Shot in... Paris with my... Compact camera, it fell in some vodka at some point I think, so it is a bit blurry at the center.

The Sandugo was a blood compact, performed in the island of Bohol in the Philippines, between the Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna the chieftain of Bohol on March 16, 1565, to seal their friendship as part of the tribal tradition. This is considered as the first treaty of friendship between the Spaniards and Filipinos. "Sandugo" is a Visayan word which means "one blood".
The Sandugo is depicted in both the provincial flag and the official seal of the government in Bohol. It also features the image of the blood compact. The top of the seal explains the history behind the Sandugo event that occurred in Bohol, the fleet and the location where the Spaniards anchored and the place where the treaty was conducted which was dated on March 16, 1565
My collection of super-compact 35mm cameras was recently greatly expanded when a freind of mine gave me his entire collection of cameras! So 3 Rolleis (35, 35 S and 35 LED) and 1 Minox (EL) were added to the Olympus XA and Petri Color 35 D I already owned.
The Rolleis, particularly the 35 and 35 S, are gorgeous, beautifully made, little cameras. But ergonomically they are... well... something of a challenge! Practically every single control is in a different place from almost every other camera, and they have the most diabolical battery compartment (inside the film chamber!!) ever invented LOL Just as well the batteries don't need changing very often.
Having said that I recently ran a film through the Rollei 35 and I found it to be much nicer in practice than I was expecting.
Perhaps Grand Central don't expect many passengers on their Sunderland to Kings Cross service. 22.03.2017
