John Knox House, popularly known as "John Knox's House", is an historic house in Edinburgh, Scotland, reputed to have been owned and lived in by Protestant reformer John Knox during the 16th century. Although his name became associated with the house, he appears to have lived in Warriston Close where a plaque indicates the approximate site of his actual residence.
The house itself was built from 1490 onwards, featuring a fine wooden gallery and hand-painted ceiling. It belonged to the Mossman family of Edinburgh goldsmiths who refashioned the crown of Scotland for James V. James Mossman remained loyal to Mary, Queen of Scots when she was exiled in England. He worked in Edinburgh Castle making coins for her supporters who held the castle on her behalf during the 'Lang Siege'. When the Castle surrendered in August 1573, Mossman was charged with counterfeiting, for which he was hanged, quartered and beheaded. The house was forfeit for the treachery, and was given in the name of James VI of Scotland to James Carmichael younger of that ilk.
The carvings date from 1850 when the building was restored. They are by Alexander Handyside Ritchie. The building was restored again in 1984.
Over the next few centuries many decorations and paintings were added, and the house and its contents are now a museum. The building is owned by the Church of Scotland.
The visitor's pamphlet states that the house "was Knox's home only for a few months during the siege of Edinburgh Castle, but it is believed that he died here." It appears to have become widely accepted as "John Knox's House" from the mid-19th century onwards after Victorian writers like Robert Chambers and Sir Daniel Wilson had repeated the popular tradition, first recorded c.1800, of attaching Knox's name to it. The house looked old enough to fit the description, but no research was able to establish the rights or wrongs of the claim. It was owned by a prominent Catholic at the time of Knox, so it is unlikely the reformer ever visited it, given the Catholic connection. Because of its visual prominence, however, it is almost certain that the building would have been familiar to Knox. The location of his actual residence is marked by a plaque in Warriston Close which lies further up the slope of the High Street. After the Disruption in the Church of Scotland in 1843, the house was bought by the new Free Church, a fact which may have strengthened belief in its association with Knox. It was condemned and due for demolition by the Town Council in 1849 but saved through the efforts of the pioneering urban conservationist Lord Cockburn.
The building immediately adjacent on the west side of the house is Moubray House. Its owner Robert Moubray also happened to be the owner of the house in Warriston's Close where Knox lodged in the 1560s.

John Knox
John Knox (c. 1514 – 24 November 1572) was a Scottish clergyman and writer who was a leader of the Protestant Reformation and is considered the founder of the Presbyterian denomination in Scotland. He is believed to have been educated at the University of St Andrews and worked as a notary-priest. Influenced by early church reformers such as George Wishart, he joined the movement to reform the Scottish church. He was caught up in the ecclesiastical and political events that involved the murder of Cardinal Beaton in 1546 and the intervention of the regent of Scotland Mary of Guise. He was taken prisoner by French forces the following year and exiled to England on his release in 1549.
While in exile, Knox was licensed to work in the Church of England, where he rose in the ranks to serve King Edward VI of England as a royal chaplain. He exerted a reforming influence on the text of the Book of Common Prayer. In England he met and married his first wife, Margery Bowes. When Mary Tudor ascended the throne and re-established Roman Catholicism, Knox was forced to resign his position and leave the country. Knox moved to Geneva and then to Frankfurt. In Geneva he met John Calvin, from whom he gained experience and knowledge of Reformed theology and Presbyterian polity. He created a new order of service, which was eventually adopted by the reformed church in Scotland. He left Geneva to head the English refugee church in Frankfurt but he was forced to leave over differences concerning the liturgy, thus ending his association with the Church of England.
On his return to Scotland he led the Protestant Reformation in Scotland, in partnership with the Scottish Protestant nobility. The movement may be seen as a revolution, since it led to the ousting of Mary of Guise, who governed the country in the name of her young daughter Mary, Queen of Scots. Knox helped write the new confession of faith and the ecclesiastical order for the newly created reformed church, the Kirk. He continued to serve as the religious leader of the Protestants throughout Mary's reign. In several interviews with the Queen, Knox admonished her for supporting Catholic practices. When she was imprisoned for her alleged role in the murder of her husband Lord Darnley, and King James VI enthroned in her stead, he openly called for her execution. He continued to preach until his final days. [Wikipedia]

