I just read the "hens and chickens" comment, that ran through my mind as well! What a creepy planter it would make!

My guess would be patient dormitories. I could swear I've seen big rooms with similar dividers labeled as such elsewhere on the site (though maybe I'm wrong).

This is a very "death of chidhood" photo. It appears to be an old clown dummy head that had a flocked face and 5 o'clock shadow. Didn't they just state today that universally most kids hate or are afraid of clowns? I bet the square on the forehead was for controls to move the eyebrows.

Um... Jude, photography is art. So, I really don't understand your meaning. As a photographer, I find it a bit insulting.

(Twilight Zone music builds) It looks familiar to me too.....weird-o. Thank you Birdy for the remark about the knife, I thought I was the only one to notice that it looks like the boy had been holding a knife, perhaps to stab the dog with? And doesn't it look like they are sitting in a puddle of pee?
I'm sure Lynn or someone else could have a field day just examining my remark,lol, but seriously, this is one picture with just SO much going on, on so many levels.
And that tail! Looks like a fiddlehead fern or something.

Correct Birdy. As the tendons dry out, the back and neck arch opening the mouth. The expression on its face is very doubtfully the expression of a painful death. Its just the drying process pulling everything into that peculiar shape. Nvusovmots, I agree, interesting to see it dried out in such a moist environment. I guess we must assume it died during a dryer spell.

Which is all totally beside the point. What an excelent photo.
