It is an hours drive from any sizable town and the drop to this beach is about 600 feet, and that tends to weed out most folks, so I wasn't surprised not seeing anybody here in winter on Christmas. Unfortunately, due to a high tide, I was locked in within the bounds of this quarter-mile beach. No matter, it was beautiful so I just paced back and forth taking pics beyond sunset. Timed this wave pretty well.

Memento Mori is Latin for Remember You Will Die, this is sometimes carved on the gravestone and sometimes simply represented by a skull.
Excerpt from doorsopenontario.on.ca:
Constructed in 1970 by architects Brook, Carruthers, Grierson, Shaw, this award-winning building provides a glimpse inside one of Burlington’s finest examples of brutalist/modernist architecture. The library, as a community space, is free for everyone and offers books, movies, music, magazines and more!
When depression attacks the wretched monk it engenders a loathing for his situation, dislike of his cell, and contemptuous disparagement of his brethren. . . . It makes him desultory at any task to be done within the walls of his cell. He makes much of monasteries that are situated afar off, and talks about their advantageous positions and healthier sites. He describes the community of brothers there, how friendly and how deeply spiritual they are: while in contrast everything to hand is disagreeable. . . . He looks anxiously this way and that, unhappy because no brother is coming to see him; he goes in and out of his cell and continuously looks at the sun as if it were slow in setting.
-Mary Carruthers, The Medieval Experience of Beauty (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2013), 147.
“Quickly, quickly, lest time be lost for little love.” And the rest, behind them: “So that our zeal for doing good make grace green again.” (Purg. 18.88–89, 91–99, 103–5)
Founding of the Church First Presbyterian Church of West Palm Beach was organized by the Reverend Joseph P. Calhoun, D.D. on February 22, 1922 as a congregation of the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A. The meeting was held in the Woman's Club of West Palm Beach with 55 charter members. Just two years later, 15 of these people with the conviction that the church should have been chartered under the Presbyterian Church U.S. (Southern denomination), broke away and organized what was to become Memorial Presbyterian Church.
The congregation of 'First Church' continued meeting at the Women's Club until October 4, 1925, when the new church building was completed on Iris Street with a Sanctuary seating 150 people. A devastating storm on September 16, 1928, demolished the church structure and priceless records were destroyed. This was followed by a decrease in membership one year later from 402 members down to 275 due to extreme financial losses by members in the 1928 tropical storm and the beginning of the Depression.
The present Sanctuary building at the corner of South Olive Avenue and Evernia Street was originally built to house the Central Farmer's Trust Company Bank. The 1925 Spanish Colonial-style building was designed by Arthur Harmon, who later designed the Empire State Building in New York City. The building was purchased from Central Farmer's Trust Company Bank on March 7, 1934, for the amount of $45,000. Also, the property to the south of the bank building was acquired. The first service was held in the new Sanctuary on November 18, 1934, marking the first Protestant witness in downtown West Palm Beach.
A robed choir and orchestra were organized in 1936. The first-floor area of the Cloister building (now church office, lounge, nursery, and restroom) was constructed in 1940 at a cost of $6,000. On April 1, 1941, the Presbyterian Women's Association was organized merging the Wheel, Missionary Society, and Mother's Council groups together.
World War II brought various activities to the church, including the serving of refreshments to service personnel on Sunday evenings and the large assembly room above the Sanctuary becoming a dormitory for servicemen on weekends. Some 5,700 letters were written to service men's families.
First Church assumed the role of parent church during 1945 for the formation of Deerfield Beach Presbyterian Church.
The 25th anniversary was celebrated on February 23, 1947, which included a sermon by the moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church U.S.S., the Reverend Frederick W. Evans, D.D. That same year marked the establishment of positions for a Religious Education Director and a Church Secretary.
The large assembly room above the Sanctuary was remodeled to include classrooms during 1950, and the Loggia building was constructed at a cost of $25,000.
Once again, First Church served as a parent church when, in 1952, the Forest Hill Presbyterian Church (now Lakeside Presbyterian Church was organized with a transfer of 66 members to the new church.
Tragedy struck the congregation on October 27, 1955, when its pastor, The Reverend William Morgan Lewis died of a severe heart attack at the age of 44, followed by the death two days later of former pastor, The Reverend Morton Fox, D.D. Services for both pastors were held on October 31, 1955.
The year 1959 marked the major renovation of the Sanctuary, removing the last evidence of its formerly having been a bank- four massive pillars and the vault in the chancel area. The Cloister building was enlarged with the addition of a second floor for classrooms, library, pastor's study, and restrooms.
Rudolph H. Buenz, a renowned artist, was engaged in 1960 to design the outstanding stained glass windows that grace the Sanctuary. The project was completed in 1963.
The parenting instinct once again was evidenced when, in 1968 through the Fifty Million Fund of the denomination, First Church concentrated its efforts toward developing Faith Presbyterian Church of Palm Springs. Also, Malcolm Carruthers, Clerk of Session for 34 years was recognized for outstanding services.

