It always happens to the Newbee I have to admit I have lost something. Have been uploading
a series of 12 abstract spheres. Disaster hits at B a l 004 Blue the sphere has gone Orb on the Internet lost forever. I hope not if any Caedes members would like to help out on this epic journey on the INTERNET to find B a l 004 so that I can upload it into the safe haven that we known as Caedes I would appreciate all or any help. Kind of wondering who will find it first,will it take minutes hours days might be fun maybe not I have no idea. Take care don't get lost out there good hunting.

Well I note that "Dark red" has the description "Bal 005"... so logically the one before it ("sizzel") would be 004. It's not blue though so I guess I am on the wrong track.

Try and guess which Caedes image was the first (of many to come) ... to be downloaded and used as a desktop by me?

Right, some clues might help? Well ...

I have already provided one clue in the above question.


So far, two clues can already be found on this discussion thread.


But, to be truthful ... the clues are not that strong (more like, lukewarm ... however, depending on your perspective ... could be ... very, very hot?).


Everyone ready to start searching the site's nooks and crannies to find that image?

Ready? Yes?

The clock starts ... now ...

Neither of those are it, gentlemen. Nice trys, though, and they are good good images in their own rights.



Well, ok ... perhaps I am being too cryptic in the clue-giving department.

Still, and with that said .... think yous will be exclaiming; 'DoH!!' ... after you finally do clue into my clue-giving paradigm.



You need not go back any farther in this thread, then starting with that of Sam's post of: 2/04/10 4:03

... to pick up on the trail that will solve a major element of this scavenger hunt.



Lots of clues already contained herein, and thus far. Most of which relate to that of the artist of said image.

However, the hunt will still remain even after you solve an element/aspect that I have been hinting at ... that will put you hot onto the trail of the image I first downloaded and used as my desktop from our beloved site.

Fish Eyes.......Alright I might get a rough time on this one but its the first image I ever made so be kind some may say it should have been the last. Others may say it the best and I should have quit while I was ahead. But as I once said if I can crack a smile once in while why not. Some how I keep hearing voices in the background I wonder why............... :o) P.S. I did change the title with this posting as I put this image as wallpaper on a site with a different title a longtime ago so if you come across it some were you will know why I changed the name. What is the original title. Game on.
