Kim's favourite photo of this episode.
I always thought this was a carving of a man playing a lute to a monkey, but it wasn't until I looked at it again while putting together these reflective anniversary posts that I noticed some really weird things.
1. I don't know what sort of musical instrument it is, or even if it is an musical instrument.
2. Its a little bear, not a monkey, and he seems to be being given or taking the 'lute'
3. The 'musician' has hooves! He's a centaur.
4. Check out that weird bird, I thought it was an owl, but it has the head and feet of a lion, some sort of Griffin?
I would love to know if there is a story about this!
Anyway, continuing reading for some other odd things I've photographed in churches and elsewhere.
