The photo of the green hill of Glastonbury Tor is beautiful - and King Arthur's saga always casts a spell on me.

I'd always assumed (as a kid) that King Arthur existed and therefore Avalon must have existed as well - I kind of still do. Maybe this is the place. If looks were all, it would be.

Burne-Jones began painting it when he was 49 years old, and he worked on it for 17 years off and on. He was still working on it the night he died. If you copy and paste this reference into google you can see it in more detail.<br />http://thetextileblog.blogspot.com/2014/01/edward-burne-jones-and-last-sleep-of.html<br />The above reference I have given you shows a close up detail of the centre of the painting, and you can also see another large photo of the whole of the painting. It is possible to see that the particular part you mentioned on the righthand side is actually incomplete and that is why it looks rather mysterious and ghostly.<br />Good luck - hope you can see it alright.<br /><br />Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-88443742770929929912014-01-29T22:17:43.839+00:002014-01-29T22:17:43.839+00:00Spot on Olive♥Spot on Olive♥Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-20296104421553233802014-01-29T20:57:04.286+00:002014-01-29T20:57:04.286+00:00The last sleep of Arthur is very fascinating, I wo...The last sleep of Arthur is very fascinating, I would want a replica for my living room.<br /><br />Greetings,<br />FilipFilipBloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03748038653807154529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-37478935047529241402014-01-29T19:27:43.943+00:002014-01-29T19:27:43.943+00:00Fantastic images of the Tor, it always feels a mag...Fantastic images of the Tor, it always feels a magical place.

Looking carefully, it looks like the Shroud of death. I seem to see eyes looking out of the rocks. They are waiting for him, to take him to the after life.<br />The mystery of the Holy Grail. I myself think that it will be a mystery forever. It would be super to think that <br />Arthur and Genevieve are to gether. I would like to think so.<br />The poor people of Somerset. They need an Arthur to rescue them at the moment.
