Rosslyn Chapel, also known as the Collegiate Chapel of Saint Matthew, is a 15th-century Episcopal chapel located in the village of Roslin in Midlothian, Scotland. The chapel was founded by William Sinclair, 1st Earl of Caithness with a ground-breaking ceremony in 1456. After the Scottish Reformation in 1560, it was largely abandoned but, following a visit by Queen Victoria, it was rededicated in 1862. It was the target of a bombing in 1914 during the suffragette bombing and arson campaign. The interior contains some fine carvings which many historians have sought to interpret.
Since the late 1980s, the chapel has been the subject of speculative theories concerning a connection with the Knights Templar and the Holy Grail, and Freemasonry. It was prominently featured in this role in Dan Brown's bestselling novel The Da Vinci Code (2003) and its 2006 film adaptation. Medieval historians say these accounts have no basis in fact. Rosslyn Chapel remains privately owned.
Not exactly a sneak, but pretty close. More like a necessary shot. Compelled, really.

This wonderful old Sinclair station is located on a side street in River Heights, Utah. It is now used as an office for a firm that buys old buildings and restores them. A young lady who works there told me about some of their restorations, including another gas station and a movie theater. Apparently this was also used as a photography studio for a while.
Thanks for the tip, Jim.

A bit about the first name "Jay:" It can be a name on it's own or a nickname for James or John. It is mostly considered to be a boys name with approximately 184,424 boys having been giving the name since 1880. (Babynameshub)
I like it because it is the name of one of my favorite birds, a Western Scrub Jay, a colorful member of the Crow family.

We just pulled over and Dave drooled over the sign and truck and I took the picture. His father use to run a Sinclair station when he was young.

Another image from Caithness. This is Castle Sinclair Girnigoe near Wick. This is a spectacular castle situated on a long narrow peninsula projecting into Sinclair Bay and the North Sea. I went down to a flat area below the castle to capture this image. Its another place I would like to see when it is stormy. I think it would produce some spectacular images with big waves.

Vintage Sinclair station in the border town of Texhoma, TX, a place mostly about big feed lots and big grain elevators.
I'm old enough to remember when gas stations were like this. It was gas, oil, water, some repairs, and maybe tires, but the extent of "convenience store" was a pop machine outside, maybe a gum/candy machine, and probably a cigarette machine, since seemingly everyone smoked back then. They were little boxes, with a couple of pumps which YOU DID NOT TOUCH. That was reserved for the attendant, who would check your oil and pull a squirt bottle out of the back pocket of his cover-alls, spritz your window and wipe it clean while the pump went "ding" with each gallon.
Maybe I'm getting fuddy-duddy syndrome in my old age, but I miss those times.
Located a few miles away from Wick in Caithness, this is a dramatic castle perched on a cliff. The castle is slowly being restored but the main work appears to be stabilising he castle to stop it falling into the sea.

A wee shot of the famous castle Sinclair at Girnigoe in Caithness. This angle looks North and a wee bit of the aurora is just visible.
Castle Sinclair Girnigoe is located about 3 miles north of Wick on the east coast of Caithness, Scotland. It is considered to be one of the earliest seats of Clan Sinclair. It comprises the ruins of two castles: the 15th-century Castle Girnigoe; and the early 17th-century Castle Sinclair.
The Clan Sinclair trust have begun restoration works.
This picture is exactly as it was taken on the camera. I didn't add fake light highlights or even do auto levels.
