Warning: hmmm... photos and words which might embarrass you.
I pondered for a longer time if this here belongs into castlegloria or into schlosseberbach ... but I guess the schloss is ok.
From my stay in London I´m bringing you fascinating pictures:

The forefront of the beautiful National Gallery, setting for the very first scene in the very first manga volume of From Eroica with Love.

The also very beautiful main entrance hall.

And the beau - OH NOES! D: ! NO PICTURES??!! But, but, I wanted to arrange a spontaneous real-life re-enactment of the first manga pages, record it with photos and turn them into a photo novel ! ! ! Drat, all my ambitious plans...

Well... let´s work with what I can have ...
"Maybe a decent girl of 23 shouldn´t be saying this, but i really think this postcard is soo erotic."
"It´s all soo beautiful - Venus and Cupid kissing. The soft, golden tresses falling down his forehead. That naughty look in his eyes. ( The suffering old woman. The half-girl-half-dragon creature. That figure without eyes... ) It´s all so dreamy. You can reeally lose yourself."
"....Tee hee hee!"
Cough. If you want to see the Bronzino ( and not "Bronzini" like CMX claims ), I found it in room 8. During my last visit there was even a very friendly, slightly chubby museum attendant who would have fit perfectly in my photo novel idea! But I never met a larger group of young guys that would have made a good Eroica gang. I don´t even think I saw *one* boy with long blonde curly hair there ( so much about Klaus´phobia ).
PS: I bought the postcard I´m holding! It´s going to be a bookmark in the first FEwL volume.
PPS: Please no offence, Ms Aoike and other admirers of "An Allegory with Venus and Cupid". Despite my impertinent, cheeky comments on the picture description I like the Allegory very much.
