As you may have read in an earlier post, I shot the dragon from several angles, and chose this natural pose of George and hopefully caught a little of his character. The Dragon is situated on a steep terraced hillside, so this turned out to be what I thought was the best shot. Shooting from below made the house too prominnent. Another aspect is that when you get too close, the dragon kinda turns into a blob of construction foam, and the burner shows up too much. You are right about the wealth of enlightening people. I am constantly amazed at people's stories.
