Tanunda. The German Heart of the Barossa.
The two early settlements of Langmeil and Tanunda were situated on lands leased in the early days from George Fife Angas in the case of Langmeil and land owned by Charles Flaxman for Tanunda. But from 1844 the government was selling other surveyed land just to the north of Flaxman’s private town. The original village of Langmeil which was settled in 1843 eventually became part of Tanunda. It was based along the banks of the North Para River. The settlement soon had a Lutheran school and church. The first Dankes Lutheran Church of timber and thatch opened in 1846.It was demolished in 1888 when the new Langmeil Lutheran church opened. Pastor Augustus Kavel who was responsible for bringing German migrants to SA for George Fife Angas is buried in the Langmeil churchyard. But Langmeil was not the first Lutheran Church as the Tabor Lutheran church was built in brick in 1850. Now located in the Main Street of Tanunda it was demolished and the bricks were used to erect the 1871 Tanunda Tabor Lutheran Church. Tabor Church marks the emergence of Tanunda (an Aboriginal word for moving waters) as a very German settlement. A German language newspaper the Sud Australische Zeitung began operations in 1855; in later years a German bowling alley was built and the male liedertafel choir began performances in 1861; a brass band (1857) and a later band stand and hall were established in the late 19th century along with the Tanunda Club in 1891. In the main street and surrounds the German butches, bakers and retail stores all began operations from the 1850s. One early structure in Tanunda which was set up by an English man was Edmund Davey’s flour mill of 1850. Davey went on to established flourmills across SA before he died in 1885. The flourmill which still stands indicates that the early settlers were wheat growers rather than vineyard operators. That came later in the 19th century and into the 20th century. The very German heart of Tanunda and Langmeil was the Der Zeigenhart or Goat Square which was used as an early market square. As the second generation of German settlers emerged places like Tanunda become more like a typical rural South Australia town with government facilities. Frist came the Post Office and Telegraph station which opened in 1866 and the classically designed Courthouse which began sentencing in 1866, then came old state government school which opened in 1877 and the railway line which opened in 1911 with its fine stone railway station being completed in 1913. The first agricultural show was held in 1857 and show grounds were developed from 1862. On the outskirts of the town, near the later railway station, Chateau Tanunda was established in 1889 by John Basedow as locally produced wine and spirts became accepted by South Australians and even found a small English market. Basedow joined forces with investors Sir Samuel Davenport, Mrs Cleland and others to raise over £37,000 to build the chateau. When completed in 1890 it was the largest winery building in Australia. The bluestone used in its construction was quarried at Bethany. Although the first vines were planted on the Chateau Tanunda grounds in the late 1840s there was no commercial production of wine until around 1890. From 1916 until 1998 Chateau Tanunda was owned and run by the Seppelt family. In its heyday it was known for its Chateau Tanunda brandy.
Some of the fine historical buildings of Tanunda include:
1. Langmeil Lutheran Church. This 1888 church replaced an earlier 1846 church. The congregation here started as the German heart of the Barossa. By 1857 the greater Langmeil area contained 777 people with 113 families and it included 243 children born in SA. At that time “greater Langmeil” covered almost all of the Barossa Valley. Pastor Kavel was the resident pastor of Langmeil and in 1854 a manse was built for him near the church. Pastor Kavel died in 1860 and was buried in Langmeil cemetery. As the founder of the Lutheran Church in Australia in 1838 a large memorial was erected over his grave in 1938.
2. The old Langmeil Lutheran School. Operations began in 1846. The oldest building is the Kavel Room on the corner of Jane Place which was built in 1865. The school is now the Faith Lutheran College.
3. St Johns Lutheran Church. It was erected in 1868 and the tower and spire was added in 1887. This congregation was formed from a breakaway group from the Langmeil Church in 1860.
4. The Post Office and Telegraph station. Work started in 1865 and it opened in 1866. It is now the town museum. But the first postal service to Tanunda began in the late 1840s.
5. Edmund Davey’s flourmill with the advertisements for Laurel Kerosene on it. The oldest part was built in stone in 1850.
6. The classical style Courthouse built in 1866. It closed many years ago and is now a residence. Court session were held by magistrates in Tanunda from around 1850.
7. The original timber framed St Aiden’s Anglican Church erected in 1912. It closed when the new Anglican Church opened in Murray Street in 1962. It then became a Catholic Church but it is now a Christian Charismatic Church.
8. The Tanunda Club. Established in 1891 and still operating. The local men who pushed for its establishment included John Basedow of Chateau Tanunda and Schrapel a local retailer. They hoped to promote the consumption of Barossa wines and spirts. The old railway station is more or less just behind the Tanunda Club. The railway service closed in 1980 and the restored building is used by the local radio station.
9. St Paul’s Lutheran Church. This relatively recent church was built in 1928 but the congregation began worshipping in 1904 and they used a wood and iron church from 1911 to 1928.
10. Schrapel’s and Sons store. Established in 1884 but the current building so marked dates from around 1900. The family purchased land from the SA government in 1845. They began as general importers of products but ended up being electrical suppliers and electricians. They sold everything from tractors, shoes and furniture to radios (in the 1920s), glassware and drapery etc. They provided the first electricity for Tanunda District Council in 1920. By the 1950s they were primarily a hardware store.
North West- Rieschiek Cottage.North east – the Shoe maker’s House.
11. The cottages of Goat Square. The important little square was laid out in the private town of Charles Flaxman who was the agent of George Fife Angas. For the work he did for Angas he was given several sections of land. This was the centre of Flaxman’s private town and the streets have English names after the children of Charles Flaxman- John, Maria, Charles, Elizabeth, Jane, Samuel and Ellen. Goats were probably sold in the market square hence the name. Around the edges are some of Tanunda’s oldest cottages. They include on the North West corner the impressive red roofed German style shoemaker’s house named Rieschiek; opposite was the saddler’s house. Nearly all of the 1840s cottages are now operated as bed and breakfast establishments with unrelated names such as Flaxman, Kavel and Menge. There is now a modern goat sculpture in the middle of Goat Square.
12. In the Main Street is Tabor Lutheran Church. The first church here was built in brick in 1850. Bricks from this church were used in the construction of the current church in 1871. The tower and bells were added in 1910. The bells were imported from Germany.
13. In the Main Street you will also see the Tanunda Hotel which dates from 1846. The upper floor was added much later. It has been modernised since.
our challenge for this week in 52 weeks was "action blur." i knew it would be a challenge for sure, as june isn't typically as action-packed as her big sister alice. but it there is one thing i can count on june to do, it's barking! i used a slow shutter speed to try to capture the movement of her mouth. i think this turned out okay, but i probably should have used an even slower speed. i think this was 1/160.
after this weekend, i think i have found junie's nickname... the barking blur! she got to go lure coursing for the second time, and she nearly went insane. barking and pulling and barking some more! and running!! really, really fast. i was so lucky that another 52 weeker and her mom (audrey and lynda) were there and took some photos for us (well, lynda took the photos. audrey mostly just looked cute and behaved herself in between chasing that lure!) . unfortunately, they were also subjected to the intensity of june and her mouth.
For years I've wanted to take this photo. I first came to this ford in 2011 but unfortunately, the car park was full and the ford itself was full of kids of a rotund nature playing in the water. I returned a few years later and once again, I arrived and some people with dogs were splashing around.
On this occasion, I was coming here to start a long distance walk and once again, a group of people with dogs were loitering in the shallows. Thankfully, luck was on my side as they moved away in the time it took for us to pack our bags and change over to hiking boots. Before we set off into the hills around Little Glenshee, I was able to end four years of misery by finally getting a photo of this rare road feature.
Una decina di anni fà mia moglie mi chiama dalla stanza dove stavano trasmettendo “bravo bravissimo” un programma condotto da Mike Bongiorno e così resto letteralmente a bocca aperta ascoltando per la prima volta un middle di standard interpretato da un Francesco Cafiso ancora bambino, recentemente ho avuto la fortuna di conoscerlo personalmente e di fotografarlo, la cosa che mi colpisce, oltre il talento, è che quando sale sul palco con il suo sax avviene come una metamorfosi ed escono note piene di forza ed energia creativa.
In questa immagine ho cercato di incidere sul sensore della mia reflex questa sua forza giocando con lo zoom in ripresa!

