In 1836 the first pastoralists moved into the Geelong region with David Stead and John Cowie on the Moorabool River and Alexander Thompson on the Barwon River (Kardinia estate meaning sunrise in local Aboriginal language). By 1837 there were enough pastoralists and their workers in the region for Magistrate Foster Fyans to be stationed at the Barwon River and Constable Patrick McKeever to be the first police officer there. Geelong was surveyed in October 1838 with the first land sales in 1839. The first general store, the Wool Pack Inn and a wool store opened around his time and by 1841 there were 82 houses and over 400 residents and the town had its own newspaper. The main streets were named after places and people mainly who were early settlers– Moorabool, Yarra, Bellarine, Corio, Gheringhap, Swanston and Malop, Ryrie, McKillop, Myers, Brougham, Fenwick and etc. The name of Geelong came from a local Aboriginal languages meaning either “white sea bird” or “cliff” or “going up”. Within a short time there was a saddler, Wesleyan place of worship (not quite a church), a post service etc. In 1848 Geelong was declared a port for exporting wool, grain, hides, tallow etc. A year later (1849) it was officially proclaimed a town with its own Town Council and a mayor. The Industrial Revolution in England and the great demand for wool for woollen mills boosted the town’s growth and the discovery of gold in Ballarat added to it. Geelong was able to supply needed goods for the goldfields etc. In 1851 Geelong had 8,291 inhabitants but by 1853 it had 22,000 thanks to gold from Ballarat being received and exported from here. The basalt and sandstone Customs House was built in 1856 in Brougham Street when exports began from here rather than at Williamstown near Melbourne and immigrants landed directly in Geelong. The first Town Hall was built in 1855 and a telegraph connection with Melbourne was established in 1854. The fine sandstone Telegraph Station with a timeball for shipping on its roof was built in 1858 and still stands next to the former Post Office. The first railway in Victoria linked Melbourne and Geelong in 1854. A private company began building the railway in 1854 but it was not completed until 1856. The first railway station was replaced with the current one between 1877 and 1881 hence the polychromatic brick work which was popular at that time. A new railway line was built from Geelong to Ballarat starting in 1858 with completion in 1862. A short tunnel was cut through the hill beyond the railway station in 1875 to allow trains to travel to South Geelong and on to Colac. By the mid-1850s Geelong was the third biggest town in the Australian colonies and it continued to greatly significantly in the 1860s.

(2) trains streak past the former connections from the IRT Times Square Shuttle to the IRT Broadway-7th Avenue Line. Part of the original IRT system, these connections brought trains from the Upper West Side down to City Hall via the Lex.
This location gave me good practice on long-exposure shots. I also wanted to make sure I got this shot before it disappears: major changes are coming to the Shuttle in the near future.

Thomas has also taught me the real nature of companionable silence. Often he nestles into the cradle of my legs while I’m reading and it reminds me of the way it feels to read to a small child. Like that child’s chubby hand, Thomas will rest a paw on my arm or leg--making a connection. He seems to radiate good humor and innocence as he sits quietly facing me with a look of contentment. When I smile at Thomas and look into his eyes, he sustains the eye contact and his smile deepens in response. It is an electrical connection, penetrating and steady. Full of meaning. I am taken aback because I am conditioned to not believe that what I am seeing is possible. Without words we are able to convey our mutual pleasure in each other’s company; he recognizes and responds to my facial expression with one of his own.
my hat was made in nepal--a project to support education. the sweater is my dad's (gifted to me), handmade by my grandma. knits interlace material, but more importantly they interlace people. they link us in the coziest of ways. (now you: knit)

2018 Project 52: Week 20 - Connection/Relationship
I wanted to take a different approach to this week's Project 52 theme. There are so many fairly obvious ways to treat the subject, but I yearned for something different.
My muse came up with this idea as I was walking around a thrift store looking for still life props. I spotted a bin of generic silverware and these two caught my eye... the only two that weren't the standard stainless steel. A connection!
Fifty cents later, they were headed home with me.
Pretty happy with the outcome!
Create a photograph that illustrations connection.
Hands are not yet the same size so holding hands is hard but we're getting there with a speed of 24 hrs/day!
First idea of a "connection" was two connected carts of a freight train. But after trying too long to get a decent photo of that I gave up and focused on the most important connection. The unbroken chain that built this somewhat broken civilisation.

Cartes de visite by J.L. Eck of Kutztown, Pa., and Patton & Lee of Reading, Pa. Four portraits reveal details of two women and a child whose lives intersected in Pennsylvania. Their names are written in modern pencil on the backs of the mounts. On the left is Matilda Hortenster, a name yet to be found on genealogical records. To her right is Angelina Gross Hawrecht (1843-1900), described as a servant to Ms. Hortenster. Angelina’s daughter, Katie Francisco Gordon, is shown in the next two images. Born on Sept. 18, 1866, she died on June 7, 1870, just a few months before her fourth birthday.
Note the different surnames between Angelina and Katie. One theory to explain the difference is that Angelina, whose maiden name is Gross, married a man named Gordon. Or, she had the child out of wedlock and she was adopted by a family named Gordon. Angelina married Emil Hawrecht in 1882.

The rock I'm grasping here is part of Creswell Crags, a limestone gorge in England where humans dwelt in caves during the last ice age. Who knows, perhaps my 10,000 year old (or more!) ancester placed their hand in this very spot.

I love how thew bridge is able to connect the two shores of different states. I think about how God built the bridge to Him through Jesus. How much beauty is here in an ordinary span and what true beauty will be shown to me when I cross from this life to the next. For now all I can do is stand in the foreground and admire Him from afar. Hope you all have a wonderful week. Sorry I haven't been around as much as I would like to be. Hopefully that will change soon.
