Hendl-Drachen-Schlangen halt. Kannte ich auch nicht davor. Ich kenn Basilikum und Obelisk, aber Basilisk war mir neu ;-)) Danke, Tanja!

A well composed and interesting image Berny. I love the statues of the Basilisks - they've weathered well over the years.

Some lovely folklore in the link too..............thanks for sharing!
