Looks like a halloween decoration, yes? But it's NOT!

We went for a walk today in High Park with the Toronto PAD-dicts. It was really nice to meet up with Jude and CJ, and wander through the fog looking for pretty things to photograph. My favorite picture today is this one. We came upon this long dead raccoon near the pond and my attraction to the morbid was in overdrive. I'm not quite sure Jude was as thrilled as I was!

Sorry but I just thought of a great caption for this, Aestus ... "Say cheese!" This is a really cool photo - much nicer than seeing the real thing! It reminds me a bit of the photos of the Bog People ... this racoon is frozen in time. Almost like an artifact ....

Yikes! Great shot though! Sorry I couldn't come, I moved during the weekend and had tons of stuff to go through.

For a minute, I thought you had caught CJ in fancy dress again......

Very macabre! I think it's a great picture, though hard to look at.

OH YUCK, Gary! I can see why you'd be fascinated really.. the mouth drawn back in death - skin pulling away as it decays. The stench would do me in though..

by the way, you should also seriously consider entering this in the Canon PBASE photo contest. It's a great fit with the current theme of darkness (things frightening and the like). Info is on dpreview forums http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1019&message=10777363)
