30 day photo meme - day 4: history

[pepper]

I'm all about the picspam, lately. The writing part of my brain is otherwise engaged (see icon - damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, why did I think this was a good idea?). So, these are some of the photos from my day at the Edgcote Mediaeval Tournament, back in September.



















If anyone can tell me what these two say, I'd be very grateful Thanks to bopeepsheep, I now know that these say, "There is no lack of courage in a noble heart" and "The Muse will not let perish men who are deserving of glory":





The weather was... interesting.





Srs jousting.



I was rooting for this guy - and he won the tournament. *swoons*




More photos and a slideshow thingy available at my album of the day.

For some reason I'm having html fail atm, so I'm not going to crosspost again until I can check it's okay. I have this dreadful image of it seeming okay on DW and not on LJ, and me being blithely unaware.

ETA: This might as well be part of the 30 day photo meme, too.

1) Awesome pictures!

2) My brain must be firmly in the sewer, because when I looked at that first picture my initial thought was "why is that knight masturbating"

Bwah! *shakes head at you and Trout* What am I getting myself into?

And thanks! :D

Oooh. I especially love that bright brocade on "your" knight, and the picture of the dark sky--ominous!

And I might have had the same initial thought as Aby. For a second.

And now that's what I'm going to see, every time I look at that picture, too. Fandom has warped you both. *g*

Thanks! Yeah, I was cheering for that knight mainly because I thought his whole... outfit? was gorgeous. And the dark armour, and the black horse. So pretty. I think it was a bit deeper red than comes across in the pictures.

IT'S NOT JUST ME!

Belatedly, I must also add, OW. With metal gauntlets?!

Some people have weird kinks.

(or maybe they're lined with fleece or something)
