I finished off my mackerel, with a selection of vegetables with the cabbage etc.: green beans, carrots, beetroot, broccoli, sweetcorn and carrots. Needless to say, Miss Minnie lent a hand! There was enough for three meals in the pan, so guess what's for lunch tomorrow? Probably with chicken or salmon.

Presume this was also a sales centre showroom for the condos here, back in the day; doesn't show up on GoogleMaps streetview, so pre-2007 (condos date to 2005). There is another structure still around, close by here, on the same lot.

The Beyeler Foundation or Fondation Beyeler with its museum in Riehen, near Basel, owns and oversees the art collection of Hildy and Ernst Beyeler.
Art dealers Ernst Beyeler (*1921) and Hilda Kunz (*1922), known as Hildy, created the Beyeler Foundation in 1982 and commissioned Renzo Piano to design a museum, the Fondation Beyeler, to house their private collection. The collection was first publicly exhibited in its entirety at the Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid in 1989, and was subsequently shown at Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin, (1993) and the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sidney, (1997).
By building Renzo Piano's museum structure in 1997, the Beyeler Foundation made its collection permanently accessible to the public. In 2006, approximately 340,000 persons visited the museum. Hildy Beyeler died on July 18, 2008, and Ernst died on February 25, 2010.

When the foundation of a society is undermined and eroded away, collapse is inevitable.
This photo was taken by a Mamiya 645 Pro TL medium format film camera and Mamiya-Sekor C 45mm 1:2.8 N lens with a Kowa L39•3C(UV) ø67 filter using Kodak Portra 400 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and was digitally rendered with Photoshop.
As we mosied our way to camp, we stopped at the Leiser Ray Mine, These days, there nothing left but the foundation of the stamp mill. We'll take a closer look in the next few days.
The Leiser Ray was primarily a Silver mine with Copper, Gold, Lead, Vanadium, and Zinc as tertiary ores.
"After seeing various successes with the previous Battlefield Manipulation Unit, technicians of the Foundation were instructed by the board of the SF to change certain specifics of the suit. Such specifics were that of the arms: technicians made them more easily able to move, putting less strain on the pilots. The new BMUs were put into mass production after passing inspection from high ranking leaders of the Foundation."

I tweaked it up a little bit. The arms can now do a full 90 degree lift up sideways and are much more pose able. It's a little hard to explain, but just trust me on that ;D
I'll note all the nifty stuff.
Construction, Week 63 (Demolition, Week 3)
Looking to the left, here's the foundation of the old store, which, like the asphalt underneath it, will be removed and regraded in the coming weeks to better follow the elevation of the Marketplace's storefront. As a result, that area farthest off to the left (east) should soon be at about the same level or elevation as the area seen farthest to the right in the foreground, if not a little lower even.

NEW INSTITUTE AT MONTACUTE
On Saturday last, 29 June, the foundation stone of the new Institute was laid in the presence of a large number of residents by Mr. F. J. T. Pflaum, M.P., who referred to the great benefit an institute would be to the residents of the district, enabling them to enjoy social intercourse. It was a place where they could meet without entering into party politics, and where they could work for the good of all. He also spoke of the advantages that would accrue from the library.
The land on which the building is being erected is the gift of Mr James Hunter, senior. The foundation stone was also a present, being given by the Literary Society.

MONTACUTE INSTITUTE OPENING
There was a large gathering at the Montacute Institute on Saturday afternoon, when the Hon. A. H. Peake, Mrs. Peake, Miss Peake, and Mr. Pflaum, M.P., arrived to open the new institute. The foundation stone was laid on June 29, 1907, by Mr. Pflaum, and the building is solid, and of attractive design. In addition to a spacious hall it contains a library and reading room. The school children, in charge of Mrs. Moore, were drawn up to receive the visitors, and were complimented on their smart appearance.
Mr. Peake was presented with a silver key, and in declaring the institute open, he complimented the community on having had the courage and enterprise to erect the building at what, to them, would be a considerable expense. He counted institutes as among the best and most useful institutions.

