Early morning at the Port of Echuca, Victoria. A popular tourist attraction mainly for the paddle steamers on the Murray River.
As written on the plaque at this site:
Jacob
The Circle Dray Horse
The famous Courage dray horses were stabled on this site from the early 19th century and delivered beer around London from the brewery in Horselydown Lane by Tower Bridge.
In the 16th century the area became known as Horselydown which derives from ‘Horse-lie-down’, a description of working horses resting before crossing London bridge into the City of London.
Jacob was commissioned by Jacob’s Island Company and Farlane properties as the centrepiece of The Circle to commemorate the history of the site. He was flown over London by helicopter into Queen Elizabeth Street to launch The Circle in October 1987.

Seen at Bendigo where once goldminers lived but now there is no one but the occasional photographer.

Dormant dray.
Its working days have long passed and so this dormant dray is parked in a paddock.
Perhaps it is the shelter that it is afforded by the Norfolk Pines that protect the dray for it is in very good condition.
Today it is a popular spot for tourists who stop and photograph.
Norfolk Island.
Jacob was a famous brewery dray horse for Courage. He delivered beer around London from the brewery on Horselydown Lane (on this site).
The brewery no longer exists and Jacob’s statue was erected in remembrance of him and the brewery.
Spring blossom attracted my attention as I was heading up the A59 to the Dales, so I had to stop to take this shot.
The life-size artwork weighing 2.5 tons is sited on a special cobbled area at the entrance of the new Thwaites Brewery HQ at the Sykes Holt complex near Mellor Brook.
It features Thwaites current Shires Wainwright and Gunner pulling a brewery dray as used to happen with beer deliveries round the streets of Blackburn. The sculpture, created from 600 pieces of steel and eight metres long by 3.8m high.
It was created by South Lakeland sculptor Andrew Kay at his workshop near Kirkby Lonsdale, over two months after he visited Blackburn to measure up his equine subjects.

I'm stampolina and I love to take photos of stamps. Thanks for visiting this pages on flickr.
I'm neither a typical collector of stamps, nor a stamp dealer. I'm only a stamp photograph. I'm fascinated of the fine close-up structures which are hidden in this small stamp-pictures. Please don't ask of the worth of these stamps - the most ones have a worth of a few cents or still less.
By the way, I wanna say thank you to all flickr users who have sent me stamps! Great! Thank you! Someone sent me 3 or 5 stamps, another one sent me more than 20 stamps in a letter. It's everytime a great surprise for me and I'm everytime happy to get letters with stamps inside from you!
thx, stampolina
For the case you wanna send also stamps - it is possible. (...I'm pretty sure you'll see these stamps on this photostream on flickr :) thx!

I used the original Gorilla Glue to put together a broken, vintage Japanese pot (pic in comments). The sides went together fine, and I let the pot sit for 24 hours to "cure" before trying to put the bottom 3 pieces in place. The bottom, being flat, made it very difficult, and Gorilla Glue was getting everywhere, including all over my hands. I was not wearing gloves, having not needed them the day before.
That was a big mistake. After 20 minutes I gave up trying to get the bottom 3 pieces attached, and went to wash the glue off of my hands. It's not quite that easy, however. My hands were getting tackier and stickier, and I was starting to freak out. Not wanting to use my hands to type (I was sticking to everything) I asked Google Nest about removing Gorilla Glue from the skin. Bad news! Wear gloves! That advice was a little too late. I finally found a site after verbally struggling (fighting, lol) with Google to find helpful info. I found a video of a guy using steel wool to scrub his hands. I didn't have any steel wool, but I did have a new, scrubby sponge.
30 minutes later, my hands red and raw from scrubbing them with the rough side of a sponge, were Gorilla Glue free. As for the pot, the side pieces are firmly in place and the bottom will just have to have a hole in it. I'll just use a drip dray inside and no one will be any wiser.
