In my puzzle from last week see: https://wp.me/p2BVuC-5fZ
I asked viewers three questions, below are the questions and my ‘correct’ answers:
- There’s no train, but can you spot three distinct rail elements featured in this image.
ANSWERS: The three elements are: 1) the streetcar infrastructure: tracks and wires. 2) SEPTA’s former Pennsylvania Railroad Chestnut Hill Railroad Station (behind the bus). 3) The advertisement on the bus that reads ‘Respect the Train.’
- Do you see what’sWRONG with this photo?
The silver Nissan automobile in the foreground has been double exposed.
- How did I do it?
I was using the Lumix LX7’s HDR (high dynamic range) mode that combines several images in-camera, which exposed differently. Although these exposures are made in rapid succession, the moving car confused the camera’s combination software and resulted in a double exposure.
Thanks to all the viewers who submitted guesses! And congratulations to everyone that guessed correctly!
Sorry if the streetcar wires and tracks are counted as one answer. 🙂

“Respect the Train” seems a very anodyne message. If the intention is to alert road users to the hazards of grade crossings, I’d prefer the directness of the West Australia railway authority in Perth: “Your relatives won’t have to scatter your remains; the train will do it for you”!”
They even had this poster at the station serving Perth’s main cemetery, but there, it had been torn down.
HI Brian,
I got two of the three – not being familiar with the Philadelphia area, i missed the station. I saw it but thought it may be part of the streetcar/bus system.
The automobile? As soon as I read your explanation, it jumped out to me . . . very obvious, but I had tunnel vision, concentrating on what I wanted to see.
