George is a member of a portrait photography study group I belong to which meets once a month. He has built up an amazing weath of photography knowledge from a lifetime of shooting. A member of the greatest generation, he's a WWII navy veteran.
Best viewed on black.
George and Park streets meet in one of the bussiest pedestrain intersections in the city and the country! People flow back and forth non stop when the lights change and then like magic they seem to dissapear as the cars take back their control!
I tried to capture the feeling with a slightly stretched exsposure period... effective?
This is Sydney - My City in my lunchtime!
The sound pickup on the flip is not very good, because George is a lot louder than it sounds like here. I have just opened the fridge door, rustled the bag retrieving an apricot, washed it, and he knows what comes next!

Overlooking the Niagara River, Fort George was built between 1796 and 1802. This fortification served as the headquarters for the Centre Division of the British Army during the War of 1812, and played a pivotal role in the defence of Upper Canada. Fort George saw action during the Battle of Queenston Heights, was destroyed and captured by the Americans during the Battle of Fort George, and was reclaimed by the British seven months later
Senior Officers Bedroom.
The social position, financial means and military responsibilities of a senior officer in His Majesty's army required him to recreate the atmosphere of his native England. Look at the furnishing of this bedroom. You could easily be standing in the monor of a landowner in Yorkshire as in a military fort along the Upper Canadian frontier.

Early 19th century gravestone of George Rollinson, who died in 1810 and is buried in the churchyard of St Nicholas's church, Stanningfield, Suffolk. The carving, unusually, shows a winged Father Time with his scythe.
Fort George (Gaelic: Dùn Deòrsa or An Gearastan, meaning literally "the garrison"), is a large 18th century fortress near Ardersier, to the north-east of Inverness in the Highland council area of Scotland. It was built to pacify the Scottish Highlands in the aftermath of the Jacobite rising of 1745, replacing an earlier Fort George built with the same aim after the 1715 Jacobite rising. The fortress has never been attacked and has remained in continuous use as a garrison.
The fortification is based on a Star design, it remains virtually unaltered and nowadays is open to visitors with exhibits and recreations showing use at different periods, while still serving as army barracks. Originally the depot of the Seaforth Highlanders and later the Queen's Own Highlanders (Seaforth and Camerons), it was more recently home to the Royal Irish Regiment, and as of 2007, the new garrison of the Black Watch, 3rd Battalion, Royal Regiment of Scotland.

went missing at the Idaho Fish and Game MK Nature Center in July. Tuesday (October 18,, 2011) he was spotted in a mounted wildlife display about ten feet from where he was last seen and is now safely back in his enclosure where the first thing he did was to drink lots of water. "George" has lived at the Nature Center for many years. He's a Great Basin gopher snake (Pituophis catenifer deserticola). Gopher snakes are native to Idaho and much of the western United States.
