One Palmtalk friend told me he was wondering what the pic on my avatar could be:

It is a sculpture of my friend, sculptor and owner of Doranakanda.

A man who can tell all botanic names of the palms we see, and sow and plant... and feed Lord Cobra, talk to the trees, help his neighbors, teach english to the children of the village and work every day for his sculptures.

Milos,

This is any creature who wants to ride an ant, can be grandfather's ghost.

But the old naked man pushing his bike with the ant shouting to him can be a ghost too!

Is it just his style, or is there a cultural significance?

It is just his style, but inspired by the nature and surely his culture too.

He thought that horses, dogs or others animals got enough scuptures, but ants no!
