Tribalistic Skulls

Scott Middlehurst is doing a impressive job of representing old and new techniques of skull art.  The first is an ornate wood carving, an art form as old as humans; the second is a digital image, a media as new as a few seconds ago on the scale of the history of the Earth and the Cosmos.  Both share equal qualities of grace and toughness yet seem to span millennia in their delivery.  Thanks for sharing both of them, Scott!

Paul Lane is a BIG skull hunter.  He's made use of satellite imagery to  bring us today's submission.  He sent this screen capture and this note, " Just heard you discussing your skull project on Radio National Australia.  This is one of my favourite skulls in the landscape.  Unfortunately the chin has changed and lost clarity since I first found it but you can still pick out the skull shape.  It is about 1km north of Augusta in SW Western Australia."

It's amazing to see what we can find on our planet using the satellite imagery that is available today. I'm glad Paul kept us in mind when he made his discovery. Maybe you've seen one, too? Be sure to submit it to us if you do. Thanks for sharing your skull, Paul!
