OOh and about old postcards,..... here another one
Hi Arjan,

Thank you for your input!
I am pretty sure you hit the nail right on the head...


P.S. It looks like your old postcard had been removed???
I have added it in my "head" map on my computer when it was still there...

Kind Regards,
Maurice

Hardly the same thing now is it?
Our blades don't come with a photobook of their 'exploits'.

Indeed hardly the same thing, but I was responding to your comment concerning the lunch thing. And butter has to do with lunch, is it not?

Because I deepen a bit in dayak culture, I probably look at different eyes to this image as you do.

Maybe it is better to wait with your lunch after looking at the vikingsword forum?

Regards,
Maurice

No, you are absolutely right Maurice.
I'm not trying to make an issue out of this Maurice. I would hate to offend you in any way.
The image was a bit 'sudden' for me though. I found it a little shocking after the rather nice staged first image.
I'm aware some people collect head-hunter stuff. But even a discussion of Igorot axes is a world away from pictures of severed heads.
IMHO we should link to pictures of a graphic nature rather than put them in threads.
Sorry if that seems sensitive, I see dead people every day at work, that's enough.

Peace my friend.
Gene
