What’s The Story Here? UPDATED

Here’s a ‘Guess What!’ with a difference…
Yes, I know it is concrete…
~ ~ ~ ~
But any clue as to what it is, or what the story is?

I’ll write a 500 word guest post for your blog
on the subject of your choice if you get it right!!

Good luck 😀

Here are some of the comments that should give you all the clues you need. I’m not saying what is or isn’t correct, but most of the information you are looking for is there, sort of, well maybe…
Concrete
No trick photography or upside down
A broken path. It’s cracked but quite a thick slab so something really heavy broke it or there was a shift in the ground. An earthquake or the land dried out and the path has moved.
There’s a dip in it so this is a join. Or a collapse where the path/bridge has been undermined and repaired.
It’s a concrete pathway of sorts. So it’s crossing something. Maybe a water channel. Or irrigation. So they are slabs that firm a bridge maybe.
The strip is very narrow so what ever is above and below must be a massive clue.
It is where you used to moor your boat!
The seats of a Roman Amphitheatre after an earthquake…
Has it fallen off something to the ground? Part of a bridge?

Nothing ‘fell’

OK has it moved from one place to another?

Not really, same thing in the same place its always been

No – I think this one has stumped me……
I know it is a path of some sorts damaged by an earthquake or landslide. The stuff underneath the path is very important, but it just looks like a load of concrete slabs. I know you wouldn’t be brave enough to build it which made me think it was high, but maybe it is containing something scary – a crocodile enclosure? Or it could be something to do with boats or Romans!
Been good fun guessing as always but I think we need a few more clues or even the answer……

My comments have become to stretched out. I think it’s a cracked slab in a pavement which happened because the land has changed in some way. Maybe dried out or even earthquake.

Think scale…

Did you build the wall bit before adding the concrete at a later time? In fact was it something you built even? You said the concrete was to cover something, but what I wonder…..?
LikeLike
No I didn’t build it, not that brave. Did I mention it covered something… nope

Oh dear I am imagining things now. When you said that we need to explain the appearance of the concrete I thought it had been added to cover something. OK trying yet another thinking cap…
‘Not that brave’ must be a good clue though.
Off to supermarket – I wonder if someone will have got it by the time I get back.

Is it the top of something? The strip is very narrow so what ever is above and below must be a massive clue. So it’s a roof maybe or a platform above something.

Correct about the above/below bit in terms of clues… but wrong on the answer. Try again 🙂

So it’s a deliberate shape that’s not flat. Two places that meet or the edge of something.
