It took me some time and effort, but in the end I decided that this is logically solvable, though it's a long march with some tricky bits, especially in the upper left of the puzzle.

Good image, and lots of hard work for folks who like to work hard.

This is my favorite kind of pbn, one where you have to stop and think and look for a pixel here and a pixel there before you can make progress. Bit by bit, it comes together. Well done!

I couldn't do the upper left corner. I finally guessed. I feel ashamed.
Good puzzle.
#4: Gitte Olesen (granny40) on Dec 14, 2007
I had to guess the upper left corner too, but did it without peeking the solution.
Tricky. Thanks for the puzzle. :o)

Right there with you Nieboo, hanging my head in shame! I checked the comments hoping for a hint, when when I saw that Bionerd and Gitte both had to guess, I just went for the guess.

Very cool looking puzzle and tricky all the way through!

I had to guess too, but didn't look at the solution. Nice image.

well thank Gator it was one off my first puzzle and I wasn't aware of edge puzzle theory at the time I deduce it but not with the theorical knowledge and know-how that we now posses with the help on this website. Glad you like it
