Okay, I am obsessed with this show. I'm sorry, but I am! So, I made this wallpaper, just because I was bored. What do you think?
After the lion had been killed by a giraffe kick, it didn't take long for the vultures and other scavengers to have their way.
This, in fact, is the rib cage of the dead lion.

Next to a pub in wapping there is a set of stairs leading down to the river. I took this picture of a bucket of bones on the top step. I assume I hadn't stumbled upon a crime scene. Perhaps someone was picking up things at low tide.
If anybody has any idea what this was all about, let me know.
These are not fossilized bones, but are well preserved. When the indians took what they wanted of the dead bison the sink hole was full of rotting carcasses. Then the scavangers moved in to clean up...the coyotes, wolfs, bears, etc...you wouldn't want to be in this area at that time and not just because of the stench of putrid flesh but because you would be fair game as well.
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)
Scythe and scales. Circle of bone around the skeleton is supposed to represent the womb, therefore the whole thing stands for life and death.
in addition to starting a new job and enduring a slow computer, may i present the third excuse for my lack of posting in early february. that's the little finger on my left hand, and while at first glance the left image may look fairly normal, the right image clearly isn't right. i managed to dislocate it playing volleyball, and despite the photographic evidence to the contrary, it wasn't a particularly painful injury. the ball skimmed the top of my fingers and i figured it was just a sprain until i saw this one was bent back a bit too far. i can't claim that the process of 'popping it back in' didn't hurt though. what i thought would be a 5 second 'click' ended up taking 3 professionals over 10 minutes of tugging, twisting and pulling to get the little bugger back in place. it's a good job i was pumped full of laughing gas i tells ya!
Initially the catacombs were merely a place to put the bone remains, but in the 19th century, Louis-Étienne Héricart de Thury led the transformation from untidy stockpile to decorative mausoleum, which now attracts visitors from around the world.

One of my fondest memories of my grandparents was watching my Grandmother roll the bones to help decide what to do with problems. She was from the Old Country and met my Grandfather on the same boat as they were coming to America. Not only was it fun to hear them speak in German, it was cool all the rituals she did that at the time I didn't understand until when I became involved with the craft. I tried to learn this art but I do not use it all the time. Just like she would read futures in the tea leaves, I prefer tarot cards and runes. This is my own set that I have collected and clean and enlightened myself. I know, you all are probably getting tired of my Pagan themes here!
