Yikes, spooky but pretty interesting. I always thought that skulls look pretty much alike but you can really see the differences in the facial structures when they are lined up like this.

Very nice camera work here! An extraordinary special image - interesting and a tad macabre ... but then again; it's nature. I like it and dislike it a little at the very same time - it does something odd to the viewer ... :o) ~v~

What a shelving arrangement and so orderly too. The effect of this unusual scene is heightened by the lighting. "V"
