During a visit to Newfoundland for the first time 20 years ago, we stopped at the tourist center in St. John's to get maps and information. I asked where we could find the best fish (cod) and chips in town.
At least six chanber of commerce staff memembers shouted in unison: "Ches's."
Yep...they weren't kidding. Since the city's streets all run higgledy-piggledy, we couldn't find the place, so we parked the car and followed our noses. True story.
We've been back twice since then and can say their fish and chips are still wonderful.

Today is Remembrance Day. Let's remember the ones who sacrificed their lives to safeguard their city, country, and people.
May there be no wars anymore.
Well , this is a first - having lived near this school for ages here is the main facade of the main building and the first time I have seen it without cars parked spoiling the view . I hasten to add , my school was the local comprehensive and not this one ! I did take the shot with Saturday Challenge in mind but preferred another location which is done and awaiting Saturday .
In the first comment box are another couple of views to compliment this mono capture here .
St John's School in Leatherhead, Surrey is a fully co-educational Independent school for pupils aged 11 to 18. The school offers day, weekly and flexible boarding for approximately 800 pupils.
St John's was founded in 1851 to educate the sons of the clergy, and was moved from St John's Wood, London to its current site in Surrey in 1872. Set in 50 acres (20 ha), the school's site is a mixture of old and new, with mid-Victorian architecture complemented by a Science Centre, and modern classroom blocks and boarding houses.
The school was founded in 1851 as St John's Foundational School for the Sons of Poor Clergy. Its founder was a clergyman, Ashby Haslewood, who was vicar of St Mark's, Hamilton Terrace in St John's Wood, north London. He had a dual purpose in founding the school - to offer free education for the sons of poor clergymen and to provide a choir for his large church.
Since the 1970s St John's, while maintaining a substantial boarding community, has taken in an increasing number of day pupils and in 1989 the first Sixth Form girls entered the school. In 2010 girls were able to join the school in the first year (fourth form) for the first time and the school has been fully co-educational since September 2012.
The school was a success but the dual purpose imposed restrictions. So in 1854 the school moved outside the parish boundaries of St Mark's into neighbouring Kilburn. This was the first of three moves before the school moved to Leatherhead in 1872. Reverend Edward Connerford Hawkins was one of the first headmasters, when the school was still at Clapton in north-east London. He and his wife Jane Isabella Grahame (an aunt of Kenneth Grahame, author of Wind in the Willows) brought up their family there; their son Anthony Hope, who also grew up to be an author, was educated at the school until he was old enough to be sent to Marlborough College.
Despite much progress, it remained essentially a charity school until the significant headmastership of Arthur Rutty (HM 1883–1909) when the school developed all the characteristics of a public school.
The school began to attract fee-paying parents while remaining loyal to the sons of poor clergymen. The school expanded throughout the 20th century despite the problems faced by all public schools due to the Depression. After the Second World War, St John's was fortunate to attract the interest of the Viscount Montgomery of Alamein, himself the son of a clergyman, who was chairman of the governing body from 1951 to 1966. Montgomery's contribution to the development of the school was enormous – he promoted it, raised money for it and gave generously of his own time and wealth. His assistance facilitated the building of the new chapel, the work of architects Seely & Paget, completed in 1962, as the school had outgrown the more diminutive old chapel, which subsequently became the library, and from 2014, a venue for concerts and other events for both the school and local community. The pews towards the back of the new chapel have the names inscribed of those who died in conflict ranging from the First World War to the Korean War. The 1914–1919 roll remembers the 156 who fell in battle, the 1939–1945 panel contains 88 names, and the Korean War board bears 3 names.

Perforate St John's-wort (Hypericum perforatum)
21 June 2018, Cuttle Pool Nature Reserve, Warwickshire Wildlife Trust, Temple Balsall
This is another new flower for me. The buds have a bit of red on them which is nice, while the flowers are startlingly yellow.
I found this on a website: "My favourite thing to do with St. John’s Wort is to pop the flower buds in a jar and cover them with some vodka." www.urbanhuntress.com/2013/07/foraging-st-johns-wort/
In my case I prefer to leave the buds on the plants!

This group of hostile ducks is currently occupying Papa John's Pizza corporate headquarters driveway. They are terrorizing any stopped vehicles. Not only do they confront drivers if they attempt to exit their vehicles, they are sitting down in front of vehicles and verbally assaulting drivers. Use due caution when approaching - they are travelling in gangs, loitering throughout this property and should be considered dangerous.

Rather later than Edward Browning's work in St John's, this rather poor photograph is of the Roll of Honour, commemorating those who lost their lives to war, particularly WWI. They fill three columns.

CREWMAN DIES IN CARGO HOLD.
During a routine check, customs officers discovered a dead crewman aboard Kati which was berthed in Wismar, Germany after arriving from Pärnu, Estonia with a cargo of wood. It appeared that the 49 year old man from Estonia had suffocated. Officers found the body in a cargo hold with very little oxygen on the afternoon of 16th.July 2018. In this danger zone, the worker should have been wearing an oxygen mask, which was not the case. Investigators assumed the crewman fainted due to insufficient oxygen and had fallen and injured his head.

