They say earth is the mother of life. So, is death the father of the afterlife?
This post originally started out with pictures of public buildings taken in Olympia and Montsano, but quickly turned to a "gallery of death" as John stated a few moments ago. I find dead things interesting, and usually take photos of them when I can. These are just a few of the dead animals found along the beach in Ocean Shores.
i think life is the story. natural death is no disaster, it is imminent.
striking fotos tyd. thank you for sharing.

Nothing disastrous took place at Ocean Shores. Many gulls live on the shore, thus it would make sense to find one or two dead ones along the way. The crabs make good eating, and are often scattered along the beach in large quantities.

very interesting ... I especially find the black and white ones to be incredibly striking. A great commentary on the cycles of life ...

Great set. I'm one of those people that find dead things distasteful, and don't photograph them (now that I think of it, dead things are one of the only things that I *don't* photograph). I always find the images disturbing. I find it interesting that other people do like to photograph them...and that of course, people like the disturbing nature of the photos. Diversity is good...thanks for making me look at the other side of life...

...and what is the story? The dead things along the beach can only mean something disastrous.
