First day of Autumn here in Sydney my fine flickr friends and I'm up at the right time, in great time in fact - so have time to check out Bondi - superflat, no clouds - drove to Tamarama - same, drove to Bronte - same so on I went over the Bondi border and in to foreign territory Coogee . Beautiful morning, lovely sunrise - however nothing too special going on down there apart from a fellow Irishman down the beach sitting next to me. He was still drunk from the night before telling me that we were on the right side of the beach and that we would end up millionaires where as everyone else on the other side of the beach would end up in Ikea. I, being Irish too, agreed with his wise beer sodden words however did not get the money shot whilst I was down there.
On the way home, stopped to get a paper and there he was crossing the road in the beautiful light on Bondi Road. I let him go, did not have the heart to tell him there was no surf down at Bondi and finally got my money shot .
Been super busy over the last few days with work and a wedding(not mine rest assured ;))) so bear with me whilst I catch up. Off now to check to my bank account to see if the millions have arrived yet ;)

Happy Last Day of Spring! That means Autumn is right around the corner! Can't wait!
Really thought about focus stacking this one, but ended up liking the slightly out of focus edges of the foreground because they add a little more uneasiness to the image.

PARROQUIA DE SANTA CRUZ y SOLEDAD
Barrio de la Merced. Ciudad de México
Enclavada en el populoso barrio de la Merced, la parroquia de Santa Cruz y Soledad podría clasificarse por las formas clásicas de arquitectura, entre las construcciones de estilo renacimiento puro.
La edificación de este inmueble localizado en la Plaza Santa Escuela, en la colonia Barrio de la Soledad, delegación Venustiano Carranza, se inició el 27 de diciembre de 1774, siendo virrey Antonio María Bucarelli y arzobispo, Alonso de Haro y Peralta.
Esta primera parte de la obra fue ejecutada por el maestro Cayetano Signen. Los materiales utilizados fueron tezontle, piedra, cantera gris, madera y hierro principalmente.
Se erigió sobre 4 mil 145 metros cuadrados y fue concluida la obra en 1787. Originalmente, la iglesia se llamó Santa Cruz Coltanco y se estrenó el 5 de septiembre de 1792.
Su fachada está chapeada de cantera gris al igual que las pilastras que la sostienen. En su interior tiene 6 columnas almohadilladas aisladas que apoyan a la nave principal.
De acuerdo a una descripción de la época, se trata de un magnifico templo de mampostería; su bóveda está revestida de cantera. Es de forma rectangular y consta de tres naves.
El piso es de mosaico en colores rojo y blanco, tiene una bonita escalera de mármol; el altar mayor es de este mismo material; su techo lo forman bóvedas de cañón con lunetos en los tres primeros tramos de la nave central, misma que se ve interrumpida por una cúpula octagonal.
Sobre el presbiterio se puede apreciar otra bóveda aunque éste es de platillo. Esta área tiene el techo formado por 8 pequeñas bóvedas de cañón. El piso es de mosaico verde y blanco, en tanto que la pila bautismal está realizada de madera con primorosos tallados.
La luz natural es muy buena pues cuenta con 8 ventanales en cada uno de sus muros laterales, además de igual número colocados en la cúpula. Tiene 2 inmensos campanarios.
Por lo que toca a la parte que aloja al coro es espaciosa, ya que abarca las 3 naves y está sostenido por el mismo número de arcos. Su piso es de duela en la parte central y de ladrillo a los extremos. Mención aparte merece el hermoso barandal con 2 originales campanillas de hierro forjado.
Conforme a un inventario efectuado en 1925, la parroquia tenía pequeños tesoros como una corona de plata con una inscripción que decía: "José María Galván, México, Marzo 29-1912", así como un estandarte de seda pintado que rezaba "Corazón de María" y estaba ricamente adornado con galón dorado.
Su sagrario es de madera; tiene a la Virgen de la Soledad con un vestido de terciopelo negro y bordado de plata.
Sin embargo con el paso de los años fue perdiendo poco a poco su esplendor: para empezar en la gestión del Presidente Lázaro Cárdenas, su anexo fue destinado como una casa para los indígenas, por lo que la superficie quedó en 2 mil 635 metros cuadrados. Más adelante se abrió la escuela hogar "Liberación" que perteneció a la Beneficencia Pública. Esto ocurrió en 1937.
Dos años después, en la noche del 24 al 25 de marzo se registró un robo de 6 candelabros de bronce niquelado. La mala suerte no paró ahí y en 1941, hurtaron 2 copones de plata y un relicario del mismo material. Por si fuera poco, el 17 de enero de 1970, un choque de un camión de pasajeros dañó considerablemente una parte de la verja y agrietó un muro exterior.
Afortunadamente, este inmueble que fue declarado Monumento el 9 de febrero de 1931, fue restaurado completamente en 1982, lo que permitió recuperar parte de esa belleza virreinal

When I was a young kid, my Mum used to take us to see her great Aunt who lived in Terrace Street, New Farm, Brisbane. She ran a "reputable" men's boarding house apart from the fly encrusted fly paper that used to hang above what seemed to be a stew constantly bubbling on the stove!
To get there, we would catch a steam train to Brunswick Street station (now rightfully named Fortitude Valley after the suburb in which it is located) then catch a New Farm tram (there were two destinations) and hop off in Brunswick Street near where her street intersected. The walk to the house was probably longer than the tram ride.
It is likely that we would have ridden in one of Brisbane's drop centre (old), FM (medium) or FM Phoenix (youngest) trams in which this shot is taken, actually no. 554 preserved at the Brisbane Tramway Museum Society.
The Brisbane tramway system had its last day on Sunday 13 April 1969.
* Those people old enough who hail from Brisbane will know that the colloquialism "Two to the Valley" was a two fingered salute, not unlike the V salute often seen being made by Winston Churchill, but in our case the fingers were reversed and not meant as a polite gesture! These days that salute has been replaced by one finger or physical assaults and road rage, we must have been politer back then!
It's a scary time that we are living in right now. None of us saw this coming and all of us are doing the best that we can. I am thinking about all of you and hoping you all stay safe.
A lone,unused barn sits high apart from other currently used buildings on this farm site. I have always thought farmers were a "set-apart" people, often laboring long and hard without much recognition in life and yet in their labor raise solid families and help feed millions of their countrymen.
nothing is beautiful or ugly,
beauty lies in the beholder's eye,
it is what that attracts us,
that makes one seem lovely.
The SY locomotive proudly displays her own meagre light bulbs but they can’t compete with the razzle-dazzle twenty-first century neon-fest over in Fuxin city.
The lights still burn in Fuxin, but long ago extinguished
on the steam loco.

Apart from swan lake (Lame) I couldn't think of anything to call this. So A few words of what it felt like at the time will have to do. Plus it's to early to be thinking :-)
