Chris, bad things are said when I begin to think and your caption made me ponder.

Your way gives the impression that he died of thirst. But...
If you rotate the "man" 180 degrees, he was a shipwreck survivor that barely made it to dry land.

A good image causes thought. ;)


The things you do for yourself die with you, the things you do for others live forever.
A man's worth should be judged, not when he basks in the sun, but how he faces the storm.

But if he survived he wouldn't have died and become petrified :D

I got this guy when I was out shooting heron's today. Let's just say that this was the best heron I got, and I have a new appreciation for your pain.

nice. The only heron that i can find is the GBH and i can only have so many photos of the same bird. No really it is the exact same bird. I like the picture, wood can make some weird shapes sometimes.


I never, Not once claimed to read your post...

I think it's a novel shot and couldn't have been shot better. If you view that piece of wood from any other angle, It's resemblance to a human form might be lost. IMHO

Thanks guys :)

I've been studying association lately, and I think some of it is spilling out.

Maybe it's his feet that keep washing up on shore around here...
