The artwork was created by artist Michael Trainor and is reputed to be the world’s biggest Mirror Ball being 6metres in diameter. The mirror ball is covered with 47,000 mirror tiles, and rotates in a full circle once a minute.

 

The artist was inspired by and named the work after the 1969 Hollywood film ‘They Shoot Horses Don’t They?’ which features a large Mirror Ball. It was originally installed in 2002, as one of a series of commissioned artworks known as The Great Promenade Show.

 

Quebec, CANADÀ 2024.

 

The Notre-Dame-de-la-Victoire Church (Our Lady of Victory) is a small but historic Catholic parish church located in the famous Place Royale in Quebec City's Lower Town (Ville Basse).

 

Historical Significance: It is the oldest stone church in all of North America, having been initially constructed in 1688.

 

The Name: Its history is tied to French military victories. It was originally named Notre-Dame-de-la-Victoire after the British fleet led by William Phips was forced to retreat in 1690. It was renamed Notre-Dame-des-Victoires in 1711 after another British fleet was destroyed by a storm.

 

Architecture: Although the church was almost entirely destroyed during the siege of the city by the British in 1759, it was rebuilt using some of the original walls. Its interior features altarpieces and paintings that recount its history.

 

Atmosphere: Its location in Place Royale, surrounded by stone houses from the French era, underscores its role as the spiritual heart of the Lower Town.

From the cold winter of the last photo to the hot summer: thermal features of Yellowstone

 

"The Lower Geyser Basin is the largest geyser basin in area, in Yellowstone National Park. It covers approximately 11 square miles. By comparison, the Upper Geyser Basin only covers about one square mile. Because of its large size, the thermal features in the Lower Geyser Basin tend to be clumped in widely spaced groups. The easiest grouping to get to and probably the most interesting to explore is the Fountain Paint Pot area."

These low hills contrast fairly sharply with the quite flat terrain of the far northern ND prairie. This is an area where these glacial features are more common.

This image depicts an old window on a side façade of the Chiesa della Madonna del Carmine in Noto, Sicily. The window features wooden shutters, weathered with time, and painted in a dark brown color, now peeling and revealing layers of history. The surrounding wall is textured and aged, with warm, earthy tones that complement the rustic appearance of the window. The shutters are partially open, allowing a glimpse of the barred interior window, covered with a light curtain.

 

Noto, a city in southeastern Sicily, is renowned for its exquisite Baroque architecture. Rebuilt in the 18th century after a devastating earthquake in 1693, Noto is often referred to as the "Capital of Baroque." Its streets are lined with elegant palaces, churches, and buildings that showcase the grandeur of Sicilian Baroque style. The Chiesa della Madonna del Carmine, like many other structures in Noto, exemplifies this architectural brilliance with its intricate facades and artistic details.

 

The city's historic center has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attracting visitors from around the world who come to admire its beauty and rich cultural heritage. Noto's architecture is characterized by its harmonious proportions, intricate stone carvings, and the use of local golden limestone, which gives the buildings their distinctive, warm glow. This window, with its timeworn charm, is a testament to the enduring beauty and craftsmanship that defines Noto's architectural legacy.

At the Sculpture Out Back exhibition in Roma, what a wonderful work this is. I wish I could show you more close ups inside these wonderful old cars, made out of bits and pieces. They are really humorous. A classic title and Australian scene, this sculpture would work anywhere and hopefully ends up where it can be rightfully enjoyed by many. This type of work would be a stand out in exhibition at the 2030 Olympics. It sold for $35000 and I can confidently say it was worth every cent. The next shot is a close up of one of the ladies at the front.

 

Words taken from the work's description -

 

The sculpture is by Slim Humphries and Grace Gray. It is a tribute to everyday life in the Maranoa (directly, the area around Roma and Mitchell on the Maranoa River in south western Queensland. The federal electorate of Maranoa extends west of Toowoomba south to the NSW border, west to the South Australian border and right up into central western Queensland. In fact, it is the largest in land area in the state and three times the size of the state of Victoria).

 

The work features a classic 1950's tow truck driver hauling out a 1924 Oldsmobile, with some help! It is a celebration of Aussie bush character, it honours the Outback by making people smile.

