Caption This for 10/03/14

I examined each individual pixel and couldn't find anything unusual or amusing. However, if you stand back a few feet, it looks like lassie with a cigar.

Yep, every pixel looks fine to me too. Not a single amusing pixel to be seen.

I see a puppy....? :/

Brick wall paper.

Camouflaged pipe?

Entrance to the Soilent Green factory?

Look at the sign on the left. It's a mural on the wall and if you try to walk through the "doors", you go to a real hospital with a concussion!

That would explain the painted look over that pipe or whatever as well as the inward opening interior doors.

Would have been a lot better with a larger picture.

Only reason I did not think it was a painting was the saturated lighting at the end of the hall. It is very bright - much brighter than any other artifact in the whole picture/room, which leads me to believe that the bright area at the end of the hall too bright and white to simply be a part of a mural.

The brightest you could get is a gloss white surface and then you would need a lot of ambient light in the room to give enough reflection to yield that much dynamic range.

"saturated lighting at the end of the hall." Good point.

I'll add a question about the trash cans or planters on either side of the doorway. Also, look at the hinge end of each of the doors, see the smears of dirt from air flowing through when the doors are closed. Who goes through that kind of detail when painting a mural? And if it's a lithographed mural, I have to ask why that image? Wouldn't you pose a doctor or nurse looking outward with maybe a welcoming smile?

I don't see how the camouflaged pipe fits into it either. If I was going to paint a mural, I'd try to make it fit as a pipe, not try to camouflage it.

I'm really not convinced it's a mural.

From my perspective, (subjective to critique); the end of the hallway where it seems to open up into what may be an atrium with full natural daytime lighting from a higher glass canopy (as suggested by the foliage in the stepped garden on the far end right side). This may be a reception area, or a retreat for patients to connect back to nature, as is the case in my local hospital. As suggested by tommm in post #9.

Rixter was right. It is a mural. Hold down the Ctrl key + Scroll the Mouse button to see the entire photo:

Doesn't work on either of my browsers. I call foul! ;-)

The CT photo is still too low-resolution to make out the details to confirm 'mural.'

The photo cropping is also not helping, it should have included the real floor in front of the supposed mural so a close look would reveal the line of the floor/wall edge.

This facility was designed by Gary Larson.

It does seem to be an entrance to a hospital via an atrium or connecting hallway from another building that might contain doctor's offices or a clinic. The only person visible is a woman (nurse?) wearing hospital scrubs with a white smock over them. The column to the right of the entry has a wooden base that seems to be made by a cabinet maker suggesting it is indoors. The pipe on the left is interesting as it is painted to blend with the bricks. It seems the right size for a drain pipe.

After all that, I fail to see much comedy in the picture or as my late pappy would say, "Ain't funny McGee!"

Anyone posting such small images should learn how to make them as large as possible. Its really simple to do...

Or stop posting completely!!

I copied and pasted it into Microsoft word and was able to enlarge it there. The image is not sharp, but it was easier to see detail.

So it's a trompe loeil so good and so small we cant see it... Brilliant.

I'll go work on a bow.

On the plus side it's not morally objectionable this time (as far as we can see)

The brick on the arch and the left side was not done right.

When I was 18 years old, There was a establishment that I ventured to (often enough). They usually had a band playing there on weekends.

Anyways, I was there and I looked and saw, wow, this place is bigger then it looks from the outside, it even has a back room, I never noticed that before... I'm going to check it out, after I get my refreshment.

So, as I was waiting, I was looking across the room at it to see what's in the back room, it seems to have another bar, that was filled with people.

And at that moment I then saw someone walk into the doorway and was laid out flat on his back.

Here is was a framed full sized mirror to look like an entranceway. Needless to say, it was quite an entertainment piece that night. Especially after the crowd had a few.

I'll admit the "stealth" paint job on the pipe is not the greatest! I've seen better cell antennas paint jobs. But, I really don't see a directional exit sign, which should be visible.

However, I want to know who put the damn trash can on the bench! This is going to irk me all day! I know, I know guys....I Google it first!

If you hold down the control key and scroll the mouse button you can increase the image size and the resolution seems to hold pretty good.

