 on a walk i saw this cicada shell on a burnt out tree trunk .. its winter here now so the shell would have been there for several months ..

of course when i saw it i thought of grunge .. so i took a few shots ..

its not an appealing image so i dont care if the voters like it or not ..

shoot me .. sometimes i do care .. !! .. ;)

WOW I thought this was Larry's, because he loves cicada's. I'm amazed it didn't ribbon, let alone beat me.

The orientation adds to the impact here. Very impactful. Voted earlier; back to comment on a few.

Real gnarly, maybe even kind of metal. Nice dark tones.
