The Nepalese Peace Pagoda complemented the Nepalese Pavilion at the World Exposition 1988 (Expo 88), held at Southbank in Brisbane. The square, three-level replica of a traditional Nepalese temple is built of hand-carved wood, and has a double-tiered roof of brass with brass trimmings. It proved popular with the crowds who attended Expo 88, and the Peace Pagoda is the last international exhibit remaining on the Expo 88 site. It was originally sited near the Vulture Street entrance to Expo 88. In 1991 it was moved to its current location, amongst the rainforest near the northern riverbank entrance to the Southbank Parklands.
World Expositions (or Exhibitions) become increasingly popular after the 1851 Great Exhibition in London, but their frequency, and the standard of their facilities, was not regulated until after the 1928 Paris Convention on International Expositions. The Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) was established in 1931 to administer the Convention. Under BIE rules there are two types of international exposition: the Universal/Category A/General Exposition, and the International/Category B/Special Exposition. The former involves broad themes, and participants design their own pavilions from the ground up, based on the theme.
The International Exposition, which has a narrower theme, is much cheaper to host, and is usually limited to one branch of human endeavour. Participants rent prefabricated pavilions from the host country's committee. Brisbane's Expo 88 was an International Exposition, with the theme "Leisure in the Age of Technology". Most of the structures built on exposition sites are intended to be temporary, but some sites have become parks, incorporating surviving exposition elements, including the sites of Montreal 1967, Seville 1992, Taejon 1993, and Lisbon 1998. Some structures have gone on to become landmarks in their own right, such as the Royal Exhibition Building (Melbourne 1880), the Eiffel Tower (Paris 1889), and the Space Needle (Seattle 1962).
The first bid to bring an exposition to Brisbane in 1988 began with James Maccormick , the architect who had designed the Australian pavilions at Montreal 1967, Osaka 1970, and Spokane 1974. The Brisbane Chamber of Commerce was converted to the idea, and lobbied the Queensland State Government during 1977. However, the Queensland Government was worried about the cost of a Universal Exposition, and was preoccupied with its bid for the 1982 Commonwealth Games. A second Queensland bid was made in 1981. The Australian Bicentennial Authority (ABA), under John Reid, wanted an Universal Exposition in Australia as part of Bicentennial in 1988, and the Federal Government was prepared to fund half of the cost of an exposition in Melbourne or Sydney. However, when these states turned the offer down in January 1981, Reid approached the Queensland Government with a proposal for a cheaper International Exposition. In late 1981 the State Cabinet funded a study that identified South Brisbane as the preferred site. The State Cabinet approved the study on 5 November 1981, on the condition that the Federal Government share the capital costs, but Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser rejected this notion in December 1981.
Queensland made two more attempts in 1982 for an International Exposition. Frank Moore, Chairman of the Queensland Tourist and Travel Corporation (QTTC), believed that private enterprise could fund the exposition, and that it would benefit Queensland's tourism. Queensland's Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen asked Prime Minister Fraser to get the BIE to keep a slot open for Brisbane in 1988. Fraser was willing to support this proposal, so long as there was no Federal financial commitment. However, Queensland private enterprise was not forthcoming, and Bjelke-Petersen withdrew the proposal in April 1982. November of 1982 witnessed a renewed bid by the State Government. The State would lend money to a statutory authority, which would be tasked with buying and developing the land, and managing the exposition. Brisbane's application was sent to the December 1982 meeting of the BIE in Paris, and was approved in June 1983.
The Brisbane Exposition and South Bank Redevelopment Authority (BESBRA) was established in February 1984 by an Act of the Queensland Parliament. BESBRA was soon referred to in the media as the Expo 88 Authority, or the Expo Authority. Sir Llewellyn Edwards, the Deputy Premier, was appointed as Chairman. In April 1984 the Expo 88 Authority's general manager, Bob Minnikin, claimed that Expo 88 would require $180 million to produce, including resumptions and development, and $90 million to run. It was hoped that gate takings and sponsorship would cover the running costs, and that the development cost would be recouped through selling off the site after Expo 88. Only 13 hectares of the Expo 88 site was private land, with the remainder of the 40 hectares belonging to either the State Government or the Brisbane City Council. Nonetheless, the last resumption did not occur until October 1984, as the owner of the heritage-listed residence 'Collins Place' fought a running legal battle with the Expo 88 Authority.
Grey and Stanley Streets were closed to traffic in July 1985, and demolition work began. Construction of the pavilions started in January 1986. The concept of the Expo 88 architects, Bligh Maccormick 88, included eight large shade-canopies, to protect the public from the Queensland sun. Landscaping began in March 1987, and the Monorail, which would circle the site on a 2.3 kilometre long track, was commissioned in June of that year. By January 1988, $90 million of the $136.8 million construction budget had been spent, and 7.8 million visitors were expected.
