Kaapeli photos: The Autumn trip home
http://kaapeliphotos.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-autumn-trip-home.html
Friday, 30 November 2012. The Autumn trip home. Over the last few years, it has become my habit to go home in the autumn. St John the Evangelist Dormansland, Autumn 2005. It is a quick trip. In the spring and summer, if I am in London and have time to spare, I often head out into the Surrey Hills. Or the High Weald. My mother, grandmother and great great uncle. My great great uncle Alfred is keeping his memorial above the rising ground, my mother is easily made visible again by clearing the leaves and a ...

Friday, 6 January 2012. Traditionally, the term "mother church" refers to the church in which you were baptised, and as I started attending as an adult, I was baptised here. The conception of the architect, George Frederick Bodley. Of what a 14th century English Gothic church looked like. We will come back here again to look in more detail at other parts of the church, but for now, this is a taste of what I am used to in a church, to shed a bit of light on my comments on others.

Kaapeli photos: Train spotting
http://kaapeliphotos.blogspot.com/2013/06/train-spotting.html
Monday, 10 June 2013. Not the best view you will ever see of a train on the Bluebell Railway's Hill Place Viaduct. Who now own the viaduct, still operate two locomotives, No 55 Stepney. And No 72 Fenchurch. Works plate from Fenchurch, the oldest railway locomotive continuously in service in Britain. The first railway reached East Grinstead in 1853, cutting through the neighbouring Copyhold Farm, a slightly misleading name, as all farms in Imberhorne Manor were copyhold. Purchased the freehold to farm it ...

Saturday, 20 April 2013. Completing the walk in the woods. In 2011 I started a small photo project called A Walk in the Woods. I say started, which suggests a deliberate plan: I got lost taking what I thought was a short cut to a rugby game, and used the camera and 70-300mm lens I had in my bag to take pictures of the flora of the woods in which I found myself. Exhibitions, I am not tempted to emulate them, these albums are called a walk. In the woods for a reason. And those from part 6 here. I am primar...

Friday, 29 June 2012. Depicting John the Baptist. We have just come to the end of the Octave of the Nativity of St John the Baptist. The feast is on June 24th, and an octave is 8 days, including the feast, to extend the celebration. As the church in which I worship is dedicated to St John the Baptist, we have a number of depictions of the saint. This statue was designed by Sir Ninian Comper. Which unfortunately leads someone of my age to think of a horse. As it is a fixture of his building. The flowing b...

Friday, 20 July 2012. The name of this blog. I have been asked by people who read my sports blog. How these blogs came by their name. It is a Finnish name - Finland is somewhere I have got some excellent pictures, and intend to do so again in the future. This example is on an island in Näsijärvi, a lake to the north of the city of Tampere. Shipping disaster of 1929, when a steamer, that had been modified without sufficient thought to its stability, capsized on the lake with the loss of 138 lives. I am pr...
