Almost unrecognisable.

Post by ossie »

Found a block off an old sailing ship today,had several before but this one is very big,down deep in the wet sand took ages to dig but i think was worth it.
Folks on the beach wanted to take it home and thought it looked like from outer space.
Hell of a walk back up hill,recon must weigh quarter hundredweight with all the concretion.
Hopefully also a pic of one on a ship.

Cor, that's very nice.

Looks like a garden gnome designed by Edvard Munch...

Now that I look at it again, you're right. It does look like a Teletubbie. Or a bowling ball. -=+:-P
