At the south end of the Skeleton Coast and a couple of hours north of Swakopmund , Namibia is the Cape Cross seal colony, a seething, smelly, screeching, barking, squabbling mass of between 100,000 and 200,000 seals.
In 1486 Portuguese Diego Cáo landed here and erected a stone cross in honour of John II of Portugal. It is quite a desolate place unless you are a seal, in which case you would thrive on the abundant fish supply and undisturbed surroundings.

Before World War I, the Red Cross offered first-aid, water-safety, and public-health-nursing programs. During the war it staffed hospitals and ambulances and recruited 20,000 registered nurses to serve the military. Some Red Cross nurses, above at state headquarters in 1917, also fought the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918. Photo courtesy of the South Dakota State Archives.

"The High Cross stood for three centuries at the very centre of mediaeval Bristol on the crossroads formed by Corn Street, Wine Street, Broad Street and High Street. Commemorating Edward III's charter of 1373 granting county status to the town, it was brightly painted and decorated with four statues of mediaeval kings.
"In 1733 it was removed at the request of local residents, who found it a 'ruinous and superstitious relick' and public obstruction. For a few years it stood on College Green, but was once more removed when it was found to obstruct ladies and gentlemen walking on the green. It was then taken to the gardens at Stourhead in Wiltshire, where it had remained in safety and splendour without obstructing anyone ever since. A replica of the upper section of the Cross stands in the gardens of Berkeley Square, off Park Street."

The last number of years Calgary has had a display of crosses in early November (leading up to Remembrance Day), each cross represents a Calgarian who died in combat... Each morning there is a ceremony to raise the flags, and in the evening a ceremony to lower the flags... These are photos from this morning, the day before Remembrance Day, on a rather chilly morning too... Certainly cold enough to give the musicians some difficulties (trumpet and bag pipes)...
Uncompleted cross stitch project-from way back when. I really need to finish this because I dislike unfinished projects. :)
