My title here is suggestive of a prison. In the middle of this courtyard is indeed a lovely Victorian garden, but there is still a relatively large space that would allow a significant number of people to exercise.
This idea is not so far removed from the historical facts (and Victoria's largest high security juvenile prison is in fact a literal stone's throw away behind razor wire). There is even a photograph on this link that shows "Female inmates in 1928" [Royal Park: from parklands to a home: 1840s-1920s] www.thermh.org.au/about/about-rmh/our-history/history-roy...
Now of course they weren't strictly prisoners, but those destitute and under the care of the state were certainly institutionalised in a way that we no longer find acceptable.
So in a nutshell, the land was purchased in 1858 to form an experimental farm. The farm ultimately came to nothing and in 1875 an Industrial School for Girls was set up. Might I suggest that the term "Industrial" here has much in keeping the with term "Female Factory" in Van Dieman's Land (Tasmania) in the first half of the 19th century. These young women were essentially wards of the state.
In 1880 the girls were moved into foster homes and young males were moved into the buildings on the same conditions. This didn't last long. The rest of the story is best summarised from the history supplied by the RMH:
"By 1881, the boys had been removed and the Royal Park Industrial School buildings were left vacant. In July 1882, the site and buildings were given to the Immigrants’ Aid Society by the government for use as a home for houseless and destitute persons. At this time, the Male Division of the Society was relocated from St Kilda Road to Royal Park.
In 1914, the remaining operations, including female and child inmates, were transferred from St Kilda Road to Royal Park.
The change in name of the Society to Victorian Homes for Aged and Infirm, in 1902, was followed by another in 1925, to Victorian Benevolent Home and Hospital for the Aged and Infirm. By this time the majority of inmates no longer represented a range of ages, but were primarily elderly. This constituted the true start of geriatric care for the institution." www.thermh.org.au/about/about-rmh/our-history/history-roy...
So it is not an exaggeration to say that the space in this photograph was indeed at one time an exercise yard.

Olympus OM-10 with Zuiko f1.8/50mm and manual adapter, Jessops KB100 (Efke KB17) expired 04/1996 @40 in D-76 1+1 for 6min. 20C
Although Jessops rated this film as ISO 100 it is Efke KB17 (ISO 40). I rated it at Efke' s speed and the results are really good, no fog in the base, no loss of speed and the tones are splendid.. not bad for a film that has been expired for 24 years.
Lots of time at home to catch up with unfinished stuff.

Playing with my granddaughter - what a wonderful imagination she has! Hop on were going for a fantasy ride!
Whenever you feel that your level of job satisfaction is far from optimum, please think about that person.
Sometimes they need to come out. Letting them exercise inside is rubbish. They tend to leave all the weighty stuff around inside and care not for how you feel, and well, that just weighs you down.
Best to let them exercise.
Yup
Maybe you’d like to buy Mr Flibble’s book too? That would be splendid.

An APC Type B and an IFV Type 1 on exercise Hippogriph. In the background can be observed two army paratroopers and three assault storm troops of the Marine corps. The APC type B is a stripped down version of the venerable though now aged BMP-1 a design of Democrastani origin that serves in many of the Republics military branches.
The IFV Type 1 is a BMP-1 that has been up armed and armoured to suit heavier fighting conditions, and provide rugged fire support against tougher foes.
It must also be noted not all variants come equipped with the ERA and slat armour found on the version pictured here.
Full fluff to come later. (flickr broke on my first upload so the lore was lost, RIP)
Credit again to the wonderful BMP-1 Chassis this is based on.
When I first stopped to talk with the girls I commented on the rain drops on Annie’s lenses. They looked like twinkly gems to match the stud above the left frame.
Todays exercise was deferred until this evening and the passage of an STP 3Q06. Having run on 1Z74 from Tonbridge West Yard in the afternoon the pair proceded to run an 18:13 Derby RTC to Derby RTC via Barnsley and Wakefield. According to the timings this is restricted to run at 30 mph from Wincobank Junction to Wakefield Kirkgate and back.

The approach signa appears to be getting lost in the trees.

A pair of F-5E Tiger II fighters from the 64th Aggressor Squadron fly over Las Vegas on their way to the Nevada Test and Training Range. Under the auspices of the United States Air Force Warfare Center at Nellis AFB, the RED FLAG exercises are very realistic aerial war games conducted four times a year. The purpose is to train pilots and other flight crew members from the U.S., NATO and other allied countries for real air combat situations.

I've re-rendered the F-5E since Wayne was awesome enough to run me through the basics in Blender and GIMP. It's Flag season anyway, so it fits!
