Really nice shots!

I've heard legends about the tree skulls, never seen one in person though!

Are those trestles still in use?

The trestles are now part of the Creeper Trail that runs along an old rail road bed utilizing the trestles. As for the skull, I was wandering around under trestle number 38 when I spotted it hanging on the tree. I know you all probably think I'm setting these skulls up but honestly I shoot them like I find em. The two trestles are within a hundred yards of each other also. It is a part of the trail that I have not been on before. Thank you for the compliments guys.
 
I believe you about finding the skulls like they are, I've come across a few that had been placed on rocks or stumps over the years. Found a very old Cougar skull hung on a long dead tree once, we removed it for a moment to get a better look at it, and found it was hung on a wrought (square) nail. Been there quite a while!

As far as the trestles go, they just had a look of no longer being maintained, that's why I asked. It's cool to come across old structures like that, and makes for some great scenery shots!
 
Thank you Eric. I'm learning how to change the color scale within the camera to get the overpowering colors toned down. I got 1 quarter put on Saturday. Had to leave the clamps on for ten hours and I took the picture just before I left.

Thank you javlin. I would love to see your shots. Sounds like it's an extremely large cruise and show.

Interesting shot with the clamps, reminded me of Pinhead. Did you have to put heavy duty shocks in to support the weight of all the clamps and vise grips?

Eric, the sad part is the clamps on the panel are probably worth more than the car.

Thank you Ontos. You ought to come on out, we have quite a few bed and breakfast inns here in town. In fact, one of the guys in the camera club runs one. I can see if I can try to maybe get a discount( ) for you but don't hold your breath.8)
 
Thank you Wayne. I was sanding on the Camaro hood today and had a bench sitting beside the area I was working in. It had a few towels piled up on one end of it. Well I'm sanding away and after a while I notice something bobbing back and forth out of the corner of my eye on top of the towels. I stop and take a look and it quit moving. It was a praying mantes. Each time I moved the sanding stick her head would move with the stick. It was quite comical to say the least. I did stop and take a few shots.
