Good Knight



If you want to see what a Knight looked like, the Crypt of the Priory Church of St John Clerkenwell is one place to go. Here, the 16th century figure of Don Juan Ruyz de Vergara can be seen. Frankly I find this angle most interesting: you can see that strange dog like creature - a lion carved by someone who had never seen one - and what seems to be a page boy lying down with him. Make of that what you will.

That's a beautiful shot, Ham, and a perfect title! I like the angle, too.
