"Dec. 24, 1841
I want to go soon and live away by the pond, where I shall hear only the wind whispering among the reeds. It will be success if I shall have left myself behind.
But my friends ask what I will do when I get there. Will it not be employment enough to watch the progress of the seasons?

Ehemaliges Arbeitsamt Dessau, heute Ordnungsamt, Entwurf von Walter Gropius, gebaut 1928-29. Die Beleuchtung erfolgt über das Flachdach mit Sheddachaufsätzen – ein schwebendes Glasdach! Stahlskelettbau, die Statik wurde von einem Ingenieur der Junkers-Werke berechnet. Modernste Technik der damaligen Zeit (z.B. Heizungsanlage), auch im Bauhaus und den Meisterhäusern, stammte von den Junkers-Werken Dessau.
„Die Architektur unterstreicht die Funktionswege, auch wenn die Wartezimmer aus glasierten Ziegeln und die Abfertigungsmechanismen etwas an ein Melkkarussell erinnern. Gleichwohl ist es ein Haus der kurzen Wege, das die Betroffenen möglichst schnell wieder aus ihrer belastenden Situation befreien wollte.“
Former employment office Dessau, today public order office, designed by Walter Gropius, built 1928-29. The lighting was made via the flat roof with shed roof attachments - a floating roof! Steel skeleton construction, the statics was calculated by an engineer of the Junkers factory. State-of-the-art technology of the time (for example heating system), also in the Bauhaus and the Master Houses, came from the Junkers factory Dessau.
"The architecture emphasizes the function paths, even though the glazed brick waiting rooms and the check-in mechanisms are reminiscent of a milking carousel. Nevertheless, it is a house of short distances, which wanted to free the unemployed as soon as possible from their stressful situation."

Located north of Center City, the Richmond Power Generating Station (1924-25) was built and operated by the Philadelphia Electrical Company (PECO). Designed by Chief PECO engineer W.C.L Eglin and architect John Torrey Windrim, it has a Turbine Hall 125 feet high featuring an arched ceiling as the choice of Beaux-Arts Neoclassical designed deliberately chosen by PECO.
"It looks like the temple for steampunk." commented by Aaron Wunsch, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
With two of its four turbo-generator units installed and twelve of its 24 planned boilers put into place, the station was generating 100,000 kilowatts of electricity a year.
In 1935, a third unit rated at 165 MW (by Westinghouse) was installed; it was powered by two pulverized coal-fired boilers that gave it an effective rating of 135 MW.
In 1951, a fourth unit, rated at 185 MW was added; it ran at a steam pressure of 1200 psi (as opposed to 400 psi). Also, it was hydrogen-cooled instead of air-cooled like the other units.
Over time, technology, the environment, and politics changed, and this coal-fed behemoth was converted to gas with Philadelphia’s clean-air act in the 1970s. The station was ultimately retired in 1985, during a period when Philadelphia’s population, industry, and employment were at all-time lows.
Since this time, the historic buildings have been closed, though accessed occasionally as sets for movies like “Transformers 2” and “Twelve Monkeys” (how that psychotherapy was originated).

