    9 out of 32 are wearing spectacles (28.125 %).

    beachcomber australia I was using my own spectacles to zoom in on their faces too. It's so interesting that even in a habit that was supposed to quash individuality, some personalities could not be suppressed.

    Sisters of Mercy
    “The sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone
    They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on
    And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me this song
    Oh, I hope you run into them, you who've been travelling so long”

    How do you solve a problem like . . . . . . Arthur Phillips? ;-)

    Maybe it was a 'Vicars and Tarts' party but she didn't like the idea of vicar or tart....
  • seedlinggirl / ashley martin said:
    She looks like she may be in mourning...
  • JoniMakesStuff said:
    she looks like the nice kind of nun and not the kind that'd whack your knuckles with a ruler.

    Most of the Brothers standing in their habits in this are just teenagers! Nicely taken group. The chaps in mufti are mirroring the uniformed brothers in hiding their hands up their sleeves. "The Devil makes work for idle hands!!!" and all that
  • Jim Griffin said:
