“after supper
she got out her book
and learned me about Moses
and the Bulrushers
and I was in a sweat
to find out all about him;
but by and by
she let it out
that Moses had been dead
a considerable long time;
so then I didn't care no more about him,
because I don't take no stock
in dead people,” says Huck.

“don't you ‘do you mind’ me. I was talking to my husband,” says Mrs. Bignose.

“could you be quiet, please?” says Mr. Gregory.
“what was that?”
“I don't know. I think it was ‘Blessed are the cheese-makers.’”
“ahh, what's so special about the cheese-makers?”
“well, obviously it's not meant to be taken literally,
it refers to any manufacturers of dairy products ... ,” says Mr. Gregory.

I spent countless hours during my younger years watching first "Monty Python" the BBC tv show on PBS, buying their LP's and then never missing a movie. To this day random lines & songs will pop in to my head at odd moments. Spam, spam, spam.....lovely spam!

"Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That parrot is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk."
"Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fjords"
"Pinin' for the fjords?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that? Look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got 'im home?"

Castle Stalker Scotland.
One of many interesting castles to photograph in Scotland.I'm sure they built them all those years ago just for us photographers, as they are perfect for the long exposure. I am always fascinated when I look at this great building, wondering about the life of the people who lived on them. Must have been a hell of a journey to get to the nearest pub.

Created this motion graphic for this week's theme of "Time" on the Moncton Photography Facebook page. With a tip of the (bowler) hat to John Cleese in one of his most iconic roles in Monty Python's Flying Circus - The Ministry of Silly Walks. One of my good friends recently commented that my last animation was "Terry Gilliam Mk II". =)
I bought the Cleese / Ministry of Silly Walks watch some time ago. They are made by the Unemployed Philosopher's Guild.

I found this skull lying outside what appeared to be a badger sett..... A bit strange for badgers to make such a mess, so I thought maybe it was the work of foxes.... but there again, there was only this one piece of bone and no other bits and pieces lying around. The skull itself is a .... well.... I don't know. Maybe a (that's no ordinary) rabbit or hare with the upper parts of the skull broken off, it's hard to tell. Suggestions welcome.
The sun sets over Castle Stalker on Scotland's West Coast.
I took a circuitous route down to the foreshore to get this, stumbling through a steep boggy hill from the cafe which overlooks the castle. When I got to the bottom I spoke to a fellow photographer who had found an access road and parked up right next to the beach! Once I finished I had to gather up my gear and stumble back up the hill, this time with the added excitement of half-light. Still, I think the shot was worth the work, I hope you agree.

Castle Stalker (Scottish Gaelic: Caisteal an Stalcaire) is a four-storey tower house or keep picturesquely set on a tidal islet on Loch Laich, an inlet off Loch Linnhe. It is located about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north east of Port Appin, Argyll, Scotland, and is visible from the A828 road around mid-way between Oban and Glen Coe. The islet is accessible (with difficulty) from the shore at low tide. The name "Stalker" comes from the Gaelic Stalcaire, meaning "hunter" or "falconer", and should therefore be pronounced stal-ker, with the l sounded, not as in the pronunciation of the English word "stocker" and some L-dropping accents' pronunciation of "stalker." In recent times the castle was brought to fame by the Monty Python team, appearing in their film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It also appeared in the film Highlander: Endgame.

Exif data is wrong, BTW. >>>>>>>>>>.
He has left us his shoe. It is a sign. A sign that we must follow!
There is a scene in Life of Brian where a mob chases Brian, convinced he is the Messiah, and he accidentally leaves a shoe behind. The mob sees that as a sign and decides they must follow with a shoe raised on high. It's brilliant silliness but is more significant in that it contains a cameo appearance by comic legend Spike Milligan of The Goons fame.
We're Here looks at The Monty Python Side of Religious Expression today.
Just when you least expect them...
In the early years of the 16th century, to combat the rising tide of religious unorthodoxy, the Pope gave Cardinal Ximinez of Spain leave to move without let or hindrance throughout the land, in a reign of violence, terror and torture that makes a smashing film. This was the Spanish Inquisition...
Watch the original scenes HERE, HERE and THERE.
"Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise... Surprise and fear... Fear and surprise... Our two weapons are fear and surprise... And ruthless efficiency.... Our three weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency... And an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope... And nice red uniforms."

Doune Castle is a late 14th century stronghold near the village of Doune, in the Stirling district of central Scotland. The castle is sited on a wooded bend where the Ardoch Burn flows into the River Teith, across a bridge from the village. It lies 5 miles (8.0 km) north-west of Stirling, where the River Teith flows into the River Forth.
This fine castle is the product of a single building period, and has survived relatively unchanged and complete. It was begun in the late 14th century by the powerful Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany (c.1340–1420), the son of King Robert II of Scotland and Regent of Scotland from 1388 until his death. The castle passed to the crown in 1425, when Albany's son was executed, and was used as a royal hunting lodge and dower house. In the later 16th century, Doune became the property of the Earls of Moray. The castle saw military action during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms and Glencairn's rising in the mid-17th century, and during the Jacobite Risings of the late 17th and 18th centuries. By 1800 the castle was ruined, but restoration works were carried out in the 1880s, prior to its passing into state care in the 20th century. It is now maintained by Historic Scotland.
Due to the high status of its builder, Doune was planned as a courtyard with ranges of buildings on each side, although only the northern and north-western buildings were completed. These comprise a large tower house over the entrance, containing the rooms of the Lord and his family, and a separate tower containing the kitchen and guest rooms. The two are linked by the great hall. The stonework is almost all from the late 14th century, with only minor repairs carried out in the 1580s. The restoration of the 1880s replaced the timber roofs and internal floors, as well as interior fittings.
The British comedy film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, a parody of the legends of King Arthur by the Monty Python team, was filmed on location in Scotland in 1974. Scenes featuring Doune Castle include:[16]
·At the start of the film, King Arthur (Graham Chapman) and Patsy (Terry Gilliam) approach the east wall of Doune Castle and argue with soldiers of the garrison.
·The song and dance routine at "Camelot" was filmed in the Great Hall.
·The servery and kitchen appear as "Castle Anthrax", where Sir Galahad the Chaste (Michael Palin) is chased by seductive girls.
·The wedding disrupted by Sir Lancelot (John Cleese) was filmed in the courtyard and Great Hall.

