I found this in the bucket of a dredge. Views like this hold a strange fascination for me.

I think I'll leave the larger version for someone else to view. I wonder what kind of bird it was?:/

Guerito, If you like these, I have something for ya!

Thanks for your comments! I hope everyone kept their breakfast inside.

There is an artist in Chicago who has mastered the art of bones to perfection. If you want to see really stylish bones, visit Jessica Joslin's exhibition (you need the flash player plugin).

@Janika: What do you have for me, then? Bring it on!

Thanks for your comments! I hope everyone kept their breakfast inside.

I don't have a problem with the carcass at all; I find it fascinating. The way it's hanging upside-down in the photo is more unsettling to me, but after rotating the photo (actually, the whole laptop) I can't find any orientation that looks natural. Has this image been rotated at all?

[guerito]

No rotation, Matthew. The skeleton is lying upside down in one side of the bucket of a dredge and I took the photograph from the other side. I tried to rotate and mirror,. I had the skeleton in every position but neither felt any better. So I posted it as seen.

Thanks, that's what I suspected.

Very interesting. What is that inside it? It looks like remains of a fetus.