Is that the bottom of an EXIT sign at the very top of the image?

_{(On my pc, control + scroll makes the text bigger, but not the image.)}

Looks like another directional EXIT sign at the hallway intersection inside.

That was funny Usbport.

Obviously NOT an emergency entrance - doors are for exiting - other than that....????

That is odd, my Control+Scroll zooms everything.

M C Escher LIVES ON ...and is designing hospitals!

He's looked everywhere to find what's wrong with the hospital photo...

Wait a minute - is this like the TARDIS? This building looks about 12 feet deep from the outside, but when the doors are opened.....

The Obamacare outpatient shuffle.

Get to the end of the hall and you're back outside on the sidewalk. The doctor will see you now.

Red pill or blue pill?

Entrance to hospital Psychiatric Ward.

The only good thing about this post, is I learned about the ctrl+scroll withing CR4.

Otherwise it was a waste...

Did you already know about ctrl + and ctrl -?

"To Hospital" from where? The IRS office? Sushi bar? House of Ill Repute?

Is this a trap for Wile E. Coyote?

We see a chameleon pipe on the left of the bricked arch, this pipe extends into the dustbin placed there. On the right, stored in battery, is an empty spare bin. There is something flat-ish located at the top inside of the brickwork arch, also with a noble attempt at camouflage.

I would say this is a Rube Goldberg solution to a water intrusion problem.

Ceiling leaks water (we hope it's water). flat-ish element at the ceiling of the arch catches the water, directs the water to the pipe, goes down to the repurposed dustbin where it awaits building maintenance to dump. The can-in-battery is a safeguard against an unexpected torrential rain and subsequent torrential inflow.

'Owzat?

I see somebody finally spotted my bio-experimental cross between an anaconda, and a chameleon. I thought I would NEVER see that thing again!

Harry Potter: "Excuse me, Is this the way to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Infirmary."

Try control + and control - to bring it back. You can hit + as many times as you want.

XP with Chrome.

Supervisor to nurse "I told you to fix the drip of the patient and not the drip at the entrance."

It's an NDE (near death experience)--there's light at the end of the tunnel.

The reflection on the shiny hallway floor doesn't seem to match the overhead ceiling lighting. Seems more like a reflection of rows of f96 double tube fluorescents end to end, not the (looks like to me) three pot lights. As well there are yellow spot reflections on the same floor that don't seem to match with what appears overhead???

That light is probably coming from a lot of windows on the right, behind what looks to be a planter of some sort.

Hey all you guys and gals out there: This is just like a whole bunch of us CR4s attending to an RSVP invitation to visit the Louvre in France and taking a guided tour along with all the worldly art experts, and then at one particular, undiphurable work from an anonymous and obscure, obtuse artst, they beg, asking for OUR privileged opinions, and subjective critiques on on the masterpiece(s) of the art world presented before us. I'm using too many big words today, that I don't fully understand, on this thead that I don't fully understand, and I think I'm getting a headache. I'll stop now and have another beers.;-)

I must say after i used the magnifying glass i still could nit see much other than the obvious. this reminds me of a Highlights "find the hidden object's" section. Still love those to this day when i bring the grand baby tot he doctors offices.

So.....

1. painted pipe

2. weird brick lay out over the door.

3. podiums on left and right not symmetrical.

4. weird soffet - bench on the right with the main column coming out of it.

5. picture too small.

Am I the only one that sees an inverted face of Elvis in the floor reflection? Left of center, starting from the hallway on left.

Did you know that if you repeat the word 'Gullible' real fast, it sounds like you are saying 'Orange'?

I hope you are not mocking me. I am, after all, a warm, sensitive human being.

As depicted by the flames in your avatar.

''Bit of a kink in the perspective lines of the floor, me-thinks...''

That ain't nothing. You should see the kink in AH. :)

Well, I am not bent out of shape about it. ;-)

All this to catch a drip? Guess it works, it caught me.

concealed mp5 not too bad

That is not just a pipe painted to blend in with the brick pattern. It the feared Brick Backed Boa Constrictor. They lurk in hospital archways waiting for unwary patients to pass underneath, then they drop on them and wrap themselves around their bank accounts.