Old Provincial Museum built in (1892-1893) now Employment Centre located on Ductworth Street in the City of St. John's on the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland and Labrador Canada
The Old Provincial Museum is a large Classical Revival brick and sandstone building located at 285 Duckworth Street in downtown St. John’s, NL. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building.
The Old Provincial Museum was designated a municipal heritage structure by the City of St. John’s because it has aesthetic, historic and cultural values.
The Old Provincial Museum has aesthetic value because it is architecturally unique in St. John’s. Built in classical revival style, the front façade of the building bears a strong resemblance to the Roman triumphal arch. Two large brick end towers flank the central sandstone arch and frieze, and each tower is topped with a copper roof dome. Each end tower has a series of stone banding, with two bands near the top, one at the middle and one at the bottom. The towers are punctuated by a single window in each and they are decorated with a stone sill and a single stone keystone above each. More remarkably, the sandstone frieze that graces the front of the building features important icons of Newfoundland’s identity and history. Manufactured in England in 1907 the stone components are 8.5m by 2.1m, and occupy pride of place over the lintel of the main doorway. Above the arch and frieze are three side by side windows and above them is a balustrade. The whole effect is a balanced and symmetrical appearance. The main door has been modernized with glass and metal, but it encompasses the entire stone arch opening with a large half circle window at the top. The archway has a keystone and it features stone supports that span the opening: one horizontal and two vertical.
The Provincial Museum is historically valuable because of its age, having been constructed in 1907 – the same year that the colony of Newfoundland was conferred dominion status. The front facade features a frieze depicting icons of Newfoundland. The central section features the Royal Coat of Arms, sculpted figures and mottos taken from the Grand Seal of Newfoundland. The scene depicts Mercury, God of Trade and Merchandise, presenting to Britannia (representing Britain) a kneeling fisherman offering a catch of newly harvested fish. Britannia also carries a shield embossed with an image of the British flag and a trident. Mercury, in keeping with his role as messenger of the gods and protector of trade and merchants, carries a caduceus, a wand entwined with serpents, capped with wings. This symbolizes commerce, travel and communication. The mottos are highly significant, “Haec tibi dona fero” (I bring you these gifts), symbolizes the wealth of the fishery resource Newfoundland provided for the British Empire at that time. “Terrae Novae” (for or of Newfoundland) indicates the museum’s role of keeping important items of Newfoundland heritage for the benefit of Newfoundlanders. Scenes showing other aspects of Newfoundland’s resource wealth are featured on either side of the central section. To the left is a section devoted to the importance to the lumber industry, while on the right is shown a mining scene.
It is also historically valuable because it was once the provincial museum. The museum opened in 1911, under the directorship of James Howley – Newfoundland’s second director of the Geological Survey. Howley died on January 1, 1918, and the museum went without a director for some time. The Museum appears to have closed in the late 1920s, as a reopening was announced for May 1928. The Museum was closed to the public in October 1930 due to significant leaks in the roof. The Commission of Government years were the darkest in the Museum’s long history, as it was totally shut down for many years and its collections dispersed. In 1946, responsibility for the Museum was transferred to the Department of Home Affairs. The Public Libraries Board moved to the lower floors of the Museum building and the top floor served as exhibit space. In 1955, “An Act respecting the Preservation of Historic Objects” assured the Museum’s provincial status and it reopened in 1957. In 1971, the entire building was made available for exhibits. In 1976 the Museum closed for major reconstruction – reopening in 1979. In 2005, the provincial museum was moved to The Rooms.

"...it's off to work you go." (inside sentiment). This card is for a friend who got a job after 15 months of unemployment! I normally don't think of critters or bling to be an appropriate "manly" card, but couldn't resist here and it was the only idea that kept coming back to me.
The clouds are from the Precious Baby Boy set. I was inspired by Jenn B. to create a tone on tone sky background, but since I don't have that stamp, I just used the cut out clouds from my sentiment, flipped them face down onto the kraft in various places, then brayered over with ink. The grid pattern on the clouds is from a Cornish Heritage Farms stamp. I drew the tools, stamped the handles with woodgrain, then colored and cut out. I drew a miner's hat and added a gem for the light. Thanks for looking!

Spectre gave a deep sigh.
“What’s wrong?” asked Fuen.
“Been diagnosed with multiple personality disorder,” said Spectre. “So I phoned my boss to tell him I’d need some time off.”
“And?” inquired Fuen.
Spectre sighed again. “I said you’re self-employed, you silly sod.”