St John's College Chapel, University of Cambridge. Extreme low light, handheld capture: ISO 6400, 1/75. A tripod would have been better!
The Kirk is the oldest standing building in Perth, and one of the most important parish churches in Scotland. It was first mentioned in 1126, and has played a central part in the life of the burgh. The best known incident to take place at St John's Kirk was John Knox's sermon against idolatry, preached on 11th May 1559. The original building was completed by 1241, when the Kirk was dedicated by the Bishop of St Andrews, but it has undergone many alterations since then.

St. John's Co-Kathedrale in Valetta/Malta ------ Die St. John’s Co-Cathedral (maltesisch Kon-Katidral ta' San Ġwann) ist die Konkathedrale des römisch-katholischen Erzbistums Malta in Valletta. Sie wird als Ko-Kathedrale bezeichnet, da sie als zweiter Sitz des Erzbischofs von Malta neben der Kathedrale St. Paul in Mdina dient. Die Kirche wurde zwischen 1573 und 1578 von den Maltesern errichtet, in Auftrag gegeben von Großmeister Jean de la Cassière als repräsentative Klosterkirche an der Ordenszentrale. Entworfen wurde sie vom maltesischen Militärarchitekten Gerolamo Cassar, der auch viele andere Gebäude in Valletta konzipiert hat. Während der Bau nur vier Jahre dauerte, benötigte die vollständige Ausstattung des Innenraums über 100 Jahre. 1820 erhob Papst Pius VII. die Kirche zur Ko-Kathedrale, um ihre Bedeutung für Land und Stadt auch nach der Vertreibung der Malteserritter durch Napoleon im Jahre 1798 zu unterstreichen; der eigentliche Bischofssitz befindet sich in Mdina. Geweiht ist sie dem heiligen Johannes dem Täufer, Schutzpatron des Malteserordens. Das Innere aus der Zeit des Hochbarock wurde sehr kunstvoll und reich dekoriert. Die Kathedrale wird sogar als eine der schönsten Kirchen im Mittelmeerraum angesehen. Der Innenraum wurde zum Großteil vom kalabrischen Künstler und Malteserritter Mattia Pretiin ausgestattet. Er schuf die kompliziert geschnitzten Steinwände und bemalte die Gewölbe und Seitenaltäre mit Szenen aus dem Leben des Heiligen Johannes. Bemerkenswert ist, dass die Schnitzereien an Ort und Stelle geschaffen wurden und nicht wie üblich unabhängig voneinander geschnitzt und dann an den Wänden angebracht wurden (wie z. B. Stuck).
Nahe dem Eingang findet sich das Grabmonument des Großmeisters Marc’Antonio Zondadari von Siena. Er war der Neffe von Papst Alexander VII.
Das Hauptschiff ist 53 Meter lang und mit Seitenkapellen 15 Meter breit. Die meisten Wände sind mit Wandteppichen behangen. -------------------------------------------------------------------
St. Johns Co-Cathedral (Maltese: Kon-Katidral ta’ San Ġwann), located in Valletta, Malta, was built by the Knights of Malta between 1573 and 1578, having been commissioned in 1572 by Grand Master Jean de la Cassière as the conventual church of the Order of the Knights Hospitaller of St John, known as the Knights of Malta. The Church was designed by the Maltese military architect Glormu Cassar (Girolamo Cassar) who designed several of the more prominent buildings in Valletta. The church is considered to be one of the finest examples of high Baroque architecture in Europe and one of the world's great cathedrals. The interior, in sharp contrast with the facade, is extremely ornate [1] and decorated in the height of the Baroque period. The interior was largely decorated by Mattia Preti, the Calabrian artist and Knight. Preti designed the intricate carved stone walls and painted the vaulted ceiling and side altars with scenes from the life of St John. Interestingly, the figures painted into the ceiling next to each column initially appear to the viewer as three-dimensional statues, but on closer inspection we see that the artist cleverly created an illusion of three-dimensionality by his use of shadows and placement. Also noteworthy is the fact that the carving was all undertaken in-place (in-situ) rather than being carved independently and then attached to the walls (stucco). The Maltese limestone from which the Cathedral is built lends itself particularly well to such intricate carving. The whole marble floor is an entire series of tombs, housing about 375 Knights and officers of the order. There is also a crypt containing the tombs of Grandmasters like Philippe Villiers de L'Isle-Adam, Claude de la Sengle, Jean Parisot de Valette, and Alof de Wignacourt.
In 1666, a project for the main altar by Malta's greatest sculptor, Melchiorre Cafà, was approved and begun. Cafà intended a large sculpture group in bronze depicting the Baptism of Christ. Following Cafà's tragical death in 1667 in a foundry accident while working on this work in Rome, the plans were abandoned. Only in 1703, Giuseppe Mazzuoli, Cafà's only pupil, finished a marble group of the Baptism of Christ which might have been influenced by his master's undocumented designs but certainly is strongly dependent on a small baptism group by Alessandro Algardi.[2]
Near the main entrance one finds the funerary monument of Grand Master Fra Marc'Antonio Zondadari of Siena. He was the nephew of Pope Alexander VII.
