CASTLE STALKER,where many scenes from Monty Python's "Monty Python and the Holy Grail " were filmed
King Arthur: I am your king.
Peasant Woman: Well, I didn't vote for you.
King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.
Peasant Woman: Well, how'd you become king, then?
[Angelic music plays... ]
King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king.
Dennis the Peasant: Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
Arthur: Be quiet!
Dennis the Peasant: You can't expect to wield supreme power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
Arthur: Shut up
Dennis the Peasant: I mean, if I went around saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!
Arthur: [grabs Dennis] Shut up! Will you shut up?!
Dennis: Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system!
Arthur: [shakes Dennis] Shut up!
Dennis: Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help, help, I'm being repressed!
Arthur: Bloody Peasant!
Dennis: Ooh, what a giveaway!

This is hardly the most original composition of Padley Gorge, but I have included this image as a comparison with my previous image. As I have matured as a photographer I have tried to develop my photography so that I go beyond the most obvious shot. Sometimes it takes me a while to get there and sometimes I never do, as finding the definitive image is the Holy Grail for any landscape photographer.
The fountain on the central market square of the old town in Goslar, Lower Saxony, Germany.
The old city center of Goslar is protected as a UNESCO world heritage site.
One magical afternoon, I found you.
And the rest is history...to see more of my Grail images and read my poetry visit my website at:

When I first saw this, I thought it looked like a chalice, towering over the surrounding sculptures and pagodas like a God. Climbing up on the neighboring stupa to take a few shots was harder than it looks, but here she is. Basking in her glory. 😁
I watched your life blood
Fall into the cup
It didn’t spill over
And it didn’t stop
A constant level of red dismay
A grieving litany I hear in my soul
Right up until this very day
Where the cup wants to take every drop
Bleeding you dry like a husk
Of everything you have got
Is this so that I live with the stain
Of retrospective treachery
But it is not something I have ever forgot
This remembrance is passed down through the ages
Of Grail Keepers, beggared and lost
Forgotten, unknown, paying the cost
Hidden in plain sight sometimes
Until it is our time to move along
We guard an eternal love
That outstrips existence itself
Though it would grant you healing if you asked
The treasure it holds is beyond compare
Containing the teachings of the soul
The movement of your blood
And the story of the universe untold
It never forgets or regrets
And remembers all the reasons
As to why you are loved

What can I say? To me, this image transcends everything. Personally, it is one of my most meaningful and favourite images I have ever taken. If you were to ask me what I believed in, what I thought was precious in this world, I would say that this image represented my world completely, and who I am.
There is a dialogue happening here, with this Cup. There is a presence here, other than me, and the Cup has called it down.
When this happens and I am fortunate enough to witness it, feel it, experience it, I need nothing else.
A Grail Keeper protects and keeps this love safe. A Grail Keeper keeps the Light alive. My Love and Blessings to all.
Taken at Wilmington Church, East Sussex, UK. And yes, this is a photograph, not AI.
Why do I need a fake Grail when reality is like this?
And this is the point, don’t you think. Just believe for once, let joy into your life.
I have paired this with Era’s “The Mass” as this is what this image is, transubstantiation.

Castle Stalker aka ah, the famous "Castle A-a-a-argh" from Monty Python and the Holy Grail! It's a classic moment in comedy history. The castle is humorously named after the last words of the castle's builder, who died while carving the name. This scene is a perfect example of Monty Python's unique blend of absurdity and wit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLjxXa9Izzc
To be fair, the crew of UP ILBG4 has just arrived and turned on the headlights, ready to blast off from their parking spot at Venice, IL, as NS 125 passes overhead. Still, I'll take a non-moving over-under over no over-under.
Holy Friday and what better place to look for the holy grail that the fantastic beach of Adraga.
Additionally, a BIG thanks to Lucroit for sending me the new version of their 100mm Filter Holder.
My first impressions are very positive over the previous model, now it allows me to use the Lee filters without any constraint or limitation.
Another note is the perfect fit of the square neutral density filters and their sponge in the slot's, as well the precious help of the flaps that prevent the entry of side or top light.
Once again, an excellent product by Lucroit !

Yep, the Western Terminus of the Lincoln Highway... the Holy Grail of the trip. However, the trip is only half over. I'm in Winnemucca, NV this morning, on my way up to Nampa, Idaho to visit Allen (Roadsidepictures), then Allen and I will both meet Jess (Phydeaux460) in Boise. I've detailed it in the blog post, so check that out if you're up to it.
I'll be following US-95 up to Nampa, which looks like a pretty lonely stretch of road. ...yet another one. I'm up for it.
Gotta run... breakfast and Idaho (in that order) await! :-)
See today's blog post about the trip.
