Kinda creepy.  Almost reminds me of the horse at Bodyworlds 3 :P

BTW if you guys ever get a chance to see a bodyworlds exhibit I STRONGLY recommend you do, I went to it here in houston and it was very interesting

Is that the thing where the guy takes body parts and puts them back together?

No thanks. :)

Exploded bodies, right?  I just doesn't look interesting.  You can see the same thing by opening a book.

No, you cant even come close in a book.  These are plastinated bodies and organs, much better than books

'Mazing what washes up on shore, innit?

:D

This reminds me-  somewhere I have a picture of a piece of driftwood I found with a brick embedded in it; the tree must've picked the brick up as it grew. I would've carried it home, but it was a huge branch bigger than me, and I had no saw with me. What the hell did I do with that picture...?


BTW, Romulus, I really like those horses; not creepy at all unless they start moving...  :-X

...I agree..........looks like a bit of fancy "Photoshopping" to me..........nicely done but photos of real horses covered in bits of driftwood...........could be wrong but seen similar stuff done before.............commoner (sceptic exraordinaire) :P

Visit the Eden project in Cornwall and as you enter to pay, you will pass, if I recall 4 or 5 of these horse driftwood sculptures. No photo editing I assure you, just clever positioning of wood.

Saying that there is always the possibility that they have hired a stunt horse who can stand still all day covered in wood ;D

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Hmmm, I figured the picture showing the two women assembling one of the horses would prove how they were done.... ???

LMAO....I think the one lady that is using the drill might prove there isn't a real horse being used as a template... ;D
