Make Your Own Jigsaw Puzzle

The Poor Poet

Another art inspired puzzle is here. In this new one we feature "The Poor Poet" - the best known and most popular painting by German painter Carl Spitzweg. The painting was made in 1839 and had three versions. The alleged first version is privately owned and used to be on loan to the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg. The best known version is now in the Neue Pinakothek, Munich (the one featured in this puzzle). Another version was held in the National Gallery, Berlin. The one featured in this puzzle depicts a poet in his poor attic room. Spitzweg possibly borrowed his title from the drama by August von Kotzebue, The Poor Poet (1812).

Victoria Falls

In today's new puzzle we're visiting one of the world's largest waterfalls. While it is neither the highest nor the widest waterfall in the world, the Victoria Falls are classified as the largest, based on its combined width of 1,708 meters (5,604 ft) and height of 108 meters (354 ft). It is located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe on the Zambezi River. The Victoria Falls are roughly twice the height of North America's Niagara Falls and well over twice the width of its Horseshoe Falls.

Matterhorn Reflected In Stellisee Lake

Today we're going to Switzerland to visit the Stellisee mountain lake near Zermatt in the Valais Alps. Located in a breath taking alpine landscape, this beautiful mountain lake is near the Matterhorn - a mountain of the Alps, on the border between Switzerland and Italy. You can see the large, near-symmetric pyramidal peak reflected in the lake's clear water. The Matterhorn has two distinct summits, situated at either end of a 100-metre-long (330 ft) exposed rocky crest which forms the Italian/Swiss border. The tallest peak is 4,478 meters (14,692 ft) high, making it one of the highest summits in the Alps and Europe. The German name Matterhorn is named for Mattertal and Zermatt (historically Matt "alpine meadow", the prefix zer- is a preposition).

Zebras At The Waterhole

In this new puzzle we feature three zebras dinking at the waterhole on a hot summer day. If you didn't know, zebras inhabit eastern and southern Africa and can be found in a variety of habitats such as savannahs, grasslands, woodlands, shrublands and mountainous areas. There are three extant species: the Grévy's zebra (Equus grevyi), plains zebra (E. quagga) and the mountain zebra (E. zebra). Zebras are easily recognized by their bold black-and-white striping patterns. Striping patterns are unique to an individual.

The Surrender of Breda

This new puzzle is based on La rendición de Breda (English: The Surrender of Breda, also known as Las lanzas – The Lances) - a painting by the Spanish painter Diego Velázquez. The painting was commissioned by Philip IV of Spain between 1630 and 1635 for the palace of Buen Retiro. It depicts a military victory, the 1624 Siege of Breda, during the Eighty Years War (the exchange of the key of Breda from Dutch to Spanish possession).

Front Facade Of Hawa Mahal

In today's puzzle we're visiting Hawa Mahal (English translation: "The Palace of Winds" or "The Palace of Breeze") in Jaipur, India. The palace was built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, the grandson of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh, who was the founder of Jaipur. It is a five-story pyramidal shaped monument. It's facade, featured in this puzzle, is akin to honeycomb with its 953 small windows called Jharokhas decorated with intricate latticework. This architectural feature allows cool air to pass through and and keeps the palaces rooms cool in summer. The original intent of the lattice design was to allow royal ladies to observe everyday life in the street below without being seen.

If you didn't know, a barbecue(or barbeque; informally, BBQ) can refer to the cooking method itself, the meat cooked this way, or to a type of social event featuring this type of cooking.

Barbecuing techniques include smoking, roasting, and grilling.

Beautiful Wild Horse

In today's new puzzle we feature a beautiful wild horse. If you didn't know, the term "wild horse" is also used colloquially in reference to free-roaming herds of feral horses such as the mustang in the United States, the brumby in Australia, and many others. In general, wild horses are grazers that prefer to inhabit open areas, such as steppes and grasslands.

Bow Lake

Today we're on shores of Bow Lake, a small lake in western Alberta, Canada. This beautiful mountain lake is located on the Bow River, in the Canadian Rockies, at an altitude of 1920 m. Water in the lake is meltwater of the Bow Glacier and its turquoise coloring is due to glacial till (unsorted glacial sediment).

Croissant With Strawberries And Cranberries

Today we're treating ourselves to a delicious breakfast. We've go a freshly baked croissant and some tasty strawberries and cranberries. What else do we need? A cup of coffee, tea or milk; what would you add to make it a perfect morning snack? If you didn't know, when making a croissant the dough is layered with butter, rolled and folded several times in succession, then rolled into a thin sheet, in a technique called laminating. Uncooked croissant dough can also be wrapped around any praline, almond paste, or chocolate before it is baked. Croissants have long been a staple of Austrian and French bakeries and patisseries.
