Very creepy! It looks to me like a cross from a turkey... and a very long turtle - maybe just my imagination. Wonderful shot

Great it stimulates your imagination so much.
One more thing: you may be interested to know that I have three galleries on dA, with different purposes. Feel free to take a look at the other two, too:

It most certainly is odd. I did choose for the oddest of them!

Very interesting subject. The lighting in this is great. Did you use the flash?

Once again many thanks for the info about this mushroom! I am very glad you could help. I realized that this was a pretty common mushroom, but was intrigued by its particular form.

Het lijkt wel een beeldhouwwerk! 2 figuren op een paard. De voorste met z'n arm omhoog. Prachtig!
Ik denk alleen niet dat het een goed teken is dat deze paddestoel aan de boom zit, ik zie ook allemaal kleine zwarte paddestoeltjes, en die zaten ook op de dode bomen in het bos bij Odoorn.

Bedankt voor het uitvoerige kommentaar. Het is inderdaad een dode boom, die nu wordt verteerd. Overigens is het grappig hoe wij allemaal iets verschillends zien: ik zie eerder een soort kreeft die de boom omhoog kruipt ...

Leuk is dat, al die verschillende interpreteringen.
