“Muckross Lake Bog” in Ireland, photographed by flicker user xm19pg76. Wetlands like these give me a sense of ancient, untouched peace and calmness. I’ve been fascinated with bogs lately, due to their ability to preserve dead bodies. When I saw a picture of the Tollund Man, excavated in Denmark, I was blown away by how life-like he looked. His body, like most bog bodies, looks more like an iron statue than mummified human remains.
