This is me in old-style Alirum. OK, I fell in the water, but it made for a good snap, even if I did get my paws wet.
Foundation stone 1 May 1882 by Mrs W H Sharland, designed by Daniel Garlick, opened 29 Jan 1883 beside the Archer Street Wesleyan Methodist church (demolished 1964), later used by Blind Welfare Institute, now Australian Retired Persons Association.
“The schoolroom when finished will consist of a large lecture-hall and nineteen classrooms, a library, and infants' and officers' rooms. . . The building, which will be in the Gothic style, is to be composed of Glen Osmond stone with cement dressings. The amount of the tender for the whole design is £3,952 ; but it is at present intended to erect only the lecture-hall and four class-roo [Register 2 May 1882]
“Tea and public meetings in connection with the opening of the lecture hall and classrooms of the Archer-street Wesleyan Church were held in the new buildings on Monday, January 29. At the latter there was a large attendance, and the Hon. J. Colton, M.P, presided. . . The class rooms on the right and left were very beautiful rooms, and they ought to be proud of them. It was no doubt discouraging to the teachers when they went to school to see empty classes. The children might have had an excuse in the old building for non-attendance, but now they had a beautiful place they could have no excuse to stay away.” [Express & Telegraph 30 Jan 1883]
NORTH ADELAIDE ARCHER STREET WESLEYAN METHODIST CHURCH
Foundation stone 10 Jan 1856 by Governor Richard MacDonnell, architect Edmund William Wright, opened 13 Dec 1857 as Wesleyan, Methodist after Union 1900, demolished when new church built 1962. New church foundation stone 19 Aug 1962 by Rev A T Strange, architect Eric von Schramek, known as Archer St Methodist, transferred to Presbyterian church 1982. First North Adelaide Wesleyan services had been held in Kermode St chapel until chapel opened 17 Oct 1847 in Archer St.
“Wesleyan . . . The ground on which the present chapel at North Adelaide stands was given in 1838 by the hon. member for North Adelaide, John Bentham Neales, Esq. . . Some friend of the Wesleyan cause, soon afterwards laid the foundation-stone. It was considered, as an old resident informed me, to be out of character to build a place of worship so far in the 'bush' as that place was then considered, and, consequently, that foundation-stone was permitted to remain undisturbed for nine years. In 1847 the greater part of the building now existing was erected; but soon afterwards the congregation became so large that a larger building was required. . . The drawing of the front elevation also shows that above the entrance-door there will be a fine four-light window, with mullions and divisions cut in freestone, and harmonizing with the style of the building. Above this there will be a circular window divided by Gothic mouldings. Each corner of the entrance-porch will be supported by an octagonal tower, or rather buttress, terminating in a pinnacle. Between each window in the side s of the building will be placed flying-buttresses . . . At the northern gable there will be a neat little bell-turret.” [Register 11 Jan 1856]
“On October 23, 1839 . . . in Centenary street, just off Archer street, Mr. Edward Stephens laid the foundation stone of the first Methodist chapel outside the city proper. The ground upon which the building was erected was the gift of Messrs. Neales and Nonmus, who had obtained four one acre sections between Archer and Tynte streets, to the east of O'Connell street. The area was called the 'Centenary Estate,' and was divided into building blocks. To-day, these blocks are regarded as among the most valuable property in North Adelaide, and the site of the present church is very convenient for members of the congregation. Centrally situated, the edifice stands in a commanding position, and from a distance its imposing height, towering above the surrounding buildings, may be seen. It would call for a vivid imagination on the part of the younger generation in the district living amid the growth and bustle of the present day to picture Archer street in the midst of a a wilderness. Yet, so isolated was its position that the erection of the church was postponed for eight years after the laying of the foundation stone, because the site was too far removed from the centres of settlement. . . Soon, afterwards, however, Mr. Giles Abbott, sen., presented another piece of land in Kermode street, which was then the only populated part of North Adelaide. On that spot, after a delay of many months, a small chapel sprang up. The latter sufficed for the needs of the congregation until 1847, by which, time it was evident that a more commodious place of worship was needed. A move was again made to the 'Hill,' or Archer street, but an industrious search failed to bring to light the foundation stone of 1839. After many fruitless quests the task was abandoned, and another stone laid.” [Register 15 Dec 1923]
“The new Wesleyan Chapel at North Adelaide being sufficiently advanced towards completion to admit of its being used for public worship, it was opened for that purpose on Sunday last. . . The chapel is 45 feet by 25 feet in the inside, and will accommodate about 250 sitters.” [South Australian 22 Oct 1847]

For a bunch of reasons, this morning was the first time in about two months that I've ventured out with my camera. I've been missing it immensely.
I think the thing I miss the most is the sense of clarity - almost insight - gained by looking through the viewfinder. Like the seeing stone in the "Spiderwick Chronicles", it reveals aspects of reality I don't normally see (mind you, my experience of reality looking through the lens is much less mystical than experienced by those in the movie!).
My focus is drawn into the moment and boxed in by the bounds of the viewfinder. Like the proverbial horse wearing blinkers, my reality is modified. I'm drawn into an artistic rendering of my surrounding world.
But at the same time, it's more real than anything I otherwise experience. It's a connection... with God... the Universe... nature. Call it what you want, the labels don't matter, it's the connection that's important.
To quote Aristotle, "The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance, and this, and not the external manner and detail, is true reality."
Now if I could just find a Hog Goblin to spit in my eyes and give me the "The Sight"...!!
Here is my modem and my router for my internet. I have got to have my internet for all my connections. 9/21/12

Kermit as he is singing his song "Rainbow Connection" sitting on a floating log in a swamp.
This scene recreates te opening of the first movie of the Muppets "The Muppet Movie" from 1979.
This is my own original creation, inspired by my affection for the Muppets.
Built over a period of one and a half years using thousands of parts. The exact number of parts: I don't know.
Total height is 56 cm.
Kermit is built using mainly Bright Green pieces wich I now dub "Kermit Green". Regular Green would have been too dark.
Though Bright Green is the perfect shade of green for Kermit it has the disadvantage that is not a much used colour in LEGO sets so getting it in large quantities was one of the challenges for this project.
Another challenge was getting the right rounded shapes of Kermit's head and body. A lot of SNOT techniques were used to accomplish this.
Other features include posable hands, a water lily and a banjo.
To ensure that Kermit is firmly attached to the log and cannot fall off, I devised a special locking mechanism. To release Kermit press on his belly, just behind his banjo. This will release a pin in his back which you can then pull out. Then Kermit can be lifted off his log. To attach him back to his log just set him back an re-insert the pin fully. The pin will then fit seamlessly and invisibly.
Everything is 100% original LEGO. Even the strings on the banjo.
There are no building instructions yet, but if enough people are interested I can make them. Just let me know.
