Travis "T-Bone" Turner and Michael Waddell from the popular TV Series the "Bone Collector" is shooting and talking about the new Gamo Bone Collector Edition Air Rifle.
Every now and then life tosses you a bone. I was sitting in Jim's Pizza in Haney finishing my dinner when I saw this bird fly in to a tree just below the restaurant. Some people walked by and it scared the crap out of them because it flew off right in front of them. It landed a bit further away and they stopped and took a picture of it but I did not see where it went so I finished my meal then Iooked for it in the Memorial Park. I couldn't see it until I turned around to leave. There it was right out in the open. I think I spoilt it's dinner plans because after I went and got my camera I saw a small critter run into the garden below the owl. It did pounce on something but missed then flew right back onto it's previous perch. All the while I'm busy taking pictures. Unfortunately I decided to share my find with a woman who walked right by it. She said it made her day but two people staring at it were one too many, it took off for parts unknown.
The bone church is located in Kutna Hora, a few miles outside of Prague, in the Czech Republic. Officially called the Sedlec Ossuary, it is often just referred to as “the bone church” and contains over 40,000 bones arranged to decorate this Roman Catholic Church.
40,000 dead form morbidly fascinating sculptures and artwork; skeletons meticulously fashioned in 1870 by a wood carver. This is Sedlec’s Church; All Saints ossuary in the Czech Republic
Pile upon pile of bones carefully stacked with a hollowed centre

Fourth-year student Nicole Clouston’s 'Prospects and Perils' is an exhibition of sculptural works dealing with society’s current and future relationship to technology and how it alters our understanding of mortality.
"AK-47" and two works-in-progress, "Gun" and "Grenade", are realistic sculptures fabricated from steel and fixed using a tap and die system. The artist’s intent is to make weapons feel dangerous again and to highlight the power dynamic that surrounds them.
Taking inspiration from Greek mythology, Clouston’s "Chimera" sculpture is a creature with the head of a lion, the hind legs of a goat and a snake tail. This term is also used to describe genetically engineered creatures and diseases. The work explores the threats of genetic engineering as the three materials Clouston uses for the head, legs and tail are all breaking down and destroying one another.
In contrast, her works "Feathers" and "Untitled" (deer bones) use organic shapes that contrast with the mechanical nature of the rest of the works in the exhibit, bringing up questions of how technology can define our relationship to nature.

This walk visits the famous limestone caves that lie under the northern crags of Beinn an Fhuarain. They are named after the remains of animal bones discovered here over a hundred years ago. There are three main cave entrances, named badger, reindeer and bone cave as you travel from west to east. The bones of bear, reindeer, lynx, arctic fox and wolves that once roamed this part of the country have all been discovered. More recently the skull of a polar bear has been identifiedIt is the most complete record anywhere in Scotland of animals who lived in the last glacial period (middle and late Devensian). Bones of four humans have also been discovered. Radio-carbon dating puts them at around 4,500 years old.
The Bone Caves are a series of natural caves set into a high limestone cliff called Creag nan Uamh (Crag of the Caves). The caves are named for the large numbers of animal bones found during excavations.
There are four main cave openings in the cliffs, formed before the last ice age by water dissolving limestone in cracks in the surrounding rock. Subsequent glacial action and erosion of the glen by water left the caves hundreds of feet above the valley floor.
There is no indication that the caves were ever used as human habitat, but two separate human burials have been discovered within the caves.
In total, over 1000 pieces of reindeer antler have been found in the Bone Caves, with dates ranging from 47,000 to 8,300 years ago.
One rare find was the skull of a Northern lynx, dated to 1,770 years ago. This is the only Northern lynx ever found in Scotland. Other intriguing remains include a possible polar bear, arctic fox, wolf, and brown bear.
Finds from the caves are kept at the Royal Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. (Above Information Off Google)
Unidentified bone tool from the Aniakchak Archaeology Project. This artifact dates to approximately AD 500. I have no idea as to its function, but it clearly was part of a complex tool.
Found outside Fish Creek park in Calgary - lots of bones washed up on a sandbar left from the recent devastating flood, almost a whole skeleton. Deer? Cow?
Bones were moved from other consecrated cemeteries within the Paris city limits as they filled up. The signs list which cemetery and when.
Materials: Polyurethane Foam + Spackle + Automotive Primer + Spot Putty + Custom Automotive Paint. Entirely hand-crafted.
The assignment was to make a visually-appealing abstract form with qualities that evoked the essence of a bone without actually resembling one. I was inspired by ridge-lines and bulbous connections.
Note the three bones and three moveable joints in the lower jaw assembly of a typical snake. (This is the skull of a Burmese Python, Python molurus bivittatus.) This allows the lower jaw to open widely down and to the side when the snake swallows prey whole. The very thin bone reaching horizontally from the back of the skull to the middle of the three lower jaw bones (the quadrate) is the earbone (columella), which transmits airborne and ground-borne sounds from the side of the head to the inner ear. Contrary to popular belief, snakes can hear airborne sounds, despite having no outer ear openings.

So I don't have any creative titles for these photos. I'll take suggestions.

Pig bones and spot prawn carcasses lay scattered in the forensics experiment basket after recovery to ship, 7 March 2014.

with an arbol chili and peanut sauce with a grilled spot prawn
The first of our offal goods that contrasted rich bone marrow (enhanced meatiness by the peanut sauce) with sweet meaty spot prawn. Loved the touch of heat in this savoury-mildly sweet course, and although I cannot argue that a grilled spot prawn is a gorgeous thing to behold, the added effort to peel then reassemble this finger licking course distracted from it's immediate enjoyment. Of course, most people don't take pictures of their food, so this 10 extra seconds of delay is really my own fault.
I'll be posting different shots of bones for a possible CD cover.
These are found animal bones. No animals have been hurt to make these photos.
So, no one needs to freak out.
Roasted for 20 minutes at 230C.
Added some chopped sweet basil, garlic and lemon zest at the last minute or so.
