What I can say is it's an O, an actual Object. And that object has a strong connection with the hand over. All will be clear (well, mostly) when the answer is revealed. - Anon

This could get tricky... Is this a reconstruction of an event that took place during the handover ceremony? Or are the objects in the photos that actually origin from the ceremonies? I looked at a few pictures from it: There were drapery hanging on stage that look like the one around and below the "board game". My "Niagara Falls". There is some writing I can't figure out, around the center there What I thought were plastic tiles seems to really be an arrangement of some kind of sticks.. they look a little flaky..not sure how well they connect..

Yes it does Kiki! it has everything to do with the hand over of Hong Kong. But what? :-)

Hmm.. no eclipse with a 60mm.. does this have to do with the handover of Hong Kong to China.. July 1, 1997?

Well.. there were both solar and lunar total eclipses in 1997.. is this an inversed lunar one?

Japan eh? Close but no cigar. Kiki and Trav, board game? You loose, I'm afraid. Victor and Melbob, the yolk is on you, not an egg in sight. The clue is on the title, but only just. Mysterie Artiste

I think K2 nailed it...that was exactly my guess from...a logical deduction taking the two images into account. Best Wishes, T

Is this another take on that "Blue Eggs and Ham" theme but without the ham?.. Melbob :-)

Same boardgame as previous image, after landing. What looks like a turquoise plastic ball is in fact.. a turquoise plastic ball?
