I apologize for the graphic nature of this photo, but it just had to be posted.
No, I did not mutilate him! God only knows what happened.

Thats both disgusting and sad, They could have at least put in deep in the water to feed other fish.

Extremely visual !!! He obviously hadn't been on the beach very long, the eyes are still very fresh & the birds haven't attacked him yet. What lovely thoughts for a Friday am.

Dark & haunting but I do like it.

I had to see your picture after you left me a comment. I was thinking her picture can't be bad, but I so did not expected this. Sad! so sad!

The shells too represent cycles of death an rebirth... no need for apologies its all very natural.

...my dear Tamara, don't fret too much about it, such is life... the poor dude (a shark I presume) met a master of the sea... and he lost !
let me put it another way, he's dead and half eaten, but... he sustained another life....

just think about a nicely packed chicken breast in your super market.... where is it coming from ?..
...but don't even try to imagine the slaughter house.. ( I can assure you, it is much worse... )

cheers

I've been looking at the picture for a good five or six minutes now....... Which means I must like it. Shame about the fish though. I'm glad you posted it.

A bit surreal, wondering if it got snagged in fishing nets at first.

Yes, powerful to see but captivating. Glad you shared it; it's not everyday one gets to see a shark in this state. The truth I prefer this to having it as company in the open ocean. Well documented.
