The Old Town in Edinburgh consisted originally of the city's main street, now known as the Royal Mile, and the small alleyways and courtyards that led off it to the north and south.
A close is private property, hence gated and closed to the public, whereas a wynd is an open thoroughfare, usually wide enough for a horse and cart.
Dating back to 1450, Borthwick's Close takes its name from Lord Borthwick, a solicitor and Member of Parliament in the mid-15th century who built his residence there.
As a result of Edinburgh coming under frequent attack during conflicts in Scotland, the city experienced a high level of urban density, with closes tending to be narrow and surrounded by tall buildings on both sides, giving them a canyon-like appearance and atmosphere.
La vieille ville d'Édimbourg se composait à l'origine de la rue principale de la ville, aujourd'hui connue sous le nom de Royal Mile, et des petites ruelles et cours qui en partaient vers le nord et le sud.
Une « close » est une propriété privée, donc fermée au public, tandis qu'un « wynd » est une voie publique ouverte, généralement assez large pour laisser passer un cheval et une charrette.
Datant de 1450, Borthwick’s Close tire son nom de Lord Borthwick, un avocat et parlementaire du milieu du XVe siècle qui y avait fait construire sa résidence.
En raison des fréquentes attaques dont Édimbourg a été victime pendant les conflits en Écosse, la ville a connu une forte densité urbaine, les closes étant généralement étroites et entourées de hauts bâtiments des deux côtés, ce qui leur donne un aspect et une atmosphère de canyon.

Edinburgh. Scotland.
In my garden taking pictures of little birds at my bird feeding place, this jackdaw with an attitude was so close that my 600mm prime lens could only take a close-up of this black bird species.
Privacy and security are those things you give up when you show the world what makes you extraordinary.

This weeks "Macro Mondays" Theme of "Closed" had me unsure of what to photograph for a while. I was a little uninspired. I had a look through the photos today and saw a few thoughts I'd had already represented with some good photos.
I then decided to make my son's drinks bottle my subject and use a technique I'd used recently for the "Wheels" theme to actually close the bottle during the exposure and have it closed by the end. I also incorporated the "Complementary Colours" theme into the photo and selected a Green background with texture.
I do like photos with motion blur so I was happy to try this again.
Closing out what has become great blue heron week, this one gave me a nice up close opportunity.
Best when viewed large.

Hard to Believe this is a Scene really Close to Home here in Southern California, 10 minutes from home in Irvine there is some nice woodland brush areas and sometimes when I'm home I venture out early morning on the Weekends, and when the Fog rolls outs it creates a nice atmospheric scene