This is one of those odd scenes that you can capture only in winter. The low midday sun angle combined with a massive light reflection from a recent snowfall illuminating the face of the building even with intense backlighting. It wasn't even a photo I intended to take in the first place. I was photographing in an adjacent cemetery on a freezing cold day. I gravitated toward this magnificent old building, an odd blend of Gothic and Greek Revival architecture. The sun was shining obliquely through a sort of greasy layer of high clouds that sucked most of the color and vibrance from the sky. I took a couple of steps back, just enough so that the sun emerged from behind the roof line and the rays shot out as if from behind the moon during an eclipse. Great lens flare potential (not to mention lighting up every speck of dust on my image sensor). What I love about the scene is the dichotomy of the heroic sun flare combined with the intensely gritty look of the facade. In normal lighting the building presents a monolithic surface of white paint. But in this light, every nuance of architectural detail is revealed, along with that forlorn star ornament, the kind of Christmas decoration that remains all year long. The lighting is extremely unflattering yet oddly compelling. Puts me in mind of paparazzi photos you often see on the covers of tabloid magazines (while waiting in line at the grocery checkout as your eyes seem to dart across every thing within view)) showing celebrities in terrible poses, harsh lighting, distraught, weird facial expressions, whatever supports the storyline. As photographers, we largely control the context of presentation. Beyond that are the myriad ways we choose to interpret our subjects. And how that interpretation is subject to change from day to day, based on mood and available lighting. I drove past this place recently around the same time of day. I noticed that the sun would not even appear in the frame from this angle as it's now much higher in the sky. The snow had since melted, and without the reflected light, the facade was pitched into deep shadow. Seasons have changed and everything appears in a new light now.
...the feeling that you’ve got to be everlastingly fighting and hustling, that you’ll never get anything unless you grab it from somebody else, that there’s always somebody after your job, that next month or the month after they’ll be reducing staff and it’s you that’ll get the bird – that, I swear, didn’t exist in the old life....
Commentary.
Trains, cars, buses,
lorries, ferries, fishing boats,
walkers, cruise ships,
tourists and day-trippers sightseeing,
locals shopping and photographers,
come and go around this popular port.
Such is Oban.
Gateway to the Highlands and Islands,
this key ferry port hustles and bustles
but doesn’t seem to rush.
Nearby, even an airfield allows small plane visits.
The small fishing port grew because of the employment of a brewery.
A bigger fishing port grew because of the coming of the railway bringing wealthy Victorians with a fascination for the wild, remote, romantic scenery.
This largely Victorian community grew to serve the tourists, as it still does.
Thousands visit as a link to other places.
But if you linger, Oban has a wonderful charm of its own and vistas to the islands that are spectacular, especially at sunset.

