This 'snap' was taken by Syyd about a week ago on our travels through the local countryside. If you look to the centre left you will see a skeleton hanging from a wooden gallow. We panicked while taking this as we were in an area that was a little scary to say the least. It was taken from the car window with the lens fully extended in telephoto. To add to the panick, the car stalled. I think we thought we would be shot and possibly be the next victim. It may well be an animal but we are not sure. We didn't stay long enough to find out..LOL Nikon Coolpix 880.

Oh, wow ... (looking for a zoom tool here) What IS that? How positively creepy. I think I'd be compelled to go back and to stay away.... maybe for the same reasons ... Great shot! It's kinda "Blair Witchy". Was this originally a color photo?

I copied the image and zoomed in on it. It looks to me like a deer or similar animal, hanging upside down, part way skinned out.

Thanks all....I never took a damn picture so quick in my entire life.....When the car stalled, I was screaming in the front seat, and it was like a scene out of a movie! I need more than an 88 pontiac gran prix running on only four cylinders LOL. Thanks Wyr, we were going to go back and look again, but I was too scared LOL. Syyd

Stef, Never thought about it.....Hannibal Lechters country retreat, is what we may have stumbled on...seriously I remember from Silence of the lambs the image of that man splayed like a butterfly in that cage thing.... Im too scared to see the new movie. Syyd

well syyd it doesnt worth that we give them dollars for it i do believe that those kind of movies may have bad influence over already twisted umbalance people... I prefere Elien or space scienfictions....there is a less possible instant that a unchimicaly unbalance mind will fall for thinking being a green mushie monster it is to far for brain to make an anologie to put it to reality but thing promotting human power is a known trigger... well that all about that one...still the picture is a good trigger to give the brain all element to build is own movie...lol

Stef, Interestingly enough, I spent the night at a bookstore, looking at pictures of the Alien, reading books featuring the work of H.R. Giger, the artist who created the Alien...I have always, always loved his work...you can view a piece of my own work dedicated to him, at his site: www.giger.com go to the "BioMechanoid" page, click on fan art, and I think Im on page 9. What a shameless plug that was, seriously though, his work is amazing....just amazing. I couldn't agree more. And also prefer sci fi to serial murder. I watched the movie "The Cell" strictly because I wanted to see the art, which was fantastic btw, and I had to hold a blanket over my head and sing to myself during the murder stuff. I am very deeply affected by things of this nature and violence in general. As far as movies repeating themselves upon the human mind, anything of this nature acts like a trigger, since the desensitization of violence in media, that started in the sixties. Well, we could very well write a script and screenplay for what I saw, but I don't think I'd be good at the gory parts! Yours, Syyd

Stef, An after thought, but I wanted to mention I love sci fi too, especially Babylon5. Syyd
