Puzzle Description:

Fissure (crack in the earth) and fisher (man with his camp chair and tackle box). And an unidentified observer.

This could be the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. This might not look like the best fishing spot. But actually some of the Southwest's best trout fishing is on the Colorado River, between Glen Canyon Dam and Marble Canyon.

Well, the next one will be a little more challenging to solve. :-)

I think most of these have been very challenging. Great job.

Now that took some quirky imagination. Quite fun.

i have heard the word fissure pronounced both as "fizz-ure"
and "fisher"
has anyone else heard it both ways too?
maybe its just me
nice puzzle

Thanks, bugaboo. Yes, I have heard both pronunciations, and I prefer the first.

Always the second for me.

At first glance I thought the observer was a dog, but now it looks more like a llama. :)

wow - so clever! fun to solve. i have always pronounced it "fi-zhure".

When I go "fiSHing" I bring plenty of beer. So I always catch something, even if it's only a buzz. After that, I end up pronouncing it "fiZHing" :)