I believe my Christmas PM consisted of being landlocked on this beach with both ends of it being blocked by the tides. Fine with me. The rock in the background is 533 ft above the sea and is called Split Rock. I have boulder hopped the entire coastline in this picture. It is a scale down, time the tides, climb, drop, climb drop, absolutely stunning remote kind of place. Wilderness like this excites me, and I hope places like this are not slowly compromised to the point we realize that the earth that once was is not anymore.
It was with some trepidation that Carruthers agreed to take a ride on a Yokosuka Ohka single-seat rocket powered aircraft to reach his new posting.

Hoddom Castle is a large tower house in Dumfries and Galloway, south Scotland. It is located by the River Annan, 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) south-west of Ecclefechan.
The lands of Hoddom or Hoddam belonged to the Herries family, allies of the Bruce family who were Lords of Annandale from 1124. It passed to the Carruthers family, and then to the Maxwells. At the core of the castle is an L-plan tower house, built in the 16th century. It was probably built for Sir John Maxwell, who acquired Hoddom in the mid 16th-century when he married the heiress Agnes, Lady Herries. Maxwell also built Repentance Tower, on the hill to the south, as a watchtower for the castle.
In the aftermath of the reign of Mary, Queen of Scots, the Regent Moray besieged Hoddom, which capitulated after only one day. It was briefly the base of the Warden of the Scottish West March, but was recaptured in 1569 by supporters of Queen Mary. The following year it was attacked by the English under Lord Scroop, who blew up the tower.
This tower was repaired and expanded in the 17th century to form a courtyard castle. It was acquired by Sir Richard Murray from the 6th Lord Herries, and then became the property of the Earl of Southesk in 1653. In 1690 it passed to the Sharpe family. In around 1826, General Matthew Sharpe of Hoddom commissioned William Burn to design modern extensions to the south and west of the castle. Hoddom was purchased in 1877 by the Brook family of Meltham, Huddersfield, who later bought nearby Kinmount House. Further extensions were built in a neo-Jacobean style to the north and west, some at least to designs by architects Wardrop and Anderson.
The house was requisitioned by the military during the Second World War, and was not reoccupied afterwards. In the 1970s William Burn's extensions were largely demolished. The castle now stands in the grounds of a caravan park, and the remaining 19th-century additions are used as offices.
This is one of a series of collages displayed in the long hallway to the restrooms at Carruthers restaurant in Astoria, Oregon.
The pieces are clever, compelling and very well executed. If I had more wall space and if the collages had been for sale, I'd have bought one.
I would like to name the artist, but this display is uncredited. My search for information about these works led only to a series of pre-opening announcements about the restaurant and reviews once the restaurant opened its doors to the public.
The next time we're in Astoria, I will pop in to ask whether anyone can identify the artist.
From the National Register of Historic Places Astoria Downtown Historic District application:
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE:
Although known collectively as the Associated Building, there are three sections-Hobson, Copeland, and Carruthers. [It was built in 1923.]
The architect for this building was C.T. Diamond, the Lorenz Brothers were the general contractors. It was owned by the Carruthers, Cook, Copeland and Halderman interests.
The Carruthers building is situated at the west end of the Associated Building and its first tenant was Cordz Bros., a
men's clothing store. Offices were located on the second floor.
The Copeland building is presently [i.e., 1998] occupied by Astoria Coffee Company, a wholesale coffee bean store, and Hide & Silk Natural Fiber Women's Clothing.
Several offices are occupied on the second floor including Hope L. Harris, Licensed Massage Therapist.
This building is significant for its association to Charles T. Diamond. The bulding's rare design and attention to detailing in its plasterwork greatly contributes to the historic streetscape.

* I cannot claim credit for the title of this photo. It is the title of a collection of short stories by the great writer Joseph Mitchell:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saloon-keepers and street preachers, gypsies and steel-walking Mohawks, a bearded lady and a 93-year-old “seafoodetarian” who believes his specialized diet will keep him alive for another two decades. These are among the people that Joseph Mitchell immortalized in his reportage for The New Yorker and in four books—McSorley's Wonderful Saloon, Old Mr. Flood, The Bottom of the Harbor, and Joe Gould's Secret—that are still renowned for their precise, respectful observation, their graveyard humor, and their offhand perfection of style.
These masterpieces (along with several previously uncollected stories) are available in one volume, which presents an indelible collective portrait of an unsuspected New York and its odder citizens—as depicted by one of the great writers of this or any other time.
