The Philosopher and the Queen

I am absolutely obsessed with 'Sahara' from the new Nightwish album. I can't stop listening to it, wake up thinking about it, and break into song at highly inopportune moments!

Anyhew, that said, it's a wonderful song, and reminds me a lot of part of the story of the Mummy (the recent film, I mean), except that the queen's affair is with a philosopher, not a priest. It's this recent obsession that led to this piccie, although it started from a random render ( stages here ) when I was supposed to be doing something else... *looks apologetically at ~Sereda*
