Here's a good puzzle to end the day with. See if you can figure out what the image sequence is telling you.

Image 1

Image 2

Image 3

Hints:

1

The first picture has to do with the 24th nickname, though it's not official, or anything.

2

The third image refers to a place - but not a specific place.

    $\begingroup$ @question_asker I just mean that the cliché could be specified with a different middle word, but in the case of the puzzle, I'm requiring a specific one. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ No correct answers as of the time of this posting. Great tries, guys! Some hints: The first picture is less about the arch and more about where that arch can be found. The third picture is something more general - something great. $\endgroup$

The first picture is

The St. Louis Arch, in Missouri, the Show-Me State

The second picture is

Not her, but him

The third picture is

The great outdoors, or simply out

The rebus could be

Show him out (i.e., point a man toward the door, so that he leaves)

My theory:

Overarching his view.

Breakdown:

Overarching: an arch over, his: not a woman, view: a picture of a spectacular vista.

  • $\begingroup$ The song to which you are referring is actually "No Woman, Nuh Cry", which is an address to a woman urging her to not cry. "no, woman: don't cry". $\endgroup$

Is it:

The gateway to no-(wo)man's land

Explanation:

The Arch is sometimes called the gateway to the west.
The second picture was listed as gender unspecific, but was looking for a gender specific answer.
The third picture was hinted at being a simple answer
Possible coincidence, but there's a startrek GATEWAYs book called NO MANS LAND.

Worth a shot.
