Oldcroghan Man

  1. What a cool exhibit, although this portion of the bog man is a bit ghoulish to the eye. But very SOOC!

  2. Kind of scary. He seems to be protesting!

  3. That exhibit is quite disturbing! The aggression of the closed fist suggests that he put up quite a fight! Fascinating photo!

  4. I think the energy of that picture can still evoke emotions with us! I felt something which i can't describe, and when i saw Gemma's comment, that was it, disturbing and also scary. I wonder why it is not decomposed!

  5. eerie! I'm glad I wasn't the one to find it; I probably would have dropped it from the shock of seeing it.
