An eastward view of the north and south sides of Governor Oglesby St. in downtown Elkhart, a small village (population 450 at the 2020 census) in Logan County that is located 20 miles northwest of Springfield, the state capital. These old commercial buildings date to the late 19th and early 20th century.
Richard Oglesby (1824-1899) lived in Elkhart and served as governor of Illinois from 1865 to 1869, 1873, and 1885 to 1889 making him the first man in Illinois history to serve three times as governor. He also represented Illinois in the United States Senator from 1873 until 1879.
During his tenure as governor, the Republican advocated improving the quality of care of the mentally ill and for other groups of disabled citizens. He also signed legislation expanding the State Hospital system from one campus to three. After his retirement, Oglesby spent his remaining years in retirement and died in 1899 at his "Oglehurst" estate in Elkhart. Governor Oglesby is buried in Elkhart Cemetery.

If you walk down the Royal Mile and you'll see open doorways near the castle end of the street. In Edinburgh terms, these are known as "closes"; basically, very old, narrow, steep streets once replete with open sewers. Now home to bars, restaurants, and museums, they offer a true taste of historic Edinburgh. Advocate's Close is a particularly interesting one; positioned up high, it affords views of the Scott Monument and a good portion of Edinburgh. Halfway down, The Devil's Advocate is a moodily lit bar that serves up excellent cocktails in a historic setting.
Like most of the closes, Advocate's Close, which is thought to date back to the 1500s, is spooky and fascinating, and it's like stepping back in time. Most of these skinny streets have been widened or built over; the closes that remain are a precious fragment of local history. There are many more closes...as World's End Close, Fleshmarket Close etc

A British tradition, we all are aware of it. This one dates from around 1600, can be found in All Saints, Wing, Buckinghamshire, and is part of one of three memorials dedicated to the influential Dormer family. However, it is a queue with attitude: these are members of the family of the deceased, all are on their knees and all are praying. They are in fact the deceased person's advocates, interceding on his behalf, so that he will be admitted to Heaven. This is an act of human solidarity offered to the divine. Even today, in our much secularised world, our funeral arrangements are structured as acts of human solidarity - the living being the deceased person's advocates.

Closes are narrow alleyways that connect streets. Pronounced with an oo sound like in good or food. I found these little closes charming, interesting and a respite from the hordes of tourists filling the main thoroughfares.
One of the steep and narrow alleyways in Edinburgh.

St. Elizabeth's Catholic Church, in the small town of DeVall's Bluff, Arkansas. The church was built in 1912, but closed in 1986 when the last parishioner passed away. It was then abandoned and left to the elements.
"After the recent Statement released by Blackpool Heritage Tram Tours, Jane Cole, Managing Director of Blackpool Transport has issued the following statement addressing concerns regarding the future of the Heritage Tram operation:
“As Managing Director of Blackpool Transport, I would like to reach out to everyone who has expressed their concerns about the future of the Heritage Tram operation. I am the biggest advocate for the preservation and future of our beautiful assets.
“I can confirm that the future of our heritage trams is safe and we aim to have them back on the Promenade next year. However, before that can happen there are a number of complex operational issues that need to be addressed.
“While we work on these, we have made the difficult decision to suspend operations. We apologise for the disappointment and inconvenience this has caused to our passengers but it is the right decision at this time.
“Recently we have been able to run the heritage trams out of Starr Gate depot which does not interfere with the ongoing works at Rigby Road. We are considering how this could provide a solution to some of the challenges we are currently facing.
“It is also important to clarify that the suspension of tram tours does not affect plans for the Rigby Road tram shed. In fact, it highlights the importance of bringing our vision for Tramtown to life to preserve Blackpool’s heritage.
“Blackpool Transport Services and Blackpool Council remain committed to continue working with all our volunteers, supporters and stakeholders during this pause in the operational running of the heritage fleet.” 10-12-2024 --- www.marketinglancashire.com/news/next-steps-for-blackpool...

I guess for all this time I knew
I was in control
I was losing touch
And now I guess the only thing to do
Is to sell my soul and it won't sell for much
I can't believe for all this time I knew
I was in control
I was losing touch
And yeah, I guess the only thing to do
Is to sell my soul
And watch it go like

USA, Chicago, IL, July 28, 2011. A long-time advocate for affordable health care for low income families, Senator Donne Trotter has been instrumental in including programs such as FamilyCare in a shrinking Illinois budget. The popular touch of state policymakers like Senator Trotter, who has served Chicago's 17th District for more that 20 years, is essential to communicating to the public the impending benefits of President Obama's 2010 Affordable Care Act. In association with Representatives Constance Howard and Marlow Colvin, Senator Trotter reaches out through health fairs and block meetings to educate his constituents about upcoming developments in the law that will help keep families healthy.
Thats my 13 yr. old. Since he was a toddler he always had a big heart for animals. Funny today I was trying to think of some place to photograph him I look out my living room window and saw this mini billboard for animal advocates and thought this would be perfect!
Sorry about the weird resolution. I have no clue what happened.
Also, i seem to have an obsession with angels don't i? That and lotus Exige's!

Taken back in the summer of 2003, we found a half dozen Haflinger horses and a small group of Hereford cattle sharing the same pasture. We had turned north off route 209, just opposite the Irving Station to spend an hour at the cemetery on the hillside overlooking Cape d'Or and Advocate Bay when we found this group splashing around in a shallow creek beside the road. When we parked they moved out of the muddy water up into the grass. There was a pleasant breeze blowing in off the bay so we and the livestock weren't bothered at all by bugs. After arriving at the cemetery, about a quarter mile farther up the hill, we looked back and saw that they had moved back into the water, drinking and splashing once more.
Taken with my first digital camera, a Kodak DC4800, a small pocket sized 3.1 MP point and shoot that didn't shoot RAW images but did shoot TIFF's.
