The Sword in the Stone

You should look here too… yes, you can do this at Uni.

Great collab and it works very well Sarah. A fitting start to the series.

Although some might say “Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.”

A great image with a great story to boot…wel done.

Real Cool, Ice cool,

Oh my goodness Sarah you have outdone yourself – that is really beautifully done. Love it!Thank you for using my image!

Straight into the favorites bucket with this one. :)

Yeah, probably the hardest subject I took at uni, I reckon…

Wow, these Mists of Avalon images are gorgeous!

Anyone got Arthur’s mobile number handy?

My father paints scenes I’ve photographed, so they are extra special.

Well done ladies.

I can see a picture book coming out of this series!

Thinking it would make an excellent calendar as well, you just need another 8 images!
How about the lady in the lake?

Wow looks great Sarah.

Wow – wow – wow – how did you do this cracker ? This is soo beautiful – the lighting, the trees – everything is so perfect. You AND your mum should be proud of this one. Awesome.

Fabulous collaboration….just stunning.

AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This Arthurian series is just brilliant Sarah – I think you are evoking the mood and dense mystery of the legend brilliantly. I think this is my favourite so far.

Well done Sarah. It reminds me of a sketch I saw on television many years age (black & white). A big burly knight is tugging at the sword when suddenly it comes free. The hilt hits him on the forehead and knocks him out cold. At that point, a small boy wanders by with a puzzled look on his face and picks up the sword. A crowd gathers and someone asks, “What’s your name son?” The boy replys shyly, “Arfer”.

Great work – congrats Sarah

G’day Sarah,

This has been so very well done!!!
While your Mum’s misty photograph is quite good in its own right, I feel that without “something” in the open space it was lacking.
What you have included and how well you have included it has added more than just “something”! Not only does this image fit so well into your series but you have lifted this to a very good work of art.
My congratulations to the photographer and to you, the digital artiste!

this is great! awesome work!

Beautiful work Sarah!!

just fantastic!

Speechless…..a masterpiece!! Very well done!

I have always enjoyed the story of King Author. I liked the movie Excalibur ever since the first time I saw it. I am not one that is into magic and stuff, I just like the fantasy story.

Great series!!

King Arthur, very close to my heart. You capture the story, and my therefore my heart perfectly. Beautiful.

Awesome work guys, perfectly portrayed. Well done.

Sarah, ya work is great if ya on Facebook, I would be honoured to call you my FB Freind:

What a fantastic series of photos Sarah,

Really well done.

fantastic pieces Sarah. this one is my favourite!

Fantastic. I love the light

amazing creation – truely mystical and magical.

I love the story of King Arthur. Wonderful and magical image you’ve created here!

FAN FRIGGEN TASTIC! I adore what you’ve done here, superb, as a king I was a big King Arthur fan, wow I’m blown away!

Wow – just awesome !

You are such a talent!
Always attracted to Avalon – you may have noticed my name. Also – though this is a hard thing to believe sometimes – but my father’s family tree has the Lady of the Lake as an original ancestor – it’s a professional edition.
Thanks for the re-visit.

Hi Sarah great work I am right into King Arthur and Merlin and even went to England to visit various sites in relation to the history of the grail. Keep up the great work

Growing up in England, and loving the legends and history surrounding this…this is a very special series for me…many memories have returned of special places.

Very nice composite work. A perfect setting for the sword.

this one of my favourites-and the most recent dragon one. But this is simple and most realistic-the beginning of a dream. Cool theme too.

JUST LIKE THE STORY ABOUT KING ARTUR? OR WHAT WAS HIS NAME?
NICE SHOT…CONGRATS

Wow, I love this, beautiful work :)

Very nice image :)

Your Avalon series is marvelous, it perfectly encapsulates the quintessential essense of Camelot. Enchanting!

Excellent image.

I never get tired of reading this part of the Arthur legends! Wonderful depiction of a timeless story.
What a beautiful series you have created. Mists of Avalon is my all-time favorite.
(If you haven’t yet read Firelord by Parke Godwin, it is the other best Arthur story I have read – more historical, but really brings the characters to life believably).

Thanks Jan I will have to go Borders and buy it immediately! Am looking for a new book to read – LOL.

great stuff sarah ..there is also a theory that he might have been scottish you know i will try and find out the name of the book

aye dinny laugh i stay 2 miles frae a place called camelon there is strong suggestions that it was camelot!! i am gonny find oot mair and bombard ye wi scottish stuff….lol!

OOOooooh, so Camelot….. I want to see the white horse….. shiny armour… and the Cross of St. George… my childhood dreams.. Thanks for the memories!

Get Out!...... great stuff! :))))

This is my fav of all…tie with the headless horseman!

This is excellent Sarah! Really nice job!

Fantastic work.

I love this image FANTASTIC!!!!!!

Marion Zimmer Bradley brought the Arthurian legend into my life, & your beautiful art has given that legend a face.
This is a truly beautiful series.
I applaud you with standing ovation !!

Super image Sarah. I too have been a big fan of the legend over the years. Great escapism!. Is Rosalie Dale really your mum? We’ve met before on another site. Love her work too!

Very Nice Classical Theme.

I really like this pic! & the whole set. great work.

OH how fantastic!!!!!!!! Love this!
