First of November? What time were you there?
That's a quote! Nice dragon slashing...
Heavenly photo in a gorgeous church! Were the King and Queen married in that church?
I do like St. George. I bet he was a good friend to have back in the day!
I got sidetracked into this favourite British sitcom of mine when I was in fact about to tell you something about Storkyrkan. Anyhow, I'll get another chance before long.
Svenske Floyd: For a couple of hours I guess, this was snapped around 14.08.
Vogon Poet: Dragons beware!
Leif Hagen: Certainly a gorgeous church. Yes, they were in 1976.
Halcyon: That's an interesting topic. What kind of qualities in a person will make him (or her) stay in our memory throughout history?
Thanks all for witnessing this epic duel with us.
Oh gorgeous. Fawlty Towers eh? Lol!
Then you must have heard some music. I was there with the choir of Par Bricole that afternoon!
What an interesting photo an a great quote!

I just think it would be cool to have a friend who slayed dragons. :D

500+ years old, this statue.
cieldequimper: Fawlty Towers has a quote for every conceivable situation in life.
Svenske Floyd: Certainly. My excursion was accompanied - and terminated, in fact - by heavenly music.
Tapirgal: Thanks!
arabesque: Yes, there's a legend. You can read more here.
Halcyon: Super-cool. That should get the conversation going at any cocktail party...
RyanAmPop: Not a word to the dragon!
Again, thanks all.
