Accepted Answer

```

});
```

Closest `traverses thru the ancestors`. But the image is inside the `sibling(anchor tag)` of the div. So try it this way..

If you want to use `.closest()` then this should work..

```
$('div.pinIt').click(function() {
        var url = $(this).closest('.showPin').find('img.lazy').attr('src');      
        alert(url);
    });
```
