A Joke a Day, Keep Your Enemies at Bay

Jokers are fun. And for those special few that serve the Royal, they are called jesters. (Thanks to Visarend for the head up) They used to entertain the Kings and the royal people in medieval times. When it is not funny, they will be deleted. Of course, the less famous can be seen in the bazaar or market! Now, they are in the castle entertaining visitors. A much better job than in old days. Do you want to be a joker? I remembered an old saying, "If you joke, make sure the audience laugh with you and not at you." Cool saying is it?.
Am I In Heaven ?

I attempted this composition after reading the book from Learning To See Creatively by Bryan Peterson. I think it is a wonderful book, highly recommended indeed. Two shots were taken, one by me and another by my friend. I spot metered the face and locked the exposure. The bright overcast sky impelled the use of flash.
Godzilla Strikes Again ! ! !

Our first destination was the Warwick castle. In there we met a friendly dragon. He is just plain friendly, just can't blast any fire. Ironically, most Europeans hates dragon. Their legends tell that dragons are manifestation of evils. They like to portray a knight killing a dragon. However, Asians and Welsh like dragons, believing that dragons are symbolic representation of heavenly strength and mystical powers.
My belief ? Personally, I think dragons are magical, proud creatures that are destined for greatness. They have very powerful aura, capable of giving you an illusion of more than what they are actually capable of. It is this secret talent of instilling confidence and fears in the followers and enemies alike, that propels them to legendary status.
