"what tangled webs we weave...."
Only deception here tho' is the fact that he's only about 1/2cm across (even with his legs out!) and that's a PicMonkey frame, not my grubby kitchen window! Lol :@)
Description: Comb grave in McManus-Roberts Cemetery, Overton Co., Tenn.
Date: January 2, 2013

Collection name: Richard C. Finch Folk Graves Digital Photograph Collection
Historical note: Comb graves are a type of covered grave that are often called "tent graves." The length of the grave was covered by rocks or other materials that look like the gabled roof or comb of a building. They were popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is conjectured that these graves were covered to protect them from either weather or animals, or perhaps both. While comb graves can be found in other southern states, the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee has the highest concentration of these types of graves.

LOVE the colours of this bit of rusting farm machinery which were enhanced by the gorgeous "golden hour" light and the beautiful landscape

Added some cubes to the corners and made some tumbling blocks that I think I will put in the borders.
It is hard to capture just how high above Comb Wash we are here. All the information I have gathered states that Comb Ridge runs 800-1,000 ft above the wash at its highest points. From what we could see looking north and then south along the ridge, we were about as high as it gets. For scale, look closely at the road below and imagine cars on it. (Where's a car for scale when you want it?)
Real nice comb. Not perfectly straight on the bar, but okay. I love the symmetrical shape of this comb.
This is a Comb-Crested Jacana , They are very small little birds that trot across the lillypads on the billabongs of Kakadu. The father when he has babies will sweep them up and fly away with them if he senses danger. Taken at Yellow Water Billabong Kakadu NT
Vija Celmins' rather large comb on display at LACME. It was taller than me I think. :o)
Mind you - that's not difficult!
