I suddenly remembered I had this image kicking about and thought it might be an interesting addition to my two sheep posts. In fact it was taken within 20 yards of where I took the ‘white faced sheep’ shots the other day, but this a couple of years ago. The skull was in the same location at least a couple of years before this was taken too.

ps. It works quite well in black and white too. The tree was deliberately composed in the background to fill space which would have been just a grey space, especially in the black and white version.

Provocative image!
Good and thanks! 🙂
very cool! 🙂
Thanks. I’ve a few shots of the skull. It’s gone now – somebody has probably had it away for an art project or their coven. 😉
im a big fan of your blog! i just nominated you for the One Lovely Blog Award. heres the link: http://orbitaldecay.wordpress.com/2012/06/17/one-lovely-blog-award/. congratulations 🙂
I’m very flattered, you’re very kind and gracious…. but to be honest, I’m not really into that sort of thing. Thanks though! All the best
I’ve two sheep skulls in the garden, Christmas tree baubles just fit the eye sockets perfectly! This may, or may not make me sound a little odd. Not to worry (but it did startle the postman at first!) At school our art teacher often had us drawing and painting skulls, I have an affection for them ever since.
It used to be the tradition for mole catchers to hang their catch on wires at the entrance to farms to show their skill/effectiveness.
Yes, it still happens here.
Such a cool shot!
Thank you!
