Melbourne CBD from 405 Bourke Street. The effect is made more abstract and dramatic in that every second pane of glass in the curtain wall is fluted.
This is a cropped section of an image from this weeks adventure in Bentonville. Like much of the country lately, it was very windy.
Palazzo Morelli
Eretto nel 1819 rappresenta un raffinato esempio di architettura civile.
Sulla facciata principale dell'edificio spicca il fastoso portale riccamente decorato, su cui campeggiano lo stemma della famiglia e una maschera benaugurale.
Degni di attenzione e ancora ben conservati, sono anche gli splendidi balconcini che recano le caratteristiche ringhiere in ferro battuto a petto d'oca, caratteristica peculiare di molte costruzioni barocche del Sud Italia.
Morelli Palace
Erected in 1819 it represents a refined example of civil architecture.
On the main facade of the building stands the sumptuous richly decorated portal, on which the family coat of arms and an auspicious mask stand out.
Worthy of attention and still well preserved, are also the splendid balconies that bear the characteristic goose-breasted wrought iron railings, a peculiar feature of many Baroque buildings in Southern Italy.

Nahum 3:13 “Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open unto thine enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars.”
A Small passerine bird found across small ranges in the country and across much of South East Asia. The bird is around 15 cms long, and found in decidous forests where it hunts in the middle canopy. This is an elusive bird and since its prefers hunting in canopy, is a tough shot in my view.
The bird is a quick agile flyer and I had seen it a few times before from long distance just enough to get a record shot. But this time, under dense canopy and hiding behind bushes, we got a chance to observe it in action. The Flycatcher Shrike tends to join other species (mixed flock groups) in hunting insects. It darts off, catches, consumes and darts off in quick succession. The area we found it had a variety of bird species - around 7-8 interesting ones, and this is the only bird we got a shot of. We did sight around 4-5 of them, though they hunted alone.
Many thanks in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
This photo shows the sand bars in Badwater Creek as seen from the bridge on US Highway 20 north of Shoshoni, Wyoming. This location lies new the old townsite of Bonneville, in Fremont county, Wyoming. Badwater Creek has very little water most of the year but in the spring and early summer, water, which is mostly runoff from rain and melting snow, sculpts the sandbars in the sediment clogged channel. Geologist refer to this type of creek as a braided stream and the sandbars in it are referred to as braid bars. The bridge and this portion of the creek lie in Boysen State Park.

Widespread in summer across northern Europe and Asia, this godwit also crosses the Bering Strait to nest in western Alaska. Big, noisy, and cinnamon-colored, it is conspicuous on its tundra nesting grounds. Bar-tailed Godwits from Alaska spend the winter in the Old World.
I bought this tiny bar of soap over a year ago thinking it might make a nice prop. I've no idea what it looks like inside, but I liked that it glowed when the sun shone through it ... and that it was tied up with hairy string! There's a dolls house bath behind it and the starfish in the foreground is madly tiny (less than ½" across). :)
For this week's Looking Close... on Friday! group theme, Soap Bar.
The Bar-tailed Godwit is a rather plain, but quite large wader, more or less confined to marine habitats around Britain’s coasts.
Birds arrive from late summer and on into early winter from their arctic breeding grounds, favouring low-lying coasts with a muddy or sandy substrate. Their winter dress is pale greys and browns and they have a long, very slightly upturned bill, which is pink at the base.
The Wetland Bird Survey estimates a wintering population in Britain approaching 30,000 birds with two thirds spending the winter months on The Wash in eastern England. The tideline is the best place to observe Bar-tailed Godwits feeding, and at high tide they gather in tight flocks to roost.
I found it fascinating that these birds have the remarkable ability to flexibly curl the top of their beak. Amazing. :))
The Ice Hotel in Jukkasjärvi, near Kiruna, Sweden. Everything is made of ice, including the bar and the drinking glasses. One pub where you definitely leave your coat, hat and gloves on.
Early Conrail leased anything they could get for power. CN units were everywhere. BAR power was also around, but with a smaller fleet, since it was a smaller RR. BAR 87 & 83 probably got paired up often up in Maine, but it was a big deal to catch them together on this Eastbound at Goodman Street in Rochester, NY on May 10, 1978. I should have paid more attention to that Frisco box car too.
