“There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.”

 

― Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

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

Mother (Mary Ann) Bickerdyke, was a hospital administrator for Union soldiers during the American Civil War and a lifelong advocate for veterans. She was responsible for establishing 300 field hospitals during the war and served as a lawyer assisting veterans.

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.

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.

Philadelphia-born and educated William Glackens was moved in 1895 to New York,where he continued to work as a successful newspaper and magazine illustrator.In 1904 he had given up illustration for painting.Yet his talent for which characterization,gesture,and composition continued to influence his art,as seen in this incident-filled scene of a snowy day in Central Park.Like his Ashcan colleague John Sloan,Glackens became an important advocate for progressive painting in the years after the 1913 Armory Show,heading artist organizations and shaping the important modernist collection of his childhood friend Albert C. Barnes.

One of the steep and narrow alleyways in Edinburgh.

The Milky Way galaxy core shines over the Borrego Badlands as seen from Font's Point during moonrise. The moon is out of frame to the left. Due to a lot of haze to the east, the moon was a night orange color and wasn't bright enough to wash out the sky. It did an awesome job of illuminating the badlands, however.

Father Pedro Font was the official chaplain, observer, and diarist on the de Anza expeditions of 1775-1776. As the expedition passed through the area, Font described the landscape as the “sweepings of the earth.” On the same expedition, he would go on to be the first to map the San Francisco Bay and chose the site for the Mission San Francisco de Asis, all while advocating for improved treatment for Native Americans. Font’s Point is an epic vantage point, worthy of the name of an epic man.

 

Anza-Borrego Desert State Park (ABDSP) is a California State Park located within the Colorado Desert of southern California, United States. The park takes its name from 18th century Spanish explorer Juan Bautista de Anza and borrego, a Spanish word for sheep. With 600,000 acres (240,000 ha) that includes one-fifth of San Diego County, it is the largest state park in California.

 

The park occupies eastern San Diego County and reaches into Imperial and Riverside counties, enveloping two communities: Borrego Springs, which is home to the park's headquarters, and Shelter Valley.

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!

looking north over the Scott monument.

The backside of the building of "The Advocate," a local weekly newspaper in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee.

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!
