Creepy: Weekly Photo Challenge

There’d been storms and heavy rain all week; the river was in flood.  And then, one evening just as the storm headed off to the east, the setting sun suddenly emerged below the cloud.  The light on the horse-chestnut trees, framed by the receding storm skies was truly… well, creepy.

The banks of the Canal du Nivernais on the descent from the summit are populated by a group of artists.  This exhibit was quite disturbing – almost a ‘bonfire of childhood’.

If, like me, you can’t think of bats without imagining them flying at you and getting tangled in your hair, you may find this gallery of flying foxes a bit too much to bear.

I think it’s something about the way the almost-human way the legs hang, but I can’t look at this suspended wet-suit without imagining all sorts of possibilities if I were to get too close to it.  😦
