My Puzzle
As for christmas present from my girlfriend i got 1000 elements Puzzle, just as i wanted, and dreamed for a long time. The time i has spent on assembling the puzzle was very relaxing and filled with satisfaction
Puzzle Description:
* size 68 cm x 47 cm
* 1000 elements
* difficulty medium
* my time to assemble about 30-40 hours
First Step
The first step that i took was sort of the pieces into groups and while doing so finding the frame pieces:
* Sky piecies
* Water pieces
* Rock pieces
* "Green" pieces
* Close to water rocks
The sorting really helps finding the right puzzles. Before you choose the picture you would like to assemble mind that sky and other same color parts of pictures are the hardest part.
Second Step
I have chosen the water pieces first because there weren't so many of them, and they were very easy to recognize where is their right place.
Third Step
Was the coast and the up with all the rock, sand piecies
Fourth Step
The next step were the trees, and all other green
Work is completed
The hardest was of course the almost always totatly blue piecies, the where somewhat darker on the left side and as you assenble to to right the were becoming an little lighter
Picture on the Wall
Second Puzzle is assembled
And here how it looks like on the box:
Puzzle Description:
* size 68 cm x 47 cm
* 1000 elements
* difficulty easy
* my time to assemble about 12-15 hours ( i was doing this with my girlfriend)
First Step
Second Step
Finnal Version

More fun for me and my precious

A friend of mine used to have a jigsaw puzzle in progress laid out on a table and whenever someone came to visit, they'd try and contribute a little bit.
In hindsight, I suppose that's the kind of thing I like about my friends so much. When I move out, I'll go out and buy the largest set I can find. Preferably with a quirky picture on it.

Thanks to all for replys
@Doomforge my brother long ago got one with big dark lokomotive and tried to assemble it but it was to hard form then it was about also 12 years ago. Two parrots  i think that i remeber to see that one... There where not much variety of pictures back in those days 
@Kipshasz Thanks. It is more like an good choice of picture and an assembly system and it is not hard...
@Father 10,000 elements whoa or the pivture is very big or the element are very small. I do it mostly for fun not for competition. I will stay with 1000 and try to move to 1500 Maybe the more i will make i will move to biger ones....The picture was chosen by my girlfriend so she takes all credit..
@Asheera care to post here an picture, even the box would be nice
@Lord_Woock i remember that in primary school, in common room there where many jigsaw puzzles and the ladies there choose one by one of them and assemble them in their free time. I can remember that i had contributed once

I remember that I and my sister always put together the same puzzles over and over again. In the end we lacked a lot of pieces in some of them.

Did it come in a round, metal box resembling a Ferrari stirring wheel?

Bak,I have a puzzle of assambling a red Ferrari,but it's not that one that you'r talking about
Well,about the other puzzles,I like them only when I was a kid,I remember an forest one with 10000 pieces,it took me 2 week to solve it.That with the Ferrari was my favourite,I beat my own reconrd of solving a puzzle,but this one had only 80 pieces 
For 5 years I haven't solve any puzzle,with the new ones I had 6 years ago,it were my last puzzles,but I got bored of them,it wasn't so exciting to solve them like when I was 3-4 years old.
I don't have any puzzle in my house.All of them I borrow to a friend,but he hasn't give me,but well,it's stupid to ask him now because those puzzles were at him from 3 years ago

I don't remember for sure anymore, it was a very long time ago, but I don't think so, nothing like that comes to mind at all.
I remember it being a squared-box though, but of course as I said I'm not sure.

Ah
I've got only one 1000-piece puzzle and it's that one with the red Ferrari in a round metal box... I loved puzzles when I was a kid, but usually limited myself to about 500 pieces. I got kinda bored with bigger ones.

I haven't laid a puzzle in 10 years...
I don't even remember if it was fun.
Meh, buying a puzzle sounds a bit freeky to me
I do like other kinds of puzzles though, like those things where you try to disassemble a cube or something.
Ahh, found a pic of one (the only one I own), it actually looks pretty good too so you can just leave it on a table until someone picks it up and wonders what the hell it is

I can spend hours and hours on a good puzzle. Unfortunately puzzles aren’t healthy for me. I have a tendency to become totally obsessed by them. Last time I laid a puzzle I couldn’t’ eat, sleep or think on anything else for two days. I was a wreck when I finely finished it

We did this with my older sister and when it was finished, it was just soooo beautiful. Funny how it is so boring to build yet still interesting at the same time. There is encouragement in seeing it come together, piece by piece. Anyhow, this is the most beautiful one I have done, it was 4000 pieces if I remember correctly.
