No, not the dragon on the end of the lance, but that fair damsel looking on? Wonder if she's playing coconuts, like in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"?

If nothing else, this Victorian interpretation of chivalry seems so antiquated in this day and age of 'Laura Croft'.

Stained glass panel from Gloucester Cathedral. Enjoy.

Here's the adjacent panel, depicting St Michael defeating the devil.

Windows were dedicated 1881.

She is just some anonymous spectator with a very good front row seat at the dragon slaying arena. Probably a season's ticker holder. Looks like she is a St. Georgius groupie from that adoring look on her face. I think he went 37-0-2 that season. There was talk he was corking his lance, but the allegations were never proven.

A good capture of the stained glass image. Wonderful colours and details.

The girl is probably hoping and praying hoping that the dragon survives eh!...Must be related to all wor-lasses...~Chuckles!~

Another nice capture. It looks like a painting on a canvas. I like it, lovely work.

I had to laugh at Wendell's comments.

A very good shot and should do well in the contest.

Dear agent SAS,
You should not be so ready to give your opinions/preferences to any one.
Please accept it as an admonishion from one of the father founders of SOS. LOL
