About Me

My photo
Adalbert is a forum for me, to post ephemera, photography, poetry, occasional travel notes, and various spontaneous motions. Cover photo: Parsonage where my great-grandfather spent his early years. Taken near Liegnitz, Silesia, ca. 1870. The "xothique" portion of the web address is a nod to Clark Ashton Smith's fictional continent of Zothique.

The City of Avalon, Santa Catalina Island, California







 
Islands in general are fascinating as hell, and Santa Catalina, or Catalina Island, is a microcosm rich with story: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Catalina_Island,_California.  Apparently "C.R." (?), who sent this postcard, wasn't given to long-winded messages.

    The story of the Catalina Island Bison is nice.
