An old favourite of mine, when I first came here I posted that and invited thoughts as to what you'd like to do with me :devil:

It's actually a screen-shot from Alain Robbe-Grillet's Les glissements progressifs du désir.

I thought it looked familiar. Like i said, sorry for any repeats.:oops:

This last one raises an interesting question. I've seen some depictions of the wheel in old art where the condemned is face down. Although face up seems to have been more common, I wonder, which would be worse?
Face up: the condemned is staring into the sun and watching the birds descend to feast on his/her flesh.
Face down: they watch as people pass below, perhaps pleading in vain for mercy.
It should be pointed out that crows and ravens are notorious for going for the eyes first, so face up wouldn't get to watch for very long.

People who were exposed in the wheel high, are now completely broken.

They were broken with iron rod blows, sticks, mallets and anything else that might break some bones.

They should already be out of reality, they do not care about anything else.

They now just want a quick death.

No need to say sorry, no-one should be concerned whether a pic's been posted before,
for me it just brought back pleasing memories of my early days here :)
