[Theme] Death & Decay (warning, contains graphic images!!!)

[Brute]

Two Whale's washed up on the shore a couple day's a part.
The first was a male Sperm whale that was hit by a ship. It was about 40 feet long.
The second a baby Gray whale that they think was either a still born or died shortly after birth. The baby was about 12 feet long.

I like the tonal range in here Kasper
Plus, I've achieved similar results with some of my gardening

Thankyou Paco (and Colin)

Always nice to receive some feedback.

We can draw one conclusion: vegetable decay is more acceptable to humans than animal/human decay.

Make love, not war

Ciao from Massimo

I can explain my preference in these photos Massimo
- I love leaves (any sort)
- I really love them when they turn gold and bronze
- As a gardener, I like using leaves to improve the soil

But I live near open countryside now and the fields are full of pheasants.
Many of them are hopeless at flying across roads, so the roads have been full of roadkill for weeks.

Since this brings Red Kites and Buzzards down, I'm not complaining (though haven't yet been able to find a stopping place to capture these raptors)

I was not complaining, I agree with you on every statement you've made on this subject.

Happy new 2024 from Massimo!
