Great Pics Found By Phlebas And Other

[Frank Petrexa]

There is a "Burning Man" festival (a huge wooden effigy of a man is ignited on the last day, hence the name) in the Nevada desert every year. People regularly mount crosses (which are apparently furnished by organizers or volunteers) in various states of undress. It's apparently somewhat like a New Age agricultural fair. It's hotter than hell, not everything is legal, and glitterati camp out in posher accommodations than the hoi poloi, causing some tension. You can read about it on the Internet. I have never been, and probably never will. I have read that the county sheriff tolerates a lot in the interest of the local economy.
#10 is probably from there. People do seem to have fun.

No woman can now resist to the wonderful feelings of a crucifixion ! I'm sure of that !!!

This one


is very dramatic!

Steamy ...

 

[Loxuru]

Technically highly accomplished, as you say SJ. Great sense of scale and lighting, tense musculature and stoic expressions - that's alienarea

This happens when you enter enemy territory, searching for water,


Or for food,


This is the punishment of the guards who failed to notice them.



The punishment for tourists leaving the indicated trail on a jungle hiking (read the fine print about 'locall rules and habits).


And this is what will happen to tourists throwing litter into the Grand Canyon (hey! Trump never said he would make this rule!).

I did not throw litter in the Grand Canyon any more than I caused the Great Crash of the Summer of 2013!

Oh. Right. That's clear, then.

Steamy ...

I thought it would make a nice racy album cover, potentially for Mungo Jerry.

Do you mean :

"In the summertime when the weather is hot
You can stretch right up..."

Is there anything else you'd like to confess to declare you've never done,
before they even think of accusing you of it?

I never confess ... no matter what they do to me

Have you never, and do you never plan to...

Do you know the source of this pic? It's wonderful, thanks!

That first one you posted is the one I stitched together from other pics posted on that thread. I'd love to see better, more detailed ones, like your 1e304113113f50db7fdff824dd724b8b-jpg
A lot masterpiece.
Sometimes I wonder about all the nude female crux photos that were almost certainly taken in the earlier days of photography, so few are known to us. It's an obvious theme.
Sometimes we just have to imagine those photos ourselves

Makes you think, Phlebas.

I wonder if there was an early version of Cruxforums where your Grandad and Grandad swapped stories and photos courtesy of the good old Royal Mail?

Absolutely. None have come down to me though, sadly

Hang on, what are these in this old box with "From Wragg" on the lid?


The other possibility are artist's studies for crux paintings, but these tend to be male

 

[mp5stab]

That second one is quite the inspiration. Just need to make that a more painful pose!

Early self crux?

I think his wife enjoyed taking the picture


This is probably closer chronologically

That's an excellent image Phlebas, thank you.
I do find panoramic views and sepia tone very inspiring, although they do create rather large files. These two are 50% reductions for thumbnails. Full size elsewhere in the Forum I think, and on http://bobnearled.deviantart.com/
