How many can you identify? Let’s try to get it so that the ‘comment section’ starts with #1, and goes down through to #100. To give others a chance, try to submit an entry no more frequently than every 4th or 5th ‘comment’.  For this one, answers are going live immediately.

Another neat submission by Bilbao! :)
