Default Picture on MoreGoodFoundation website?

I often visit the http://ldsblogs.com/ MoreGoodFoundation website, and each time I look at the picture on the site I am baffled as to what it is.

Additionally, I personally think it is an ugly picture. In fact, to my perverted mind it has a slightly suggestive shape that, well, okay, I'll just let you decide for yourself.

Having said this, the picture must symbolize something, or they wouldn't use it.

So, does anyone here know what it is?

Do you mean the photograph on that link? My first impression was that it was a cave - but then the stones look carved so it looks more man-made so maybe it's an ancient doorway.

lol elphaba. it certainly does look....suggestive. maybe it's just our dirty minds though?

anyways, after looking, and thinking with my pounding head, i'm thinking maybe it's supposed to be part of Christs tomb? and the part on the left is the rock rolled to the side? i dunno....maybe that's a strech. i'm sick and going back to lay down. but thanks for the giggle el hehe

It looks like there's a wire coming down the side of that bit that could be the rolled away stone.

My dear dear bug!

I miss you!

I think you and Willow are right. But it really needs a better "composition."

LOVE LOVE LOVE

I dont think that's a strech Lby. The empty tomb is exactly what I thought it was, especially because the stone on the left is rounded - the whole stone being rolled away thing. Maybe a replica from a movie or pagent or something with metal encasing to enable rolling? I'm positive that's what it's mean to represent, but I can totally see what you see Elph and it's hilarious. Whoever chose it will be smacking their forehead for sure!

When I first saw it I also thought of the tomb. Then I noticed the shape of the rocks around it and had to laugh.

I don't see anything wrong with the picture.
