An unusual combination of inspirational elements for the day.. I always see Morris and Beardesley as diametrically opposed theoretically, but then I get to thinking about how they both explore fantasy through their art. Nature. Human nature and decay for Beardesley, and a yearning for a restoration of the natural world for Morris. And where Withnail fits into things I'll always wonder. That film always left me minus a few laughs and completely stumped. Let's hope Into Great Silence makes to Australia soon, so that I may see the whole thing. Thanks!
Very appropriate mood for October as the days shorten/darken and these images remind me of Edgar Allen Poe (another favorite). Haven't seen withnail & I in ages, but found it very funny (in a wicked sort of way).

and Withnail & I, my favorite...
Where is the site/location of the last photo?
What is that last image? I know have seen it in its source before but it seems like a weird dream.
Damn-- i love that version of CREEP and now I know where it came from.
