    FIRSTLY

    I AM NOT ACTING INNOCENT
    NOBODY IS INNOCENT… AND THATS JUST THE POINT:

    ACTIONS LIKE THESE DO NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THE GREATER GOOD WHICH WE ALL CRAVE .
    AND YOU ALL WILL AGREE THAT ALL IT GOES IS DEFILE THE THOUGHTS AND MAKE US MUCH LESS INNOCENT.
    If you guys don’t get it just look at the COMMENTS.

    SOMEBODY SUGGESTED THAT ITS JUST A PLANT AND THOSE OF US WITH THE LESS “INNOCENT” MINDS WILL DERIVE WHATEVER WE WANT FROM IT.

    BUT NOTE THE TITLE OF THE PICTURE

    GOD BLESS TO ALL

    may i say that this is disgusting and despicable.

    and then we talk about how the society is getting worse

    we are the ones making it worse

    we want to partake of such ludity and then remove ourselves from the consequences

    a posting of such distastefulness is just symptomatic of this new wave of selfish liscensiousness that is sweeping our country.

    images such as these speak of a people with a decreasing sense of moral compas and an increasing depravity of conscience… and then we go out there and brag of how Christian we are.

    DISGUSTING!!!

    It cannot be denied that 20 years ago, when we were a better people, this type of image (for its intended purpose) would not be tolerated on the public platform..

    Indeed it is evident that we are getting worse and worse as a society because we are tolerating more and more of the nonesense that we did not before.

      what is disgusting about this pic???? its a natural plant. if u wan to say n e thing u could say the title could have read.. “what does this look like” and then leave it up to dirtly minded ppl to say it looks like a penis..
      if i ask my innocent child what is that he will say a cactus, because he have seen plants like this and will put no sexual conotation to th pic. if n e thing is disghusting its ur mind. get it out of the gutter and enjoy the pic.

      n e ways elton u on a roll continue taking and sharing great pics.

      C Bruce. Don’t be so hypocritical. There are so many things all around us that have a phallic shape . We even have a mushroom growing here in the Nature Isle with a shape that is even more penis-like than this spiny cactus. So, get out (or go borrow) your camera and add something to PHOTO OF THE DAY and stop posting up such “distasteful and dispicable” commments on DNO.

      Great shot, Elton. The timing in terms of the nice soft lighting was also excellent. And I am glad you chose to bring out one of the unusual NATURAL things around us. Thre are tree unusual roots that could b posted up here too. And the guys on the tram even make reference to two trees that seem to be “in the act”.

      C bruce

      I can understand your point. If I was in charge, maybe I would not permit that one either, to avoid offending others. But try to look at it as a plant okay? Yes it does look too gross! And you have the right to express your sentiments. I am not holding it against you.

      You know what? In Toronto there are two building structures right besides each other. One is called the CN Tower and the other one is called the Sky Dome. The Sky Dome is built with an opening mechanics, as it lies below the CN Tower which stands erect, way up into the sky. But that is nature.

      I am helping you to understand that God created everything “male and female” And so it is in the mind of mankind, who was also created to dominate. What can we do?

      I admit that the headline first caught my eye.

      But seriously its just a plant. Show your sense of humour. Life is to short to stress out over silly things.

      To Mr Letang – I always admire your pics, keep up the good work.