Robert Little, Crown Solicitor for Moreton Bay, and later, the Colony of Queensland, bought almost fourteen acres here in April 1875. Almost immediately he commissioned this large brick double-storey residence on a site with commanding views. In October Little married for a second time. His new wife Eliza Bramston, was the sister of State Attorney-General, Sir John Bramston.
Whytecliffe was designed prominent architect Francis Drummond Greville Stanley in 1875 - 1876. Scottish trained Stanley migrated to Queensland in 1861, and in 1863 was appointed Clerk of Works to the Colonial Architect Charles Tiffin. By 1873 Stanley had been appointed Colonial Architect, already responsible for a body of work incorporating significant public buildings as well as numerous design competition wins. As early as 1869 Stanley's success in winning competition and private commission was causing a deal of resentment in the private sector. Eventually, in April 1876, in response to complaints from architects James Cowlishaw, John Hall and Richard Gailey, Stanley was directed to limit his private work to competition entries only. He had a number of private commissions underway at the time as he sought permission to complete his private work at hand. These jobs included Whytecliffe, as well as the Fortitude Valley Holy Trinity Church, Toowoomba School of Arts and the Bowen Park Exhibition Building. Despite the problems caused by his mixing private commissions with his public employment, Stanley was highly esteemed by his professional peers, and is the best known of Queensland's architects due to the quality, diversity and extent of his work.
Whytecliffe was constructed by builder John Petrie. Given the proximity of Petrie's brickyards just to the south, it seems likely that the bricks for the house were locally made. Petrie excavated large water tanks to supply the house and stables, and also blasted cellars into the solid rock under the kitchen wing.
The successful completion of the Ipswich-Brisbane rail line in 1876 encouraged those desiring a rail link to Sandgate to press their claims. After consideration of several alternative routes, the government in 1880 approved a line running from Roma Street, through Albion, and northeast terminating at Sandgate. The contract was awarded to George Bashford & Co. and the line was formally opened on the 10th of May 1882. Regular services began the next day.
During the 1880s mass migration brought about a massive increase in Brisbane's population. The northern commuter rail line between Roma Street and Sandgate was at least partly responsible for the increase in popularity of inner northern suburbs such as Albion. During the 1890s the number of people travelling to the city from Albion, Mayne, Wooloowin, Eagle Junction, Clayfiel, and Hendra more than doubled. By the turn of the century tram services linked Albion with Clayfield and the City (via Breakfast Creek and Newstead).
By the time Robert Little died in 1890 Albion and surroundings were well-populated, residential suburbs. However, the Whytecliffe Estate, stretching down to Frodsham Street (then called Alice Street) remained intact for another two decades. Little's widow moved out of Whytecliffe and the house was then let to a succession of tenants. The Brisbane High School for Girls (later Somerville House) used the house as a boarder's residence from around 1899 until 1903; and in 1906 the house was converted into a boarding house by lessee Mrs Genevera Hartley Rosendorf.
In 1911 Little's son, Robert Vincent Boyle Little, began to subdivide the large land holding, over the next seven years selling off almost forty blocks ranging in size from sixteen perches up to almost half an acre. Mrs Rosendorf subsequently added several cottages and garages to the grounds. The house continued to offer accommodation until the outbreak of the Second World War.
Post-war, the house continued as a boarding house, as well as offering reception and catering services. In 1959 Archbishop Duhig bought Whytecliffe and made a personal gift of the house to the Christian Brothers. The house was then renovated to be used as a monastery for the Brothers.
At the end of 1996 the Albion campus of St. Columban’s was closed, the school reopening at Caboolture in 1997. Forest Place Ltd acquired the entire school site in 1999 for development of a retirement village. School buildings erected by the College during the three decades following the Second World War were removed, O’Driscoll Hall adapted for use as a community facility in 2001 and several new buildings constructed.

The original photo was taken in Alaska's Glacier Bay. Photoleap was used to add elements of other photos that I have taken to this image.
Note: Sheboygan's iconic "Chimney Sweep" is no more. The sweep has been taken down and the chimney will soon be dismantled. This will definitely create a gap like a missing front tooth whenever I look out my balcony window. My hope is that the art piece in part will be relocated within the city or placed in our Art Preserve.

Well, it looks as if I won't be doing the wedding reception after all. My uncle has just slipped into a coma, and I will probably be out of town in the near future.
If any one of you local people (in the Chicago area) are interested in doing this reception, it's in Lake Geneva in Wisconsin on October 4. Please contact me via flickr email and send me your contact information and price you would like to charge, and I can send it on to these people.
Again, many thanks to all of you for your wonderful suggestions and encouragement.

The 148th Fighter Wing conducted an Agile Combat Employment, ACE, exercise November 17-19, 2021. ACE is a concept that enables flying units to quickly deploy personnel and jets to remote or degraded environments with a much smaller blueprint. Pilots, aircraft maintenance personnel, fuels specialists, communications personnel and security forces simulated a deployment to a remote airfield with limited infrastructure. Airmen established new workspaces and infrastructure with limited equipment and time. Exercises like these enable Airmen to plan, problem solve and think critically while launching, recovering and maintaining the Wing’s F-16 fighter aircraft.