John M. Steele est né à Métropolis dans l’Etat de l’Illinois (Etats-Unis), le 29 novembre 1912.
Volontaire pour les troupes aéroportées, il intègre le 505th PIR de la 82nd Airborne division. Il débarque en mai 1943 en Afrique du Nord et saute sur la Sicile en juillet 1943 où John se casse une jambe. Il rejoint ses camarades en Italie en septembre 1943.
Dans la nuit du 5 au 6 juin 1944, John Steele atterrit sur Sainte Mère Eglise et reste accroché malgré lui au clocher de l’église. John est libéré de son harnais par les soldats allemands en poste dans le clocher. Fait prisonnier, John Steele s’échappe et rejoint ses camarades.
John Steele participa ensuite à la libération des Pays-Bas, à la bataille des Ardennes, et arriva dans la zone de Francfort (Allemagne) pour terminer la Seconde Guerre Mondiale. Il fut ensuite réassigné à la 17e division aéroportée et prit le bateau à Marseille pour rentrer aux Etats-Unis afin de retrouver une « vie normale », en septembre 1945.
John revint plusieurs fois à Sainte-Mère-Eglise, lors de commémorations du Débarquement allié de 1944. Il mourut d’un cancer de la gorge en 1969, à l’âge de 57 ans, dans sa petite ville de Caroline du Nord et émit le souhait d’être enterré en Normandie… ce qui malheureusement ne fut pas réalisé.

The photo isn't quite straight I'm afraid but if I were to straighten it I would lose the light on the right.
The reaon why the photo is squinty? Due to a car parked illegally by the kerb opposite the shot I had to stand in the middle of the road to take the shot :( Having a double-decker bus coming at me tends to make me hurry my shot :D
These tractors were built between 1973 - 1979 and retailed for $17,000 USD in 1979. Photo taken at my daughters place in Duncan, B.C.

Last week I had the privilege to take some shots of the great band, and dear friends, John Moose.
I was kind of stressed out and tired that day and felt kind of frustrated while working with the material, but when this shot was finally published on their Facebook page I was more pleased with the result, seeing it with fresh eyes.
Take some time to share your ideas and constructive criticism on this photo and, most importantly, take some time to listen to the bands mesmerizing music.
John Trundle Court (completed in October 1972) is a terrace block which runs north to south on the north podium of the estate along Aldersgate Street. It forms a 'U' with Bunyan Court, an east to west terrace which it joins near the YMCA, and Bryer Court, another north to south terrace block opposite. John Trundle Court and Bunyan Court are connected, but Bryer Court stands slightly apart on its own.
John Deere 7800 are row crop tractors that were produced between 1992-1996. They sold for $84,000 USD in 1996. Photo taken on my 2016 Oregon road trip.

The John J. Boland arriving at Waukegan.
This would be their second attempt to unload their cargo of gypsum, which apparently is wrecking havoc on the unloading system, because by early sunday morning they would be heading back up to Milwaukee for repairs again.
They were out of Milwaukee by late afternoon and back down in Waukegan sunday night and thankfully third time was the charm for the crew, they were able to finally finish the unloading process and were heading up the lake for a load of stone from Cedarville.
Thomas Alma (T. A.) and John Moulton were homesteaders who, in 1907, filed for farm plots in the shadow of the Teton Range. Today, the T. A. Moulton Barn is said to be the most photographed barn in the world. However, I find the John Moulton barn more photogenic.
John Ray (1627 – 1705) was an English naturalist, widely regarded as one of the earliest of the English parson-naturalists, and the man with whom "the adventure of modern science begins".

Sitting in the smoking area of The Oxford Hotel, John Fitzgerald was good enough to agree to have his photograph taken.
I love these casual opportunities to take portraits of people. The randomness allows for some very interesting characters to get the photo taken.
Those who are interested, the shot was at 2.8 at 1/60th of a second. The shallow DOF is due to the format, which I think works a treat!
