Aspects of the National Museum of Australia.
ARM and Robert Peck von Hartel Trethowan architects jointly won an international competition in 1997 to design it. The Museum wraps around 11 hectares on the Acton Peninsula on Lake Burley Griffin, opposite Romaldo Giurgola's Parliament House.
There are two big architectural ideas that guide the building's shape: the Boolean string, which embodies our views on Australian history as tangled and incomplete, and the jigsaw puzzle, which signifies that the Museum is conceptually unfinished. It is a work in progress towards the articulation of the Australian experience that evolves over time.
Each of the jigsaw-puzzle pieces has a different stylised appearance and construction type. Together, the pieces form an incomplete circle around the central Garden of Australian Dreams.
External and internal walls have giant Braille signs like goosebumps. The signs spell out phrases, some colloquial, some suggestive: "Sorry, mate", "She'll be right", "Time will tell", "Who is my neighbour?" and "God knows".

Saturday night in Lincoln was one of our best nights out there ever. We had such a great time, lots of interaction with other people.
We started out at the Skylight Bar in the Doubletree hotel on Brayford Wharf then went on to Popworld, which was a Fever Boutique last time we were there.
At Popworld we met the wonderful Ashliegh who was just great company all night! And we had a dance on the light-up dance floor too. A brill night all round!
Video from the end of the night, walking back to the hotel room after an awesome night out.

Whistling Kite - has a nest and mate nearby
Scientific Name: Haliastur sphenurus
Description: The Whistling Kite is a medium-sized raptor (bird of prey) with a shaggy appearance. It has a light brown head and underparts, with pale streaks, and dark sandy-brown wings with paler undersides. The underwings have a characteristic pale 'M' shape when open. The head and body are relatively narrow and the tail is rounded. The wings are long and well-rounded, with a wingspan of 120 cm to 145 cm. The sexes are similar, but the females are larger. Yong birds are slightly darker above, with paler streaking on head and underbody. They are often seen near water or around farms, soaring in a lazy circling flight pattern.
Similar species: Several other raptors may be confused with the Whistling Kite, including the Little Eagle, Hieraaetus morphnoides, other kites and harriers. These can only be separated by factors such as flight silhouette and style and the overall body shape.
Distribution: The Whistling Kite is widespread over mainland Australia but uncommon in Tasmania, and is also found in New Guinea, the Solomons and New Caledonia.
Habitat: The Whistling Kite is found in woodlands, open country and particularly wetlands. It is also common around farmland, vineyards and anywhere where carrion (dead animals) can be found (e.g. abattoirs, rubbish dumps and roadsides). Prefers tall trees for nesting.
Feeding: Whistling Kites soar above the ground, trees and water to search for prey such as carrion (dead animals) and small live animals such as mammals, birds, fish and insects.
Breeding: The Whistling Kite appears to be monogamous, with some breeding pairs remaining in a territory throughout the year and pairs actively defend the area around a nest. The bulky nest platform is built of sticks in a tall tree and may be reused, growing larger over time. Both sexes build the nest and incubate the eggs (the female does most of the incubation however) and may breed two or three times a year. The young stay with the parents after fledging for about six to eight weeks.
Calls: Loud descending whistle: 'teee-ti-ti'.
Minimum Size: 50cm
Maximum Size: 60cm
Average size: 55cm
Average weight: 770g
Breeding season: July to January in south; March to October in north.
Clutch Size: One to three, usually two.
Incubation: 38 days
Nestling Period: 46 days

A few months ago I spotted a fabulous outfit on the photostream of another trans girl on Flickr, and I liked it so mch I wanted to recreate the look.
It's a bit gothy, so I did my makeup a little more goth too. Crushed velvet red off=the=shoulder dress, arrow patterned tights and red heels.
I loved this look! I've worn it a few times since.

this is an old snap of ÖN (quite literally known as the Island, since it was once an Island at my Grandfathers childhood, My grandfather remembered this place as an island when he was a kid I think there was a factory and later it was connected to the mainland with the expansion of the harbor and the Cementa Factory dominating the surrounding of this part of the town....
...as a kind I was often on this spot or close to it fishing either with my G-D or others...
I remember early morning loading a bag with sandwiches and hot cocoa, I think all we ever got there was flatfish like halibuts and so on, No wait my grandfather actually used to get both Eels and Garfish (the ones with green skeletons)
When I said we were fishing it is with a small modification, I had my own rod since I was very small, still I wasn´t very interested in the "fishing part" of Fishing, I wouldn´t angle my own hook, I would sometimes on good days make the fist throw, then I would be off leaving my fishing to whom ever I was there with...
I would wander of and explore and find more interesting stuff, once actually a genuine Bootle Mail sadly the sender hadn´t made the bottle sealing waterproof enough so it was unreadable...
but I could make out that it was written in yellow and pink felt pens...
This photo is taken before this area was urbanized, probably when me and a relative was there fishing...
It was taken with my old systematic camera so I guess I was in my teens when it was taken...
Later on my grandparents would live on the first block of buildings built on this peninsula...
My grandparents would alternate a lot sometimes Living in England sometimes in Sweden, this changed quite often in my childhood, I remember packing and unpacking their entire home through my childhood and through my teens... I guess it is the wanderlust of a Circus-family that made them move about...
...also my G-M was born in London, England and my G-D was born in a small house close to this area... Then a town on it´s own called Limhamn who was later swallowed by the Expanding city of Malmö, Sweden
I remember this part of town vividly all through my youth since it was where the boat to Denmark would go...
Since I have family across the sound I was going by boat here all the times as a kid...
Once when I was on my way Denmark with my G-D and my (Danish) cousin one of his first early stays in Sweden my G-D asked my Cousin what he thought about Sweden and my cousin about 4-5 years old said: "yes Sweden wasn´t all that bad, But there were far to many Swedes there!"
No a days if you go to this part of Malmö, Sweden on google maps you will see that the "Island" is fully urbanized...
When there was just my granny and granddads block of flats there my Aunt would call it "Space city" since it looked like an outpost on some newly settled planet standing there like a modern base...
The factory: I think the fist parts of this factory closed down already when I was tiny, but there was some activity the until the 90´s I remember that even if you were not down there close to the peninsula known as the Island you would see "Cemanta" Trucks and trains all over the town, so once I guess that was a prosperous industrial complex with loads of people working there...
Peace and Noise!

The European goldfinch or simply the goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis), is a small passerine bird in the finch family that is native to Europe, North Africa and western and central Asia. It has been introduced to other areas, including Australia, New Zealand and Uruguay.
The breeding male has a red face with black markings around the eyes, and a black-and-white head. The back and flanks are buff or chestnut brown. The black wings have a broad yellow bar. The tail is black and the rump is white. Males and females are very similar, but females have a slightly smaller red area on the face.
The goldfinch is often depicted in Italian renaissance paintings of the Madonna and Child.