Sacred Heart College Memorial Chapel
The Marist Brothers were favoured with beautiful, though rather warm weather, for the double ceremony which took place at the Sacred Heart College, Glenelg, on Sunday afternoon last, when his Grace the Archbishop blessed and opened the extensions to the College recently erected, and laid the foundation stone of the fine new chapel which is to be erected as a memorial of the jubilee of the Marist Brothers in Australia and of the students of the College who were killed in the late European war.
A crowd of some thousand persons, including many visitors from the city and suburbs, assembled in the grounds to witness the ceremony.
The Archbishop first blessed the extensions at the rear of the College, assisted by Rev Frs Gatzemeyer and Considine.
He then blessed the ground on which the memorial chapel is being erected on the eastern side of the College, and blessed and laid the foundation stone. For this purpose he was presented by Bro Joseph with a silver trowel, suitably inscribed, the gift of the architects (Messrs Garlick and Jackman).
Fifty years ago four Marist Brothers arrived in Sydney to take up the work at St Patrick's School in that city. They began with 117 scholars. Since then they had extended their operations from New Norcia, in the West, to Sydney, in the East, throughout the Commonwealth, in the Dominion of New Zealand, and the islands of the Pacific, and had nearly 300 brothers engaged in scholastic work, and something like 9000 scholars.
In order to signalise this jubilee a committee was formed. They were anxious to mark the occasion by some permanent memorial. The Marist Brothers had never made an appeal to the public for help during their 50 years' existence in Australia, and he thought that was a record for any of the Orders in Australia. The committee also desired to erect a memorial to the ex-students of the College who had fallen in the war, and it had been decided that the two objects could best be combined in the erection of a college chapel.
Bro. Joseph said it was his pleasant duty to introduce his Grace the Archbishop, who had kindly come down to perform the ceremony.
The one concern of the appeal committee was the erection of the chapel, which would cost between £9000 and £10,000, and which they all knew would be an architectural ornament, not only to the college, but to the district. The committee was not merely an ornamental body. It had done a large amount of work in the 12 months since its formation with his Grace's consent, and deserved their best thanks. It had £3300 in hand, of which the members had contributed £1200, over a third, out of their own pockets. They had shown themselves willing to back their enthusiasm with their cash.
In addition to being a memorial of the jubilee, the building would serve another purpose, rather by coincidence than by set design. His Grace would remember that he was present five years ago, when Sir Henry Galway unveiled a roll of honour to over 300 of their students who had enlisted. Some 70 or 80 went to the front afterwards, bringing the total up to nearly 400. Between 60 and 70 of these had made the supreme sacrifice. It was thought fitting to commemorate them by a jubilee and memorial chapel.
The visitors then inspected the building and extensions, and afternoon tea was served.
The style adopted for the new chapel is that known as the Romanesque, and the materials to be used, bluestone with cement dressings, will harmonize with the architectural treatment of the existing buildings. The foundations are of specially designed reinforced cement concrete. The walls will be built of Tapley's Hill bluestone, with cement quoins and dressings to all door and window openings. The trustees have obtained a lease of a quarry at Tapley's Hill, and only specially selected stone will be used.
All the window frames will be of steel, with subdued colour-stained glass leaded lights of simple design. The joinery will be of blackwood, specially chosen for beauty of grain, and polished. The whole of the walls internally will be finished in cement and brown sand, thus giving a permanent buff shade effect, and they will be jointed to represent stone. The ceiling will be panelled in wood and stained to harmonize with the cement-finish of the walls.
The roof is to be covered with Roman-pattern terra cotta tiles. The width of the chapel will be 28 feet, and the length 66 feet, with aisles on each side six feet wide. The sanctuary at the eastern end will be 18 feet wide and 21 feet long, semicircular and lighted by three stained glass windows placed above the altar.
The entrance porch will be 14 feet by 10 feet, with white Angaston marble steps leading from the carriage drive. At each side of the entrance porch will be a tower 12 feet square carried up to a height of 60 feet, the upper portion of which will be octagonal and surmounted with a copper dome and cross.
Provision will be made over the entrance porch for an organ chamber, and curved and panelled wooden gallery for the organ-passage ways leading from the sanctuary.
The whole of the floors will be of reinforced cement concrete, covered with wood parquetry flooring of specially selected blackwood and oak. Messrs Garlick and Jackman are the architects, and Messrs Dwyer and Warner the contractors.

The blessing and opening of the magnificent Romanesque Memorial Chapel recently erected in the grounds of the Sacred Heart College, Glenelg, will take place on Sunday, March 30, at 3.15 pm. The ceremony will be performed by his Grace the Archbishop. The public are cordially invited to attend, especially the parents and friends of Marist Bros' old boys who fell in the war, of whom the chapel is a memorial. It also commemorates the centenary of the Marist Brothers in France in 1817 and the golden jubilee of their establishment in Australia in 1922.
The chapel, which was built at a cost of £11,000, is an imposing structure of Tapley Hill bluestone. In the porch two beautiful statues of Youth will serve as lights. The chapel has seating accommodation for 350 persons.

