Those girls are way overdressed!Archery can be aesthetically beautiful
Of course. Archery is already aesthetically beautiful, and when performed gracefully by ranks of attractive topless women, well, it begins to approach perfection!

Internet service has been intermittent during my most recent mermaid hunts. But I have I have checked in every now and then, lurking only, just to keep tabs on things. I have nothing much to offer, so I remain mostly silent.
She is the cutest Hauptsturmführer I've ever seen.

There were some alarming arachnids in 8th century England, too!Found another poster from the days when men wore loincloths. This one is from "Erik the Conqueror", which I some how have managed to miss. It's a Viking film that I suspect is lacking in historical accuracy. it is noteworthy however, for being directed by Italian horror maestro Mario Bava. It's also noteworthy that the scene in the poster apparently is in the movie.

I have no idea what's going on here, but it did include the scene on the back of the soundtrack album.

For some reason, the German distributor chose not to include the male/female crux like pose in their poster. Instead, they had two women tied back-to-back.

I'm not sure if that's in the movie, but it is nice image.
The first Viking appearance in England was a trading expedition of 3 ships in Weymouth Bay in Dorset in 789. The first raid was at the abbey on the island of Lindisfarne off Northumberland 8 June 793.There were some alarming arachnids in 8th century England, too!

(though 786, there were no VIkings in England,
no women called Alice, no Dukes ... and probably no virgins either, vestal or otherwise )
Truly enticing images Phlebas! But....alas, my camera gathers dust now and I have not created a 3D image in years. Randy has moved to another part of the world and so at this point I guess I am retired from the world of art. She and I did do a whole lot of other work together but it was in another genre and not really suitable for posting here, nor did I have permission to do so. I do miss working with her for sure.Mermaid hunter only posted twice in the whole of 2018.
Are you still out there? Can I entice you with these? The first one suggests that you are busy!

Alice is from the French Alis or Alais which is from the German Adalheidis (noble natured), also the source of Adelaide. So no, no Saxon girls had that name.
Duke comes from the Latin military rank dux (leader) via the French duc. A Saxon noble below the rank of king would be an ealderman, from which came earl, a title equivalent to duke.
Also, I'm pretty sure you can't scale a castle wall using arrows. And, there were no castles in England until after 1066, anyway.
It looks like - historical absurdities aside - it might be a fun film. i'll have to check it out.

A woven woman's hat, part of the England exhibit at the Quebec City Museum of Civilization (ca. 1920s) - original photographs:

Amazing, the roaring 20s. What sort of woman would have worn that hat?
Maybe someone dangerous, like these ones

A few of the older members may recall, that back in 1975, there was a TV Movie, "The Legend and Lizzie Borden," starring Elizabeth Montgomery ("Bewitched"). In the plot, which assumed Lizzie was guilty, they dealt with the exculpatory evidence that there were no blood stains on her clothes (all of which were accounted for). Given the massive blood splatter, this seemed to prove her innocence. But the writers cleverly to advance the plot (and drive audience titillation) had Lizzie do the murders in the Nude! phlepbas' collection seems further evidence of this (especially #1 )phlebas’s “Lizzie Borden” collection?

Great that you are here MH, you and Randy did a great job with that unforgettable session, that's something wonderful. Your session is one of the inspirations for my works with my wife. Many thanks to you and Randy.Truly enticing images Phlebas! But....alas, my camera gathers dust now and I have not created a 3D image in years.