Heydar Aliyev Centre, Baku, Azerbaijan

 

I'm pretty sure that everyone who reads this will have their own bucket list of goals and objectives, whether it be personal milestones or achievements, or a simple wish list of exotic places to visit... I'm sure you'll all have one tucked away somewhere. Anyone who hasn't or says they've completed theirs simply lacks imagination or isn't trying hard enough!

 

My own list is forever changing and growing and admittedly travel features heavily throughout it. One of my earliest ambitions was to fly on a jumbo jet, fly all the way around the world and visit Australia. I was lucky enough to do all three when I married Mrs R some 22 years ago... we still want to repeat those tick box items all over again... and some day hopefully we will!

 

I always wanted to go to Sydney to see the bridge and the Opera House. But like most things to see on the telly or in glossy travel magazines, nothing compares to seeing it for yourself and both have fuelled my interest in bridges and architecture ever since. I've always regarded the Sydney Opera House as the greatest 20th century architectural icon, so recognisable throughout the world and the benchmark for modern design. I'm sure architects will disagree and point out plenty of other icons but for me it's my icon.

 

But like I said, my list is forever changing and growing and there's a new kid on the block now - the Heydar Aliyev Centre. It's been on the list for six years and my sole reason for visiting Baku this year, which exceeded all expectations as well. I've plenty more to write about this building but for now I hope it's stirred a little interest.

This bronze statue features King Edward VII in uniform on horseback. It stands on a sandstone plinth featuring relief panels showing allegorical figures. It is located on the corner of Macquarie and Bridge Streets, opposite the Conservatorium of Music. Within a few days of King Edward’s death a proposal was presented to the Lord Mayor of Sydney for the erection of a memorial to the late King in the soon-to-be constructed National Capital. This proposal, however, came to nothing, and it was another 12 months before the first steps were taken towards erecting the memorial in Sydney. The sculptor Thomas Brock (1847-1922) was one of Britain’s most prominent sculptors of the era. He is best known for his public monuments and statuary in London, especially the Victoria Memorial Buckingham Palace. R_11717

Our recent trip started with a few days along the gulf coast of Texas, wintering grounds for many bird species. We ended the excursion spending some time in the Chihuahuan Desert and Chisos Mountains of Big Bend National Park. This shot was taken on a cold clear morning along the road from Panther Junction to Rio Grande Village and features some of the grasses and prickly pear cacti of the desert and a nice view of the Chisos Mountains.

In addition to the temple's famous building, the property features wooded grounds covered with a variety of mosses. This Japanese garden was supposedly designed by the great landscape artist Sōami.

In the later periods of Japanese garden history, fine stones were transported from a ruined or impoverished garden to a new one. According to the book Landscape design: A Cultural and Architectural History by Elizabeth Barlow Rogers, "In 1474, following his retirement from the shogunate, Yoshimasa (1436-1490), had some of the stones and pine trees of the Flowery Palace and Muromachi Hall, both of which had been devastated by civil warfare, removed to his villa retreat at the base of Higashiyama (the Eastern Hills). There he lived from 1438 until his death, when the villa was converted to the Zen temple, Jisho-ji, or Ginkakuji (the Temple of the Silver Pavilion), as it is better known."

The Zen culture is not entirely represented in this garden because it was financed by the shogunate as a retreat and the primary use was aesthetic enjoyment. Instead of being designed by and for the use of monks, practitioners of zazen, or seated meditation.

Ginkakuji was constructed in relation to its surroundings. This is described in the Journal of Asian Studies by Ichito Ishida and Delmer M. Brown, "The southeast corner of the first floor has openings in the walls, since a pond is located on that corner of the building, beyond which the moon rises between the peaks of Higashiyama. And since a lake extending northeastward reflected light that suffices even for reading, the room on the northeast corner has been planned as a library. Therefore, the natural objects do not merely surround the building, twisting it out of shape but supply intrinsic motivation for the structural design." The sand garden of Ginkaku-ji has become particularly well known; and the carefully formed pile of sand which is said to symbolize Mount Fuji is an essential element in the garden.

The scene is dominated by the derelict Five Ways Tower. This notorious monstrosity has been abandoned for 18 years (due to "sick building" syndrome apparently) and is a seriously ugly blot on Brum's skyline - it needs demolishing!

