Is it an ancient guard dog? A horse head? Some other kind of animal? What ever it is, I thought it would make an interesting picture. The Interurban bridge is in the background.

Thanks for the comments.

I'm with Ed. How do you do it? This looks fab! Saved and faved. The colours are soft, relaxing. Great desk top and we can spend time wondering about our subject in the foreground.

Your sharp eye has found this unusual piece. Cindy is right - it does look like a ram's head. Great capture, Jimbob.

It is an Egyptian Sphinx JimboB. It has been missing since the day after time began. There is probably a reward. Remember me when you are the famous discoverer. Good post.

Jim, you have found the lost greyhound of Picasso! Nice work!

It is known that there is an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the product of a deranged imagination.

It's a nice foreground study Jim, with that wonderful bridge in the background. The light is a bit harsh but but it's more than made up for by those lovely golden grasses.

Stand-out capture, Jimbob! It reminds me of a greyhound's face. Superb in details, dof and colours! I'm really enjoying the orange tinted grasses and textures in the wood! Saved + faved.
