"You chose to be a soldier of Christ and dared to spread faith in the King of Kings---for which you were condemned to die. Your body, however, proved athletically strong and the executing arrows extremely weak. So another means to kill you was chosen and you gave your life to the Lord. May athletes be always as strong in their faith as their Patron Saint so clearly has been. Amen".
St Sebastian, whose feast is on 20 January, is patron of archers, athletes and soldiers. This alabaster statue by Sir Ninian Comper is in Downside Abbey church.
The downside of buying a unit/ apartment/ flat in a high-rise condos/ condominiums/ flats/ apartments building. Soon all the people who used to have a view would still have a view, of someone else's wall and windows.

Also known as Basilica of St Gregory the Great at Downside is designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building.
This shot rounds-off a series of moves involving a number of 'heritage' traction involving three different Rail Operators seen in the area today.

"O Root of Jesse, who stand as a sign for the peoples (Isaiah 11:10),
the kings of the earth are silent before you (Isaiah 52:15) and the nations invoke you:
come to free us, do not delay (Habakkuk 2:3). "
- the Magnificat antiphon for 19 December
Detail of the east window of Downside Abbey church by Sir Ninian Comper. From the patriarch Jesse springs the flower, the Virgin Mary, who bore Jesus Christ. Old Testament prophets and New Testament saints point to Christ, for from Him salvation has shone upon us.
The only real downside to this very interesting photo trip in Spain was that, after almost three weeks on the road, we were just as shot as the churches we visited! Of course, we had planned in advance so as to not have to re-pack and move to a different hotel every single day, but that had not always been possible, and Spain is a large country: even though we only went through a part of it and the accommodations were, most of the time, top-notch (we will always remember our two-night stay at a “pilgrims’ inn” on the Path to Compostela, the wholesome, heartwarming food and the awfully nice people), we had driven around quite a lot, unpacked and re-packed quite a lot, shot a lot as well (and that does require some concentration!), and we were a bit tired.
Therefore, and as a gesture of self-congratulation, I booked us for three nights into the best ocean-view room of the nicest hotel in a small coastal resort in the Pays Basque, about two dozen kilometers from the French border. There, we recovered from the fatigue of the trip, ate local fish, slept late and drove around for the absolute minimum distances required to see the surrounding sights. Knowing me, you know I had to take a few photos, and here they are.
I hope you enjoy this “Goodbye to Spain!” series.
Another view from our bedroom’s terrace, this time taken with the 14-30mm Nikkor S zoom lens for a wider view that includes the harbor to the left, and the part of the town that along the docks.

Rte "215A Kingston - Downside Common". This LT route was re-numbered to the 215 30/12/67 until this section was withdrawn 19/7/69 between Cobham & Downside.
One of the Caesar Twins entertaining the crowd at Fringe Sunday 2008. He was doing a series of backflips and somersaults when I took this...basically just a case of hold the shutter down and hope for the best. :-)
The downside of your kid being the catalyst for your interest in photography is that you're not a very good photographer when your kid is born. Which means that we have fairly crap photos of Baxter's first year, and really crap photos of the first few months. This makes me so, so sad now. I wish I could go back in time and kick myself in the crotch.
Anyway. Here's Bax, less than 24 hours old. By far the best photo we have of him as a baby, and taken by BK to boot.
The remains of a painted street name on the frontage of the former Euston Downside carriage depot, Camden. I think there may be vestiges of two different painted signs here. The building will shortly be demolished to allow the Euston approaches to be widened for HS2. 23rd November 2017.
Rte "215A" lost its route suffix on 30/12/67 and ran as an extension of the "215" Cobham service every hour to Downside excluding Sundays, this section of the route was completely w/d on the 19/7/69.

Downside up.
Shot hand-held with the Sony NEX7 and the SEL18105G. Cropped and inverted in ACR.
The evening found the lake water still and glassy; distant seasonal forest fires had left the sky thick and white. The decision to invert the image was made later in post -- it is surprising to me that inverted looks 'correct' but the subtle differences are revealed when the image is viewed 'properly' ...
I've owned the PZ18105 for some time and only used it as a video lens. Recent outings with the lens mounted on a stills body confirm it is overlarge to use as a replacement for the kit lens, and any image advantages (I have none to report) are outweighed by the handling disadvantages.