 

Over to the left of the image is the Joseph Chamberlain Memorial Clock Tower (sometimes known as Old Joe), situated on the campus of the University of Birmingham. Old Joe is the tallest free standing clock tower in the world, and stands about 100m tall. It was built between 1900 and 1908, is Grade II listed, and is one of the most recognisable features of the Birmingham skyline.

You can never tell what's inside unless you open it...

But please, don't open the people around you... hihihi

Coming from an area (NW Ohio) that is *really* flat, Iowa features a lot of gently rolling farm country and some real hills in places, especially along the Mississippi River. In this view Iowa Interstate's Rock Island heritage unit IAIS 513 leading BICR-30 is soaring above N Division Street in Davenport Iowa as it really starts to attack the climb up the hill you can see in the background. While the road runs straight up it, the railroad twists and turns its way northwest until it mounts the hills along the big muddy and strikes off across the gently rolling countryside to Iowa City, Des Moines and Omaha. 8/31/2024

This shot features a beautiful golden glowing sunset out to sea at Nth Stradbroke Island (Australia), from a vantage point that also embraces a so-called and unusual "postmodern" beach house. It well contrasts with the sunset as an interesting silhouette, along with a cloud, that show off both the sunset and house well.

 

Postmodern architecture, by the way, is a style, or movement, which emerged in the late 1950s as a reaction against the austerity, formality, and lack of variety of modern architecture.

The most striking features of Leslie Gulch are the diverse and often stark, towering and colorful geologic formations. The Leslie Gulch Tuff (consolidated volcanic ash), makes up the bulk of these formations. It is a rhyolite ash that erupted from the Mahogany Mountain caldera (a large volcanic depression which encompasses Leslie Gulch) in a series of violent explosions about 15.5 million years ago. Much of the material fell back into the volcano as a gaseous deposit of fine ash and rock fragments up to 1,000 feet thick. About 100,000 years later, volcanic eruptions from the Three Fingers caldera, located several miles to the northeast, deposited another layer of rhyolite tuff in Leslie Gulch. Today, the tuff is beautifully displayed as steep slopes and vertical, honeycombed towers carved over time

We headed down to the Tasmanian east coast last weekend - ostensibly to try out my Nikon F90X film camera. I'll show some of those shots in due course. There is one famous photographer who to this very day absolutely loathes the digital era. But then one can forgive him that prejudice, given that he turns 83 in four days time, and has made a career out of shooting film (over a million and a half photographs) and processing his work with the dye-transfer printing process.

 

As my title suggests I am talking about the Southern gentleman photographer from Memphis, Tennessee, William Eggleston (born 1939). I would hope Eggleston would forgive my taking this shot with a digital camera rather than my film camera. Being unable to access the processing methods used by Eggleston, I have had to make do with a digital approximation. Believe me the difference in colour is enormous. In film, processing is everything and I'm afraid our local lab is not up to the task of matching Eggleston's colour.

 

I hope to come back to William Eggleston at a later date, but when I saw this scene in St Mary's I knew immediately it was one of his favourite themes - the rural gas station. Eggleston's aesthetic features ordinary subject matter and the ugliness of modern life. But he does it in such a way that you feel at home looking at his pictures. One pundit has referred to him as "the greatest worst photographer in the world". www.youtube.com/watch?v=H82hTDctWDo&t=74s

 

William Eggleston grew up in Memphis (and I don't need to tell you how significant this city is in terms of the blues and jazz, not to mention Elvis). And there's a element of jazz-like improvisation in Eggleston's work. He is famous for being the first colour photographer to be given a one-man show at the MoMA in New York in 1976. He is also a rare bird in that he plays piano and has taught at Harvard University (not a combination you expect much from a photographer).

 

So this is my little tribute to a master and Southern gentleman. I highly recommend you looking at these links about his work:

one of the features of "micro four thirds" is the ability to mix and match camera bodies and lenses (and some accessories).

 

OK in this shot an Olympus E-PL3 with a Lumix 14-42 lens taken with a Lumix GX7 with 14mm Lumix lens and an FL50 Olympus flash unit.

The courtyard features an Arabic portico and interlaced arches supported by octagonal pillars, built on the ruins of a 7th-century monastery.

 

Upstairs in the Sorrento International Photo School, the Gallery Celentano exhibits black-and-white photographs of Italian life and landscapes by contemporary local photographer Raffaele Celentano.