This is a must have if you've already purchased the "Rabbit of Caerbannog" set. With these two sets king Arthur and his mighty knights can finally defeat the mighty beast of Caerbannog ("What? Behind the rabbit?").
• Includes 2 minifigures: Brother Maynard and a monk
• Includes the holy hand grenade of Antioch, the chest it is stored in, as well as the cart that transports it.
• Includes the Book of Armaments (with emphasis on chapter two, verses nine through twenty-one). Consult the book if you are not certain how the hand grenade works.
Excerpt from the Book of Armaments:
And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths, and carp and anchovies, and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit-bats and large chu... ... And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.

This set allows you to reenact Sir Robin's journey through the dark forest of Ewing, accompanied by his favorite minstrel. Will Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot fight the three-headed knight? Of course not, he avoids the fight by running away while the heads are arguing.
Watch the original scene HERE.
• Includes 4 minifigures with weapons/accessoires: the bravely bold Sir Robin, his servant, his favorite minstrel and the three-headed Knight
• The set also includes a sound brick with two melodies. The first ballad is to be played before Sir Robin's encounter with the three-headed knight. Lyrics:
Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot.
He was not afraid to die, O brave Sir Robin.
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways,
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin!
He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp,
Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken,
To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away
And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin!
His head smashed in and his heart cut out
And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged
And his nostrils raped and his bottom burned off
And his pen—
• The second ballad is to be played after Sir Robin bravely ran away. Lyrics:
Brave Sir Robin ran away, ("No!")
Bravely ran away, away. ("I didn't!")
When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled. ("No!")
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about ("I didn't!")
And gallantly, he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet, ("I never did!")
He beat a very brave retreat, ("All lies!")
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin. ("I never!")

In the spirit of Flickr Fairness (if such a thing ever existed) this shot is offered up to besieged PolPat, whose charming rural image of a log pile near his home in Poland was cut down to size, Monty Python "Lumberjack" fashion, by yours truly.
Now this is offered up as a target for his cutting humour. But whatever happens I still reckon my pile is bigger than his pile ... :-)
For clarification, I should explain I spotted these at a local woodyard in Essex, England.

Come on admit it, you would also create this magnificent silly example of public art if the side of your property had a wall as long as this. Each figure is 2m tall....that'll give you an idea of the scale of this beauty. A comp of 4 images.
Well all good things must come to an end. And sadly this is the final Brownhorse 365. It’s been an incredible journey and I’m in a position now that I could never have imagined, this time last year. My photography has improved drastically; I’ve met some really cool people and have been totally blown away by the response that my 365 has generated.
First off, this is not the last that you have seen from The Brownhorse!!!! So please don’t go thinking that I won’t be doing any self portraits anymore. I plan on doing the 52 week challenge and I have been saving up my theme week ideas (hopefully you remember my mask week and my bread week). So keep your eyes on this space. The idea is that I don’t knacker my self out, and that the ideas should be stronger. So its quality not quantity!!!!! And I really do have some corkers lined up for the theme weeks. Also when I finally get round to it, I’ll be putting my favorite 365s into a book on Blurb, so you can have a little bit of me for yourself.
Now onto contacts. Thank you, thank you, thank you. To anyone who has ever commented or faved or just even looked, you have spurned me on to do greater things, and have truly inspired me. I have the regular band of very cool people that always comment and for them (you all know who you are) I’d love to buy you all a drink and say thanks in person, as I never expected that. The project started out as something for me, and kinda turned into something for lots of people. To be honest I still can’t believe that I get anyone looking. I’d love to be able to comment on all your streams and look at all your fabulous shots, but as you probably have noticed I haven’t been around much, and I’ll get onto that in a moment, and for that I’m truly sorry. The standard of work that you guys put out is incredible, and is constantly an inspiration, and all I can say is keep it up!!!
Now onto the future, you all know that I’m going to do the 52 weeks project and some theme weeks and the odd FANCY DRESS FRIDAY (how could I not). Well the other big news is that, together with some mega talented chaps, we are opening a photography studio and training centre in the heart of Brighton. This is incredibly exciting and will hopefully become a centre point for photography. We will be doing our own shoots as well as hiring out the lovely big space to other photographers and also doing lots of different training courses. I can’t really say too much about it now, but we get the studio in a few weeks, so again watch this space. As I mentioned earlier, I would never imagined when I started, that by the end of my 365 days project, I would be opening a studio with some super talented photographers that I met through flickr and earning a living doing my passion. Life is funny like that.
As the title of my final shot says….‘and now for something completely different’. I hope that you’re all part of this journey too.
Adam (a.k.a. The Brownhorse)