From last April.
I was never sure how on earth to edit this. The light was so strong. So it's basically unedited. ;)
These creations (many of which you may remember from my stream in the past year) have been outfitted with the newest BrickArms prototypes, and will be available on the Creations for Charity website very soon!
A GREAT BIG THANKS to Will Chapman of BrickArms for his generous donation for these figures!
For trade, I'd like any special brickarms (protos that weren't gifts, camo, freebies, rare colors etc,) and i also have a topic in the lego trading outpost showing my lego wants. comment on these pictures, note, fm, or whatever, but make sure you comment on my group topic so it will stay showing.
FYI, some things i only MIGHT trade, like a few pieces of fire and the force unleashed minifigs.
EVERYONE: if you want to trade, plesae fm ME. i cant remember everyone i fm.
Sadly, my Mom passed away on Dec. 20 and her Service was on January 3. This is one of the flowers from the "Mom" basket that was at the church. For 117 pictures in 2017 no. 47 Petals.
For extended examination, or photography, the turning of a supine snail needs to be prolonged. This can be sometimes done by holding the spire with forceps, but success varies between species and individuals. For example, Peringia ulvae may extend quickly, Littorina littorea is often slow to emerge and retreats at the slightest movement of the forceps, and Nucella lapillus may stay withdrawn for days if it has fed recently.
Other methods of restraint are needed for reluctant extenders. Small species, like P. ulvae, can be held for longer by pushing the spire into a prepared hole in the edge of a small piece of plasticine about 5mm thick. This leaves both hands free for operation of equipment, and allows one to do something else while waiting for the animal to extend. The effort exerted by the animal against the restraint produces an exposure of much more of the body than during a normal turn. Many can shift a piece of plasticine many times their own size, so weigh it down with a piece of lead. Often, after a few minutes, the snail manages to pull itself free, so check frequently for movement. For photography, avoid brightly coloured plasticine as it may reflect unwanted colour onto the specimen.

