All of these photos we're photographed in my UNF Library where the photos I've selected are the ones I personally consider to be the most memorable/iconic parts of my experience(s). The UNF Library helps me feel fully comfortable with getting my work done due to the extraordinarily peaceful amount of space left in store.
Every day I set up my street shop to sell knowledge & literature, something that I could never afford for myself.

On the east wall of the Scottish National War Memorial, inside Edinburgh Castle
Built between 1924-7, The Scottish National War Memorial at Edinburgh Castle was designed by Sir Robert Lorimer. He reused part of an old barrack block to create a memorial comprising three elements: a hall of honours, a national shrine, and a roll of honour. A number of craftsmen and women were commissioned to produce sculpture and stained glass for the memorial, which is regarded as one of Scotland's most important buildings.

Castle Rock had been a military base and royal residence for centuries. However, the edifice that is known as Edinburgh Castle was built during the 12th century by David I, son of Saint Margaret of Scotland.
The tensions between the English and Scottish monarchies nearly always centred on Edinburgh Castle. He who held the castle held rule over the city of Edinburgh and, therefore, over all of Scotland. Consequently, the castle was almost constantly under siege.
The first major battle the castle witnessed was during the late 13th century when Edward I of England attempted to seize the then vacant Scottish throne. From 1296 to 1341, the castle bounced from English to Scottish hands several times during the First and Second Wars of Scottish Independence.
After the Wars of Independence, the castle was in great need of repairs. Most of the construction was overseen by David II. In his honour, David’s Tower was erected.
In 1571, English forces laid siege to the city of Edinburgh in an attempt to capture Mary, Queen of Scots. The siege, which lasted for two years, became known as the “long” or “Lang” siege. By February of 1573, all of Mary’s supporters had surrendered to the English. During the Lang Siege, David’s Tower was destroyed.
The castle, again, witnessed strife when, in 1650, Oliver Cromwell executed Charles I and led an invasion of Scotland. In August of that year, Edinburgh Castle fell into English hands.
During the Jacobite Risings (1688-1746), the Scots attempted, several times, to recapture their castle. Unfortunately, they were never able to overpower the English. The final attempt was in 1745 when the Jacobite army was led by Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie). Although the Scots were able to capture the city, they were never able to lay siege to the castle. In November of that year, the Jacobites were forced to retreat.
From the late 18th century to the early 19th, Edinburgh Castle was used to hold military prisoners from England’s many wars. The castle became a national monument in 1814 after a mass prison break proved that the castle could not hold prisoners. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, the castle was slowly restored. Military ceremonies began to be held there and, in 1927, part of the castle was turned into the Scottish National War Memorial.

The instagrams from the RSA's 2013 Benjamin Franklin Medal ceremony - presented to Walter Isaacson in New York City.
The award dinner was made possible in part by the generosity of members of the Benjamin Franklin Medal Committee.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the RSA-US Challenge Fund and RSA-US Student Design Awards Program, two foundation blocks of the core initiatives of the RSA in the United States. Both of these programs are going into their second year, and both have an impressive track record of inspiring and empowering young social innovators – perhaps among them a future Benjamin Franklin Medalist.
The Benjamin Franklin Medal has a rich history dating back to its inaugural year of 1956, the 250th anniversary of Franklin’s birth and the 200th anniversary of his membership to the RSA. It is awarded to individuals, groups and organizations who have made profound efforts to forward social progress in areas closely linked to the RSA’s agenda. Winners over the years have included General Colin Powell, Senator George Mitchell, Dame Judi Dench, Peter Ustinov, Margot Fonteyn, and David Attenborough. Long time Fellows will remember the Medal presentation to William Hewlett under the stars at Menlo College; or the moving speech given by UK Ambassador to the UN Sir Jeremy Greenstock at the event honoring Phil Lader just a few weeks after 9/11.
Each celebration is unique, and every medalist inspires us in a different way.

This is a huge sculpture of Buddah. I had to take lots of photos and stitch them together and get the right tone I wanted. Buddah is noted for the knowledge he gained about humanity through almost limitless meditation I'm not a buddist, still......

Fado is the expression of "saudade", which is a particularly Portuguese concept.
In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, Portugal was at the absolute forefront of the Age of Exploration. Portuguese navigators pushed knowledge of the coast of the old World from Morocco to India, China and Japan during this period.
But exploring was a risky business. Ships and even fleets were routinely lost to the sea and even if they didn't, people decided to live a new life in the new colonies. Or they might come back - years or even decades after they left.
Those left behind often found themselves waiting and hoping for their loved ones to return, sometimes for years and more, without any idea of what had happened or whether they would ever see their loved ones again. This longing is "saudade" and traditionally found an outlet in Fado.
Nowadays, Fado is more generalist as a musical style.
