was my strategy sound? Yes, I decided. With the last vestiges of strength in my keyboard fingers, I tapped in what I thought would be my last attempt and waited.....
Winner! Winner! Winner! the heralds trumpetted. The rest is history :))))
