The dragon fought by Saint George
My father took this picture in Berlin. You cannot see it well, but this is a detail of of a larger statue of Saint George fighting the Dragon.This is of course the dragon and it is one of the best, one of the scariest, one of the most beautiful (as in magnificently ugly) dragon I have ever seen. I know it is not Saint George's Day yet, but it will be soon, in less than a month, and this is a good enough excuse to share this picture. This dragon is a proper fiend and the kind of monster that inhabits the dreams and nightmares of men.