Yeah... LEGO Fire trucks kinda suck eh?

Thank you Isaac and Ryan for your kind donations and making both this kid (me) as well as other kids very happy this holiday season :)
Over the past year I have been incredibly lucky to cross off many LEGO "must dos" off my bucket list, and one of them was to partake in Creations for Charity - both as a donor (1) (2) and as a purchaser.
Going into the purchase phase I was out to get what I would consider 'iconic' builds of my favorite builders I was very lucky that Ryan put up his crate, it might not have been his most iconic build, but it's iconic to me - as I believe that was the first ever build I saw of his...
And well ... I kinda twisted Isaac's arm to give up one of his prized Firetrucks (And yes you can still borrow this for shows...)
Cheers guys.

This is my 11 stud version of aawsm's slider truck design. This is what I've got under the tender of my not yet complete L&N Pacific. It's geared up (to make it faster) to an XL motor and it's been operating flawlessly for months now. Definitely room for improvement in there, but for a working purist solution, it ain't half bad.

**********************************
For much of my life, I’ve had the bad habit of visiting a new city for a week of intense activity — and, on occasion, even living in a new city for as long as a year — without ever getting to know it. It’s easier than you might think, if you have a set routine: you get up in the morning, you take the same route to school or work, you come home at the end of the day, and that’s that. I think I may have also been slightly warped by the childhood experience of moving every year (17 schools before college), and concluding (perhaps subconsciously) that there was no point really getting to know anything about (or anyone in) the current town, since we’d be moving within a year …
Anyway, I resolved to try harder during a recent weeklong Thanksgiving trip to visit the west coast contingent of my family, which involved our driving from Portland to a rented house in Bend, Oregon — located roughly in the center of Oregon. I had never been in Bend before, and I probably never will be again … but even so, I wanted to get a sense of what the town was all about.
Bend turns out to be the largest town in central Oregon, but its estimated population in 2013 was only 81,236. If you include the surrounding area of “metropolitan Bend,” that number increases to 165,954 — but that still makes it only the fifth largest metropolitan area in Oregon, and probably about the same as an individual neighborhood in New York City.
Compared to NYC, Bend’s recorded history is also much shorter — though that ignores the fact that Native Americans lived in the area for some 12,000 years before fur trading parties arrived in 1824, and succeeding generations of pioneers, intent on pushing further west to the Pacific Coast, forded the Deschutes River at a shallow point known as the “Farewell Bend” — which ultimately gave the town its name (you can blame the U.S. Postal Service for shortening the original name to “Bend”).
Not much happened until 1901, when the Pilot Butte Development Company built a commercial sawmill in Bend; a city was incorporated there in 1904 by a general vote of the community’s 300 residents. From what I can tell, the town then continued to grow, thrive, and prosper for another 30 or 40 years … after which it seems to have stagnated. Walking along Bond Street and Wall Street — the two busiest downtown streets — I saw a number of plaques on the side of buildings indicating that they had all been built in the 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s …
As for today, tourism is probably the most significant economic activities — focused around skiing at Mount Bachelor, and recreational activities around the nearby Cascade Lakes. Bend is also home to the Deschutes Brewery, which is the 6th largest craft brewery in the nation. And the town has hosted on of the top indie film festivals in the nation (the BendFilm Festival) each year since 2004. For whatever it’s worth, much of the town’s growth in recent years is due to its attraction as a retirement destination (I guess there must be a rational explanation for the decision to retire here, perhaps including a low crime rate or a low cost-of-living — but I found the concept quite mind-boggling) …
But none of this explains the look and feel of the houses in the “historical district” a few blocks away from the center of town. This is where my family members and I spent Thanksgiving week, and I walked through several quiet, empty blocks during the few days that it wasn’t raining … and while the photos in this Flickr album will give you some idea of what the houses and people look like, I’m at a loss for words to characterize what’s going on around here.
For one thing, it seems that every house is different. They’re all on tiny lots — probably about 1/4 of an acre — but they’re all different sizes, painted different colors, with different designs and architectures. I’m used to towns where all of the houses in an entire neighborhood are identical, because they were all designed and constructed by the same real-estate developer. And my son pointed out that in Portland, just a few hours away by car, the houses in several neighborhoods may look different from the house next door — but they all fall into five or six basic styles. Not so in Bend: it seems that nobody talked to anyone else, and nobody looked at any other house in the neighborhood, before they came up with their own unique design.
And with one or two exceptions, none of the houses are “modern” in any sense of the word. Many of them remind me of the neighborhoods were I lived as a child in the early 1950s; and I have a strong suspicion that many of them are much older than that, perhaps having been built in the 1920s or 1930s. Like the rest of the town, it seems that everything thrived here until the beginning of the 1940s … and then stopped.
Which then raises another interesting question: who actually lives in these houses today, in late 2014? I really couldn’t tell, because the streets were generally empty. and the only thing I saw through a living room window was a football game on a large TV screen. But I noticed that the cars parked on the street were by no means as old as the houses; most of them appeared to be less than five years old, with many large, modern trucks and Jeeps. There were a few bicycles and other indications of childhood life, along with a significant number of brightly-painted lawn chairs, an occasional barbecue grills (including some big, gas-powered grills on the front porch!), and lots of American flags …
If I had had a little more time or energy, I could have gone into the Deschutes County Museum (housed in what had been a stand-alone school house built in 1914), or perhaps the Town Hall, to learn a little more … but I didn’t.
And so Bend will remain a mystery, as we pack up and drive back to Portland tomorrow morning. And while nobody here will care, or even notice, I will go on record with the following prediction: I won’t be retiring here.

