Sam's Point, Eufaula lake...Lack of rain and the resulting low water levels exposed these "skeletons" where the South Canadian River runs into Eufaula Lake. The light was great so I was scrambling around trying to find a decent composition. Seems like I do lots of scrambling around hunting for comps when the light gets good, almost none of my shots are pre-planned. I usually just shoot what I can find where I am at the time. Thanks for taking the time to look and have a great week!!!

2nd November 2022 sees the celebration of El Día de los Muertos which originated in Mexico.
This festival, in its embrace of death, celebrates life: skeletons dance and sing; flowers, fruit and candy decorate altars; the morbid side of death is lost under music and remembrances.
This papier mâché skeleton was made in Mexico City by the Linares family in 1992 for the St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art in Glasgow.
We saw the skeleton in the museum on a visit to Clare in 2010 and I'm very glad I had already got into the habit of photographing information panels as I should never have remembered everything for 10+ years!
I liked the colourful life-forms bursting out from the skeleton.

Often seen in artwork, the fish skeleton is associated with the water element in many cultures because water is often seen as a source of life and nourishment.

It's from a fin sei whale. In the possession of the city of Lyon since 1878, this skeleton comes from a specimen washed up on the Corsican coast. It weighs a whopping 1,200kg (2.646lb) and is 17.75m (58.23ft) long. This suggests the animal's gigantic size when alive, with an estimated weight of 35t (38.58 US ton) and a length of 18.25m (59.88ft).

Un squelette impressionnant
C'est celui d'un rorqual commun boréal. En possession de la ville de Lyon depuis 1878, ce squelette provient d'un spécimen échoué sur les côtes corses. Il pèse la bagatelle de 1200kg (!) et fait 17,75m de long. Ceci laisse présager du gigantisme de l'animal lorsqu'il était vivant, avec un poids estimé de 35t, et une longueur de 18,25m.

Deep in the desert, in a place with perhaps no name, there are some mountains that border the national park in Namibia. As you drive through the park, a man laying down made of stone greets you in a comical display of humor, art, and desolation. Finding these types of places is something special because in a way, they become yours. A part of your memories, and DNA.
Why don't skeletons like parties? Because they have no body to dance with..
These people have a lot of Skeletons in their closet. 😁
Have a great day. Best viewed large. 😈
On our second morning in Sossusvlei, we decided to visit Deadvlei again, especially as we hadn't climbed the 380 m high Big Daddy Dune on our first visit. So we got up early again and were the second car in the queue waiting for the park gates to open. This time, however, we already knew the road and so I drove a little faster. The car in front of us turned left at Dune 45, which they probably climbed for sunrise, but we continued on to the parking lot at the beginning of the section with deep sand. We were the first to get there and we thought they will be probably waiting for others so they can fill up the shuttle, but luckily I was wrong. As soon as I opened the door, I heard the same shuttle driver as the day before: “Come on guys, let's go, get on the shuttle so we can make it for sunrise!” Hoping for an even better sunrise than the day before, we again decided not to drive ourselves and risk getting stuck. And let me tell you: it was really worth it. Not only were we the first at Deadvlei, but when we hiked over the small dune in front of it, we saw something we never expected to see in such a place: Mist!
To put this into perspective: This place is so dry and there is so little moisture that these tree skeletons haven't decayed in about 900 years (according to the information board there)! After our trip, I took another look at Andy Mumford's incredible Namibia portfolio page, where he writes that mist is “incredibly rare and happens maybe once in a decade”. Well, I would say that visiting this location a second time has definitely payed off. But as we all know, mist can dissipate in the blink of an eye, especially when the sun is already illuminating parts of the surrounding landscape, which in this case was the dune on the right-hand side of this composition. We therefore really hurried, and my girlfriend was pretty mad because she thought we might get only a picture or two before the fog disappears, but as it turned out, the fog was drifting around for almost half an hour. We couldn’t be more happy, not only that we got the chance to visit this amazing location, but also that we saw it in such rare conditions.
After the fog had cleared, we finally climbed Big Daddy, but since we couldn’t bring anything back to the car, we had to carry our backpacks, tripods and a large bottle of water. As we were already in the dried-up river pan and didn't want to hike all the way back to the flatter ascent over the crest of the neighboring dune, we decided to hike up the side of this dune. And let me tell you, this was not a good decision. With every step you take, you push the sand under your feet down the slope, which causes you to slide back at least half of each step. With plenty of breaks, we made it to the crest of this dune, but still had quite a way to go before we reached the top of Big Daddy, where we enjoyed the breathtaking view before running down its flank back into Deadvlei. Once we arrived at the bottom, we first got rid of the sand in our shoes (some of which is still in my hiking boots today as it got into the inside of the shoe), drank the last of our water and were glad when we got back to our car, not only because it was really hot (even though it was winter), but also because we were really exhausted from the Big Daddy hike. You may not be surprised to hear that there will be a few more images from this morning, but until then I hope you like this one!