Onze tentoonstellingen willen geen oase zijn. Onze presentatie is onaf, in beweging, ongepolijst, contradictorisch, slordig, complex, onharmonieus, levend en onmonumentaal, zoals de wereld buiten de museummuren.
De Verbeke Foundation is een private kunstsite die geopend werd op 1 juni 2007 door kunstverzamelaars Geert Verbeke en Carla Verbeke-Lens.
Cultuur, natuur en ecologie komen er samen. De ruimte herbergt een indrukwekkende verzameling van moderne en hedendaagse kunst en biedt als kunstenvrijplaats ook kansen aan jonge kunstenaars.
Met zijn 12 hectare natuurgebied en zijn 20.000 m² overdekte ruimten is de Verbeke Foundation één van de grootste privé-initiatieven voor hedendaagse kunst in Europa. De loodsen van het vroegere transportbedrijf van Geert Verbeke werden omgebouwd tot unieke expositieruimtes. Eén van de gebouwen werd ingericht om de uitzonderlijke verzameling collages en assemblages tentoon te stellen. De Verbeke Foundation is in een aanhoudend groeiproces. Kunstenaars kunnen er in residentie verblijven en grotere en kleinere tentoonstellingen wisselen elkaar af, waardoor de foundation er elke dag anders uitziet, zoals een ademend organisme.
Geschiedenis
In het begin van de jaren 1990 begonnen Geert en Carla Verbeke-Lens kunst te verzamelen. Na een initiële interesse voor abstracte schilderkunst werd de collectie geheroriënteerd naar collages en assemblages van hoofdzakelijk Belgische kunstenaars. De afgelopen jaren werd de verzameling verder uitgebreid naar hedendaagse kunst en naar bio-art.
Collages en assemblages
De kern van de privéverzameling bestaat uit een uitzonderlijke collectie van zo’n 6000 collages en assemblages voornamelijk uit de twintigste eeuw. Een aparte ruimte werd ingericht om een deel van deze collectie permanent tentoon te stellen.
Hedendaags kunst
De Verbeke Foundation wenst een plek te zijn waar cultuur, natuur en ecologie samenkomen. Het werk van bio-artiesten en van kunstenaars die met levende materialen werken (planten, dieren, geuren) sluit hier naadloos bij aan. Sinds de opening van de Verbeke Foundation in 2007 kon de verzameling uitgebreid worden met hedendaagse werken en in situ gebouwde installaties.

Little Akaloa....Out and about with my Flickr and blip friend on Banks Peninsula. February 20, 2016, New Zealand.
It was warm and wonderful so we packed up a lunch and headed for the hills and bays around the banks peninsula. It reached will over 30c today.. a bit too hot at times and there was no wind at all.
The historic gem of Little Akaloa is a church hidden away among old trees, commanding a fine view down the bay. The present St Luke's replaced an earlier wooden church and was completed in November 1906. It has an "old world" English-looking exterior, with walls of pebble dash on concrete, a slate roof and a small well-proportioned bell tower.
The surprise is the interior, which is embellished with carvings of predominantly Maori motifs, many delicately executed on white stone. The rafters are decorated with Maori patterns and support an imitation raupo rush ceiling. The windows have stylised Maori designs in coloured glass.
The church was built (and partly paid for) by a local resident, J.H. Menzies, who was "an amateur carver of the very highest order". It is one of the country's early examples of the incorporation of Maori decorative motifs in a European building.

This picture really touched me when I saw it for the first time the other day. I am working on saving some old slides, taken by my step-grandfather, Lucien Toucas. The only ones I have are from 1948 and 1964-65, and surprisingly the older ones seem to be in better shape. I was really happy about that, since they show my grandmother and mother when they were young.
This was when my parents met. My grandfather, who was the executive chef of The Hotel Astor in New York City, and my grandmother, decided to build a bungalow out on Long Island, which was to be for weekends and holidays. My father was the builder they contracted to do the job, and this is the foundation of that original building, as well as the foundation of our family since this is how my parents got together and my brother and I came to be.
Known in our family as "the Branch House", the bungalow became their permanent home eventually, and Pop commuted into NYC to work until his retirement. The name came from the fact that the bungalow grew as they needed the space and added rooms. It was always a place where Pop entertained company, and every Sunday afternoon we would go there, eat a late lunch that turned into dinner, as we all chatted around the table on the patio.
In this pic, my mother, Betty, is on the left and my grandmother, Julie is on the right. Mom was 24 in this shot and Ga-Ga was about 40-41. My grandmother died when she was 50. Mom lived to be 84 years old. Pop died the day after his 89th birthday, and my father, Charley, lived the longest, passing away in 1999 at the age of 92, just one month shy of turning 93 years old. He died the day before my mother's birthday. Ga-Ga died the eve of Mother's Day, thereby "ruining" it for my mom from then on. Pop died on Valentine's Day, and Mom topped them all by passing away at 4 AM, Christmas morning 2008, making sure she nailed both Christmas Eve AND Christmas Day! My family seems to go out with a bang, and fortunately, they also seem to do a lot of living in the time they have!
Just for the record, Ga-Ga loved attention and seemed very at ease in front of a camera, but no matter how good Mom looked, she always was self conscious. We have no portraits of her as a result. I imagine sitting on a thin board wasn't particularly comfortable, especially with Ga-Ga steadying herself on her shoulder! Though there's nothing to give you a size comparison, My mom was 5'1 1/2" at her peak, and Ga-Ga was only about 4'11" tall!
