This is going to bug me now. Anyone care to give a hint?

 

Try to look at the BIG picture.

 

Look at the direction of the diodes...

I can visualize the diode body, just not the 2 lines that make it an led..

 

You can use paint to paint over the hidden areas. It becomes more clear.

 

I had a feeling it had to do with the big picture, but I still couldn't see it until I colored the "special" parts. I looked at the direction of the diodes and I just couldn't see it at first. I see it now--just one arrow showing emitted light, huh?

Thanks guys Good one!

I had to do the same thing. I am getting too old for these visual puzzles...

 

Did you know that there is only one number that has all it's letters in alphabetical order?

Got that one!

 

I used to know 15 years ago. I was born in 1957.

There is always the first number though.

And there is always one that is backwards.

However, I'll bet the one I was thinking of in 1997 is the one.

 

I'm back in my home town of Thetford, Vermont for the Christmas and Holiday season. Been able to enjoy some of the gorgeous views again. You really get to miss them when you live in the city for a while. Thought I'd post a few, just to share with you all.

This is a spot just down the road from me, on the Connecticut River. It's a campground-resort, great place to stay if you want to spend a weekend here:

This here's a common sight around my town. Got the old ranch-style house with the wooden fence out front. Lots of trees, often even great views of the not-so-distant mountains:

Here's a photo of my old high school. Founded in 1819, it's the oldest secondary school in the state:

And finally, a link to a bunch of aerial shots of my old high school and the surrounding towns and villages:

I've really grown to appreciate this place even more, since I moved to the city. I never realized how much I took the small-town atmosphere and gorgeous views for granted until I got back from Boston.

Hope you guys enjoyed the photos. Just another sneak-peak into my personal life

Nice pictures. Are they from this years autumn? You do have snow in the winter, right?

Those photos are a compilation, some from this year, some from last year, and some from even before that. We usually get quite a bit of snow (3-5 feet in a single storm), but we thankfully haven't gotten any yet. Mostly just frost so far.

Show her the pictures It really is a great place. If you want to just spend a relaxing weekend here, I recommend early-to-mid October. That's when the leaves usually start to turn and the sights are just breathtaking. If you're into skiing or snowboarding, we have some spots further up north (not Thetford, but Vermont nonetheless) that are absolutely fantastic. May-August are excellent for boating, as well. We have several nearby lakes and ponds that have nice views. Really, no matter your interest, we've got something for you here

Hahaha, I'm sure If you get here at the right time of the year, you'll see it for yourself!

I'll still claim it's photoshopped....

I love living where I am, but Vermont is really looking to give it a run for the money. How much are houses out there?

It varies widely. Location, views, property size, and house style are all major factors. My home was worth in the ballpark of $197k at the end of 2008. Today, due to the current economy, etc, it's only worth about $160k.

Where are you currently at, if you don't mind me asking?
