Meeting Oscar Photo

Photographer’s Note

We were passing a neighbour's house (who we didn't know) and spotted this in the front seat of her car.

She came out to walk the dog and explained that the skeleton's name was Oscar. She also had a mounted boar's head in the back seat. She said she liked quirky things, but her dogs kept gnawing at the skeleton & the head so she had to keep them in the car.

Ah well - it's a funny old world.

It was a dull day and snowing gently to add to the scene!

I had this down as places, but decided people is more appropriate - do you agree?

Hello Alastair,
Definitely an improvement on furry dice and nodding dogs! One car looks very much like another to me so a bit of creative 'customisation' is a step in the right direction - and you have captured Oscar's lovely smile perfectly.
Daily life ? ....in East Lothian perhaps!! :-)
All the best for 2009.....Maggie

WOW!
Original Shot!

Il riflesso della tua immagine sul finestrino dell'auto, sembra essere lo spirito del defunto alla guida dell'auto, di cui ne è rimasto solo lo scheletro ;-))

Compliments!
Francesco

Hi Alastair,
Maybe this is a very good method to keep the meter maids away, don´t think any of those would dare to go near this car... A funny picture all the same!
Best regards
Gunnar
