Something about the triangle formation of red helmeted guys makes me glad I'm not the Geneva kid.

It's a door, with a beer belly.

Early in the morning as the sun was rising. The Lincoln Memorial is quite an imposing, atmospheric place when it isn't filled with noisy tourists.

It fizzled out to nothing...morning view from the cliff at Queenscliff overlooking the old wharf and the old pilots jetty

Imposing architecture in steel.

By all accounts,the views from the summit of the 600m Lion's Head are sensational.Maybe too much for this septuagenarian though.

...we visited the Chiang Kai Shek memorial in the morning; the square is large, its structures are imposing and work, whether it be the Lion's club stalls on the ground or the extensive renovation exercise above, is everywhere. It's a good place to do stuff.

The imposing main entrance to Attingham Park, a National Trust property near the village of Atcham which was formerly the seat of the Hill family, Barons Berwick. The late 18th century house and surrounding 650 acre estate were gifted to the National Trust by Lady Berwick, the widow of the 8th and last baron, in 1947. The arch bears the motto of the family, 'Qui uti scit, eibona' ('Let wealth be his who knows its use').

This was taken during my first ever Yosemite visit. Needless to say, the place is absolutely gorgeous. Being unfamiliar with the area, I didn't get to wander around too much. Then again, there's always next time.

Must be the period that it was built: Art Deco anyone?

This disused crane once serviced the wharf precinct at the famous Cockatoo Island Dockyards located on Sydney Harbour.
