The Somerset dragon symbol is believed to be of Celtic origin and its thought to have been the emblem carried into battle by early Britons in battles with the Romans. The Somerset flag devised in 1911has the red dragon on a yellow background. This statue is in Taunton, the county town.

Wow! What an amazing statue................I thought it would be a Welsh dragon........until I red your narrative.............I've never heard of a Somerset Dragon before!

The detail you've captured is wonderful Maggie............and the black and white processing with the dark vignette is just perfect.

10/10.

A terrific dragon well captured Maggs
With the state of the roads around town perhaps the county emblem should be changed to a Pot Hole ;-))
