The Impossible Puzzle

So I like puzzles. I used to do them all the time as a little kid. That and read and play make-believe by myself. So, sometimes I like to challenge myself now that I am a little older with more difficult puzzles.

Naturally.

So a Boy and I decided to do a puzzle one night to mix things up instead of the usual movie or TV...etc. The Boy brought two puzzles over, a 3D and a 3ft-er. Naturally I didn't think we would have time to do the 3D puzzle, so I chose the 3ft-er.

And thus our travails began.

See this puzzle didn't have very original pieces, so naturally many pieces could fit (and look valid) in the same spot. To compound our troubles there was a large amount of sky and ambiguous rocky mountain terrain that changed colors so gradually its hard to differentiate.

After three days, we finally succeeded. (And this three days was not straight neither was the puzzle all we did, but still....3 DAYS?!) Almost no words can express how relieved, accomplished, and joyful we felt upon our completion.

So behold. Our puzzle:

Now remember folks: it my not look like much, but the non-uniquely shaped pieces add a real twist.

The Battlefield (and Boy)

Yes, for reals, we are done.
