Thanks for the votes and comments. I was suprised this did so well but I am glad it ribboned. I thought the rest of the top five were fun entries and more in the spirit of Monty Python. Go check them out!
This location is 20 minutes from downtown Oakland. So many Bay Area folks are unaware of these redwoods at the crest and east side of the oakland hills. Come through the bay area and we can take a road trip. :)

Probably the least typical Monty Python shot, but definitely the most beautiful. Congrats on the blue!

This is a very pretty picture and taken that way it's very well-done. The exposure is great, the lighting is great, the little road going through is a nice touch. I don't think it really represents Python very well, though.
