Meet George, stranger #27. I found George sitting on a bench in the mall with a green haired girl who had some kind of cosplay outfit on. He stood out for several reasons, mostly the way he dressed. It is unusual in Brisbane to see people with leather jackets on and you don't often see men wearing berets either. I thought to myself "this seems like an interesting guy, I'm gunna talk to him". George was keen straight away to be photographed.
George is an Electrical Engineer, here in Brisbane on holiday from Adelaide. "I came here for a gig, but covid, you know...", so now he is spending the week hanging out with his friends.
For the gear nerds among us I photographed George with a a vintage Canon lens. It is a Canon FL 55m f1.2, a gorgeous piece of Japanese engineering. I am quite happy with the performance of the lens. I had to stop it down a little for this shot to about f2.

This marker notes that George Washington, who at that time was leading a revolution against the British, took communion at The Presbyterian Church (established 1733) in Morristown NJ. Washington spent two very cold winters in Morristown with many of his troops.
Morristown is home to the National Historic Park 'Jockey Hollow' commemorating this time in history.
Morton National Park isn't the most well known bit of countryside in Australia. This is somewhat surprising since it covers a fairly respectable 500,000 acres (the same size as the entire ACT, fact fans) and includes some stunning scenery. Couple of days ago I joined a tag-along tour by National Parks and Wildlife and explored a little bit of the park. Weather was overcast and drizzly, but the views were still stunning. This is the George Boyd lookout from which (on a clear day!) you can see the coast all the way from Jervis Bay in the north to Mollymook in the south. Enjoy your Friday team, the weekend's just around the corner :)

A gravestone at St Nicholas' Church in Worth.
St Nicholas Church is a Church of England parish church in Worth, a village in Crawley, England which at one time, had the largest geographical parish in England.
St Nicholas’ Church, Worth, is the 4th oldest church in the country and has been a place of Christian worship and devotion for well over 1000 years. It is known that the church is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and parts of it have been dated to between AD 950 and 1050, in particular the chancel arch and apse. It was built in what, at the time, was a forest. The reason for building a church here is unknown, but it is surmised that the area would have had good hunting grounds and royal or noble visitors to the grounds would need a place to pray in comfort. As it was a large church isolated in the forest, it is unlikely it was just for local needs. After the Norman conquest of England in 1066, William the Conqueror gave the church to his son-in-law William de Warenne, whose coat of arms is still visible in the stained glass windows of the church. In the 14th century, the church was passed from the de Warrenne family to the Fitzalan family, who lost it in 1415 to Nevills, Earl of Abergavenny.
Records of bell-ringing here go back to 1684, and bell-ringing still remains part of the weekly routine. The current tower, with its broached and shingled spire, was added in 1871 by Anthony Salvin to replace an earlier building which rested on tree trunks! A note from 1684 reveals that the church had 3 bells but an additional one was then added. The bells were re-cast in 1844 to form a peal of 6 and then again, by Gillett and Johnston of Croydon, in 1928. Since 1928, only routine maintenance was needed until 1997, when major work on the bells was carried out. Pulleys, wheels and clappers were removed and taken to the foundry for refurbishment, they were then refitted and the bells rehung. The bells are still hung in the oak frame dating from the 1844 installation, which sits on the belfry floor 1.5m (5ft) above the ringers’ heads but this was strengthened in 1997. The largest bell, the tenor, is 91cm (3ft) in diameter and weighs 489kg (9cwt 2qrts and 14lbs). Its note is A, the whole ring being harmonically tuned in the key of A. The total weight of bells in the tower is over 36cwt.
Worth Church is still in use as a parish church today, with at least two services each Sunday (usually 8am and 9.45am) and a midweek Eucharist on Wednesdays. Weddings, baptisms and funerals are all popular in this attractive venue. About 150 people are officially on the parish's electoral roll, and up to 400 people attend major services at Christmas and Easter.
The churchyard includes the grave of Robert Whitehead, inventor of the modern torpedo. In a plot bordered with blue railings, his epitaph reads "His fame was known by all nations hereabouts".
