An Athlete Wrestling with a Python
Frederic, Lord Leighton, 1877
This is the earlier of Frederic Leighton’s only two life-size sculptures, both made with the assistance of Thomas Brock. In subject and scale it was intended as a challenge to one of the greatest classical sculptures, The Laocoön, which shows three men being crushed by sea serpents. Frederic Leighton was a pioneer of what became known as the ‘New Sculpture’ movement in Britain. This fresh approach looked back to classical sculpture while focusing on the naturalism of the body through careful modelling of the surface. This coincided with a revival of interest in bronze, the lost wax technique used here allowing for precision in the treatment of form.

Waiting to be returned into the jungle. it was found and captured in the house of one of the staff, we think it was a reticulated python.
My father & brother relocated this beautiful python from a neighbors yard to the forest near vision falls, at Lake Eacham.

I have been to most of the public cliff-dwellings; Gila has the largest cavern I've seen as a single room; it's fracking HUGE!
They say not very many people lived here, and not for very long (+- 30 years). I say BS!, this has the markings of a very ancient place..

We stressed our not-yet-in-production web application with apache benchmark (something like -n 1000 -c 100) at work and .... what the heck :-D
P.S. background pic - this one
Pythons are nonvenomous snakes of the family Pythonidae, found chiefly in Asia, Africa, and Australia, that coil around and suffocate their prey. Pythons often attain lengths of 6 meters (20 feet) or more. They are often found near water and are sometimes semi-aquatic, but can also be found in trees.
