Today is St George's day. In the 15th century, when St George was painted in the sanctuary of our little romanesque church, today would have been as important a feast day as Christmas. Not so in the modern era.
The mountains & the lake, people & places, children & chickens, frescoes & felines, barbera & books.

Dragons in lakes? Don't be so silly - it would extinguish their fire.
Everyone knows that dragons live in the garage. - Thursday, 23 April, 2009

Ah the age of chivalry, I remember it well.... But yes when I hear all this pseudo-psychological stuff I lament the passing of a good dragon slaying with a nice sharp lance, and I miss coming across any fair maidens to rescue - know any?

What a deep and thoughtful post. I'll likely be dreaming about slaying some dragons tonight and maybe conjuring up some that need to be dealt with in my subconscious...
