In the Perkin.

The Perkin Warbeck; named after the man who claimed to be the rightful heir to the throne of England and, in 1497, entered Taunton with an army of 8,000. Perkin Warbeck was cross-examined by King Henry VII, in Taunton Castle, and eventually executed.

 

A test shot with my new "used" 16mm Sony lens.

I know its not the best of lenses but it does make the a6300 small enough to go in a pocket. I can live with deficiencies to gain the convenience. I have the 18-105mm and its a monster on this small camera - not always what you need in the street.

 

A fine drop of beer - The Doom Bar is a sandbar at the mouth of the estuary of the River Camel, where it meets the Celtic Sea on the north coast of Cornwall, England.

 

Until the twentieth century, access to Padstow's harbour was via a narrow channel between the Doom Bar and the cliffs at Stepper Point, a difficult passage for sailing ships to navigate, especially in north-westerly gales when the cliffs would cut off the wind. Many ships were wrecked on the Doom Bar.
