Work in Progress of my Asia Town. The whole town stands on a wooden board with a wall made of LEGO BLURBs. Under the board is a shadow Station with five railway sidings for 12V trains, but not completed at the moment. On the left side there is a small city built of Xingbao houses of the Zhong Hua Street series. The entry to the city leads through the Korean Sungnyemun Gate from Oxford Blocks. The train station from LEGO is the 2150 in a MOD version. The place in front of the buildng is not finished, so still a lot of work to do. On the right there is the Glory Hotel from the Korean Netflix TV series Mr. Sunshine and also both other sets (bakery and tram) are there. The big market with a lot of food stalls from Sembo follows. The LEGO gate leads to the Korean Palace, the Gyeonghoeru Pavilion. There is the Ninjago temple from LEGO 70751 and the special set from 2019 New Years Eve Dinner 80101 at the right end.
Been improved, better access, steps and a lot bigger car park. The plaque on the left of the entrance commemorates it's 125th anniversary in 2011.

Thank you.
In the work of the Belgrade's architect and professor Nikola Dobrovic, Dubrovnik opus stands out due to its specific quality. Respect for local cultures and resources, as well as identification with the Mediterranean way of life also determine his two projects on the Elaphite Island of Lopud: Grand Hotel and Villa Vesna. The villa, intended for residence throughout a year, is situated on the northern slope where remains of former dwellings were found. These remains were used for construction of the villa's terraced garden supporting walls, and the garden includes an old olive-grove. The first two floors are partly buried into the hillside, the above-ground floor creates an exterior space with shadows for daily usage with its console protrusions, and the roof terrace provides a place to stay after the sunset. An excellent idea by the architect of natural air conditioning is related to the roof terrace.

A 5 shot HDR of the organ in the Sydney University Great Hall. I was going to shoot a pano and correct the verticals etc but the hall was closed off for the evening.
The HDR was created from OOC JPEG's as I haven't had time to process the RAWs. Quite happy with it though. Processed using NIK HDR.
Info about the organ from wiki:
During 1881–1882, a Forster & Andrews pipe organ was installed, later to be replaced in 1971-72 by the present organ which was manufactured by German builder Rudolf von Beckerath of Hamburg.
From the Sydney Uni site:
The organ was designed by Rudolf von Beckerath of Hamburg and built in conjunction with Ronald Sharp of Sydney, with the assistance of Mr. T.E. O'Mahony, architect, and the Deputy Principal's office.
Rudolf von Beckerath's philosophy is best expressed in his own words:
"The classic organ or the baroque organ is no longer possible except through an imitative return to the past. Our time is neither classic nor baroque. The vitality of a modern instrument demands instead the translation of the spirit of past greatness into a contemporary form."
Except for the couplers, the action of this organ is the same as those used by Bach and Handel during the golden age of organ-building, namely "mechanical" or "tracker". Enlightened builders and organists have been returning to the employment of this action because of its reliability, promptness of attack and subtleties in touch control. Classic voicing, unnicked pipes, slider-chests, and low wind-pressures combine with the latest advances in modern technology (for example, the "capture system" which permits any pre-selection of stop) to make this instrument at once classic yet entirely suited to our times.
