It is not uncommon to find ‘interesting’ pieces of driftwood that resemble fantasy creature, such as the ‘Ksarmathaurus’ I posted in April. The image below is of a piece found on the same beach near Agadir in Morocco. I am fairly sure that it is what remains of a decaying palm trunk, but whatever it is I was attracted by the rather gentle, downcast figure it seemed to suggest. It could equally be a devout young lady.

I really love this shot. It’s both moving and intriguing.
Thanks Elena, I share your feelings. I have difficulty in accepting that it was once a tree!
Could it be a Saint Bernard dog?:) With beautiful, large head? 🙂
Could be I suppose – but he looks decidedly undernourished!!
hehehe! 🙂
…. or a mermaid!
Quite a coy mermaid! I’d certainly not thought of that!!
I think mermaids really are coy, the singing siren is just a nasty rumour!!