Street Photography advice for the week: "The distance between yourself and others should not be greater than your arm's length." - Christophe Agou
one of my favorite things about my life with you is how we can look at each other and say "wanna go?"... and we get in the car and we go. you are my partner in crime, my other half, my rock. meeting you, quite simply, saved my life.
so here, in front of all these people, i want to thank you for staying, and for being there, always and always and always. you get me, in all my neurotic neediness, and all these years later that still blows me away. your patience, your humor, your willingness to let me be me -- "thank you" doesn't even come close to conveying the gratitude i feel.
but it needs to be said, more often than i have been saying it.
THANK YOU.
oh yeah, and one other thing.
happy birthday, baby.
This is one of the two fans that the late Margo gave me for Christmas a dozen years or so ago at one of Vanity's famous and elegant parties. Leslie Anne gave me the juice from her cabbage so I could make soup with it.

Spring Time in the Malibu Canyons! Nikon D800E Dr. Elliot McGucken Fine Art Photography for Los Angeles Gallery Show!
Yet more photos and more final edits! I was up at 4:30 AM the past four days shooting sunrises! Awesome sunrises over Point Dume thie time of year in Malibu.
Then I spent all day today moving over 75 large photos into the gallery! Most of these are framed and matted with 13"x19" metallic prints and an 18"x24" mat and a 3" wood-grain black frame! They look awesome! Stop on by Bel Air Camera's Gallery downstairs if you are close to UCLA or in Westwood. Give me a head's up, and I will meet you there if I'm free.
I thought I was done a couple days ago for December's LA Gallery show, but art is never done until it's done, and even then. . . Will be busy printing and framing in nice large, matted formats and frames and museum glass! Five of these photos will be printed on 40" x 60" floating wall mounted metal sheets! I think I know which--will share photos of the photos hanging on the walls!
And I am mounting some on plexiglass/acryllic--front mounting them! Some I am printing on lossy fuji-crystal archival paper too, and then front mounting 40"x60" versions to plexiglass--will send photos!
The secret to HDR photography is that you want people to say, "Woe dude--that's unreal!" And not, "Dude--that's not real!" "Unreal" is the word they use when they're trying to figure out the photo--what makes it cool--is it a photo? Is it painted? How'd it come to be--how'd you bend the light that way? "That's not real," is what they say if you have the saturation/HDR/ etc. turned up too high. :)
Some (almost) final edits for December's Los Angeles Gallery Show! Printing them on metallic paper at 13" x 19" and mounting and framing them on a 4mm 18x24 white mat and 2" dark wood frame. Also printing some 40" x 70" whihc is over three feet by five feet! Wish you all could come (and hang out with the goddesses)!
Let me know your favs.!

These were shot with Nikon's best D800 with the 14-24mm wide-angle Nikkor lens. 7 exposures were taken at 1 EV intervals, and combined in photomatix to bring out the shadows and highlights.
Rather large HDR (high dynamic range) photo--you can see great detail both near and far! View the detail at full size!
The Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Nikkor Wide Angle Zoom Lens rocks!
High Dynamic Range (HDR) photos rock in capturing the full dynamic range of the scene!
