Thread: need help finding a photo..

Tweet

I can't find this photo. It's a above ground tomb with a skeleton laying down on it covered by a sheet. I think it's fairly famous.

This one?

ooo..I like that one! but it's another one. I think it's all green or concrete color and it's full size. You can see his feet. and it's outside.

Ah so it's some kind of memorial slab cover?

yeah, I guess you call it that. I'm so confused b/w crypt, tomb, etc. It's a concrete coffin type with a cover on it that has the full size skeleton lying down.

I saw that one, it was in a series of them, in fact there was a naked girl on one. For life of me I can't remember where I saw them but I think it was one this site.

Would it be perhaps the Nelson Monument?



Here's another neat one in Beaune, France:

Here's the info on that stone... it's lovely. I want one like it.

Title: "asleep" carved 1987
Dimensions: 460 mm in height by 2020 mm in length by 800 mm in depth [life-size figure].

I'm going crazy. I spent 4 hours plowing through photos on flickr and google images..still nothing. I know the skeleton is laying flat on his back.

There are fantastic! I'd love to do something like this for the haunt - very macabre!
