    The perspective of this view is odd - it looks as though the road descends towards the west.

    What a wonderful series of photos. It looks quite unchanged, and is one of the loveliest walks, from Holyrood to the Castle. :) Wish I were there now!

    Old street in the ancient Jewish Ghetto (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Ghetto) close the "Portico d'Ottavia" SUGHERARI are in Italians the Cork Workers, SUGHERO means Cork. So this was the street of the Cork Workers inside Roman Ghetto. Many Rome street's name has origin from the old workers, like "Via dei Coronari", "Via dei Cappelari", "Via dei Baullari" and many others

    John Brown was the servant who became close to Queen Victoria after the death of Prince Albert. Their relationship was the subject of the 1997 movie "Mrs. Brown," starring Dame Judi Dench and Billy Connolly. "Much gossip attached to the unlikely relationship and much animosity generated by those who resented the trust placed in the 'low-born' Brown by the Queen. The Queen refused to desert Brown because of the scandalous talk - which she dismissed as 'ill-natured gossip' " From the Royal Deeside website: John Brown, Faithful Servant to Queen Victoria --

    Hi, this photo has been mentioned in a discussion thread in the Flickr Commonsgroup, and we'd love to have this added to the group pool! -- Seen in a discussion of Flickr Commons. (?)

    Wow, i'd never seen a photo of John Brown before, only heard the story.
  • Madame Maracas said:
    He looks as though his glare could melt the film, as if the photographer is intruding. Which I guess would fit the story as we know it.
  • caoseducado said:
    To see these two! It is totally a smashing photograph!