Erected in 1928-33, this outstanding Art Deco railroad terminal and bus station was designed by architects Alfred Fellheimer and Steward Wagner. It features mosaic murals by artist Winold Reiss. The structure stands at 1301 Western Avenue and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. In 1977 it was designated a National Historic Landmark.

 

Located at the confluence of the Licking and Ohio rivers in the southwest corner of Ohio, Cincinnati is an historically significant riverport and the anchor of one of the largest metropolitan areas in the Midwestern and Southern U.S. It serves as the seat of Hamilton County, and as of 2020, is the third largest municipality (designated as a city) in Ohio. The southern portion of the metro area extends into northern Kentucky, while the east extends into southeastern Indiana, making Cincinnati an economic hub for three states.

This image features a nuthatch clinging to the side of a tree trunk, with its body angled downward. Nuthatches are skilled climbers, often seen creeping headfirst down tree trunks, a unique behavior among birds.They forage for insects, seeds, and nuts in tree bark crevices, using their sharp beaks to pry food out. Nuthatches are territorial, particularly during the breeding season, and will defend their area vigorously.

They use a variety of calls and postures to communicate with intruders or rivals.

The New Zealand 10 cent coin features a Māori carved mask or Koruru, along with Māori rafter patterns. The 20 cent coin has a Māori 'pukaki' carving and was released in 1990. The 50 cent coin shows the barque ship Endeavour by Captain Cook, sailing south with Mt Taranki behind. It would have passed by Mt Taranaki, early in 1770, as it sailed down to Ship Cove in the South Island after first anchoring in Turanganui (Poverty Bay) in the North Island.

I had a bit of a search to find coins to photograph. With electronic payments becoming the everyday method for financial transactions, physical currency is used less and less in our country. New Zealand adopted digital banking and payments very early in the 1980's, although actual money was still being used widely, until 1999 when online banking was more strongly adopted. Then with Covid and not wanting to touch things that have passed through many hands, electronic payments became way more prevalent. All banks in the area I live in, have long closed their branches and everything is managed online. I certainly don't carry currency in my wallet. 💲

The county features a wonderful sampling of classic barns. This is one example taken during a dramatic sunrise. Bellingham, Washington, USA.

From approximately 220 miles above Earth, one of the Expedition 26 crew members aboard the International Space Station took this photo of the Manicouagan Crater in northern Canada (Quebec), one of the oldest impact craters known. According to scientists, the feature was formed about 200 million years ago. The present day terrain supports a hydroelectric reservoir in the telltale form of an annular lake. The crater itself, say scientists, has been worn away by the passing of glaciers and other erosional processes. Still, the hard rock at the impact site has preserved much of the complex impact structure and so allows scientists a leading case to help understand large impact features on Earth and other solar system bodies.

Yabba is the name of a number of geographical features in southeast Queensland: a river, a major waterfall, a road, a street, a valley, a range, a mountain and a forest. However, it originates from an aboriginal name for this flower and the deciduous tree that bears the flowers.

A 19th century grazier, Alexander Swanson, took up land on a plateau about 120 kms NNW of Brisbane, and in inquiring of local indigenous men of the Baiyambora clan, what the name of the distinctive and attractive tree was, he was told "Yabba". He thus named his sheepstation, "Yabba". In the early years, there were various spellings of the word such as Yabber, Yapper and Yappa, but as B and P are not differentiated in their language this is understandable. The name became fixed as "Yabba". As Swanson's "Yabba" was sited beside an unnamed river, the name was applied to it and its valley, and the track from "Yabba" to "Imbil", the next station 45 kms downstream, became the Yabba Road. Over the 175 years since Swanson took up his "run", the property has progressively been broken up into several grazing properties and much of his run is now either national park or state forest. As a result of family inheritance "Yabba" has been divided into "Yabba" and "Old Yabba", the latter containing the site of Swanson's original station.

The Yabba tree, Brachychiton discolor, is a unique tree. It is an Australian native that is deciduous shedding its leaves in mid-summer. Further, when in flower during the period when it lacks leaves, the flowers drop from the tree around the end of each day, and each morning a new flush of flowers appear. As it grows in riverine forests, its fallen flowers are often seen floating on the stream. In this photo, the Yabba flowers are floating on a tributary of Yabba Creek.
