St John's College, University of Cambridge. Taken, edited and uploaded with iPhone just after sunset tonight. Got soaked, so I'd better dry up and get warm!
E903 continues it's journey south down the Big Sandy Subdivision, now seen at John's Creek in Auxier, KY. The Cardinal covering some of the second unit in this image is kind of annoying, and could've easily been photoshopped out, but I think it's funny so I'm gonna keep it. I don't care what you people think.
Inside Saint John's College, where you can find the famous Bridge of Sighs.

HBM.
The municipal car park at St John's Wood is like a mausoleum for special cars: there are dozens of Ferraris, Rollers, Bentleys, Jags... and this little Fiat. All tucked into these grey concrete sarcophagi. Most have tailor-made covers, some are so covered in dust you can barely make out what colour they are. Who leaves them here? Why?
St. John's church ... Ballachulish.
In the many times of coming to Ballachulish and the Glen Coe area I've looked at this beautiful church and the bluebells that are stunning around this time of year. The bluebells are just going over the top so probably missed them by a week or 2 in their full bloom. A really nice view looking towards the church, grave stones and the Pap of Glencoe in the background.

Thinking about my friends and family in St.John's as they hunker down and weather a massive winter storm with record snowfall. Also heard there was an avalanche in the Battery Neighborhood, pictured in this photo which I shot on a trip there with my Dad in 2015.
St John's Church in the Wiltshire town of Devizes, dates from 1130 when it was constructed as a chapel to the recently completed castle. It is rumoured that the altar relic at its foundation was a feather from the wing of the Angel Gabriel. The feather has yet to be discovered!
Simon Jenkins points out the strong contrast between the - unexceptional - English Perpendicular style of the nave and the decidedly French Norman style of the east end of the church. The north and south chapels that flank the Norman chancel make up a third focus of interest.
St. John’s Church is the oldest English-speaking parish in America, founded in 1610. The church of St. John’s is a 1728 worship building displaying beautiful colonial brickwork.
St John's Church in Vacy, Country NSW.
Took advantage of being out in the country last weekend to get out and try shoot a milky way. We had to wait until about 11:00pm for the moon to set, and by 11:30 it was nice and dark - but cold!
Worth it though! The skies were so clear and the number of stars was startling. Even now I am amazed each time I look at this image.
Single exposure. 17mm, 30 Sec @f4, ISO 4000. (Love the 6D's high ISO capability) The church and trees were lit by a nearby streetlight.
Another visit to the episcopal church and former orphanage that still holds summer services in Harriman State Park. This area of the park was once the hamlet of St. John's
Ok, so this is kind of hard to see, but it is one of the coolest things I have ever witnessed in my life.
There is a cloud about half way up the John Hancock building. The top of the Hancock is above the cloud in full sun. The sun is behind the Hancock and is casting a shadow onto the cloud below.
Sensational Saturday to all of us.
PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.
St. John’s is Canada’s second oldest Protestant church and is one of Canada’s best examples of Carpenter Gothic architecture, where features normally carved in stone are carved in wood.
The first Anglican services were held outdoors on this site and conducted by a missionary from England. A two-storey structure in the New England Meeting House style was built between 1754 and 1763. The oak frames may have come from the old King's Chapel in Boston. The church had a circular tower with a conical roof like many churches in Germany.
The tower was replaced in 1840 by a larger, square one which permitted space for a vestry, porch and singing pew. In the 1870's, a new church was virtually rebuilt around remains of the old. In 1892, a group of carpenters from the congregation enlarged the church to provide side aisles and embellished the exterior with numerous carved pinnacles.
Stained glass windows were added over the years and include the Fisherman's Windows which was added in 1981. The ceiling in the chancel of the church is painted to depict the Mariner's "night sky".
I checked out the ridge trail above St. John's bridge over the weekend. I had only been below to Cathedral park a few times and parked at the pulloff on the way up to cross it. I got as far as the wood plank/bridge for an opening in the trees. 200mm
As featured in the latest exploits of the Owen family in the Channel 4 TV series "Our Farm Next Door" The building was previously called "Smithy Holme".

St John’s Lighthouse is situated near the village of Killough in County Down. It has been lighting the way since 1844, and is the tallest onshore lighthouse in Ireland.
Plans are afoot to replace the mercury bulb with a more modern flashing LED, but thankfully these plans are being resisted and challenged. For this shot my tripod was planted in 5 feet of water on an incoming tide.

Built in 1931, John's Modern Cabins are an abandoned ghost tourist court on RT 66 that were purchased by John and Lillian Dausch in 1951 for $5,000 .. In the 60's construction began on Interstate 44 and unfortunately, the new highway would not provide easy access to the cabins, which would prove fatal to the tiny business .. The cabins, unmaintained for decades, are now in dire condition and beyond repair.
Who would have thought that long before the likes of Ikea, one could purchase flat pack corrugated tin buildings from a catalogue!
This particular “tin tabernacle” was purchased in 1906 from the Harrods catalogue for the princely sum of £120, transported to site by lorry, and erected by two men – quite a remarkable story.
Only designed for a limited lifespan, like many of the post world war II prefabricated houses, the tabernacle has endured, and survives to this day.
A fine specimen of a building one might say.

Fun fact: I attended 1st grade at St. John's Parochial School, just visible on the left, in 1960-61.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The final battle of the Seven Years' War in North America was fought in 1762 at the Battle of Signal Hill, in which the French surrendered St. John's to a British force under the command of Lt. Colonel William Amherst. Lt. Colonel Amherst renamed what was then known as "The Lookout" as "Signal Hill," because of the signalling that took place upon its summit from its flagmast. Flag communication between land and sea would take place there from the 17th century until 1960.
During Signal Hill's first construction period in the late 18th century, Signal Hill was designated as the citadel for St. John's.
Marconi watching associates raise kite antenna at Signal Hill, December 1901
During the 19th century, Signal Hill was manned specifically during the Napoleonic Wars and the American Civil War. A second construction period in Signal Hill's history saw the construction of the Queen's Battery Barracks, which has been completely restored to the period of 1862.
Construction on Cabot Tower began in 1897 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897 and the 400th anniversary of John Cabot's landfall in 1497. The building was declared officially open in 1900. The practical uses of the building were flag mast signalling, and a Marconi wireless station which has since been moved to St. John's International Airport.
On 12 December 1901, the first transatlantic wireless transmission was received here by Guglielmo Marconi in an abandoned fever and diphtheria hospital, which has since been destroyed by fire.[1] The transmission, in Morse code, originated from his Poldhu Wireless Station, Cornwall, UK.
The United States maintained anti-aircraft guns on the hill during World War II.