During 1987 developers had been asked to present their proposals for Southbank's redevelopment after Expo 88. In February 1988 the State Government announced that the redevelopment plan of the River City 2000 Consortium had been accepted. The Consortium, headed by Sir Frank Moore of the QTTC, had visions of a World Trade Centre on an island, and a casino. However, by early 1988 there was a growing call in the media for more of the site to be turned into public parkland. During March and April 1988 the National Trust protested the River City 2000 Consortium's scheme to move Collins Place, the Plough Inn, and the Allgas Building, three heritage listed buildings, to a historic village. Premier Mike Ahern eventually gave reassurances that this would not happen.
Expo 88 ran for seven days a week, between the hours of 10am-10pm, for six months. Between its opening on 30 April, attended by Queen Elizabeth II, and 30 October 1988, the Expo attracted 15,760,447 visitors, the majority of these being Australians. Most of the international visitors were Japanese, but 100,000 came from the United Kingdom and Europe, with 150,000 visitors from the United States. A total of 36 nations, two international organisations, 14 state and regional governments, and 34 corporations had exhibits.
The pavilions were mostly plain, modular, and temporary. However, the Nepalese Peace Pagoda is a distinctive building, and was easily noticed as the public came through the Vulture Street entrance to Expo 88. The Association to Preserve Asian Culture (APAC) commissioned the Peace Pagoda, which was built by 160 craftsmen of the Kathmandu Valley over two years, before being assembled in Brisbane. It is one of only three such temples outside Nepal, the others being at Munich and Osaka. Nepal has a long history of intricate woodcarving on buildings, and the Peace Pagoda was an attempt to showcase this skill to the world. The two small timber pavilions in front of the Peace Pagoda sold yoghurt lati, samosas, orange juice and lemon tea. Artisans demonstrated their crafts inside the ground floor of the Pagoda, and people could drink their tea and watch the Expo crowds from the teahouse on the first floor. The nearby Nepalese pavilion showcased traditional costumes, climbing dress, photographs, and artefacts.
Expo 88 was a turning point for Queensland's culture and economy, especially in Brisbane. On 30 May 1983 Joh Bjelke-Petersen had noted that if Brisbane's bid were successful, it would focus the world's spotlight on Queensland. Sir Frank Moore believed that the key to developing a major tourist industry in Queensland was a series of hallmark events, including the 1982 Commonwealth Games, which would focus attention on Queensland far better than any advertising campaign. Expo 88 was also intended to start Brisbane on a modernisation process, and towards becoming a 'global' city. The urban renewal of South Brisbane was just one aspect. In April 1984 Sir Llew stated that Queensland would never be the same again after Expo 88, and Brisbane would develop an image as a centre of trade, culture and entertainment. In April 1988 the Courier Mail claimed that Expo 88 was "bridging the yawning gap from a hayseed State to an urbane, international future". Sir Llew also claimed in April 1988 that the aim was for Expo 88 to be a catalyst for a change in lifestyle. Queenslanders had experienced extended opening hours and outdoor café dining, and had liked it.
While the crowds enjoyed Expo 88, controversy continued regarding future plans for the site. There were calls for more public input on redevelopment plans. About 4.5 hectares of land between Stanley Street and the river belonged to the Brisbane City Council (BCC), as Clem Jones Park, and had been lent to the Expo 88 Authority. In June 1988 it was decided to restore this land as parkland, and the River City 2000 Consortium lost its Preferred Developer status.
Government plans for a South Bank Development Corporation were announced, and in July 1988 an interim committee, headed by Sir Llew, was formed to oversee redevelopment. Sir Llew noted in October 1988 that more public funding was necessary to increase the parkland component of the new Southbank, as the land had been earmarked for development to repay for the cost of Expo 88. The draft redevelopment plans released in November 1988 included 12 hectares of parkland. Public submissions on the plan suggested that people wanted to be able to return to the Expo 88 site, to a public facility that had a similar combination of food, art and nature.
At the end of Expo 88, the APAC had planned to sell the Nepalese Peace Pagoda, and it appeared likely that it would be moved to Japan. However, 90,000 people had signed a petition during Expo 88 to keep the Peace Pagoda in Brisbane, and in late 1988 the BCC offered to provide land for the Peace Pagoda, if the Federal Government would pay for its cost and maintenance. A "Save the Pagoda Campaign" was active by February 1989. Public donations eventually totalled $52,000, with $30,000 coming from one couple, who wanted to "give Brisbane something to remember from Expo 88". The BCC provided $50,000, and the Federal Government supplied $100,000. "The Friends of the Pagoda Committee" also raised funds to buy several items that had complemented the Peace Pagoda, including a brass statue of the deity of compassion, a bronze bell and carved stone frame, and a stone lingam.
The Southbank Development Corporation was set up February 1989, with Vic Pullar as the Chairman. Approximately $200 million had been spent on developing the Expo site, and this money had to be recouped. The South Bank Corporation Act was passed in May 1989, and the former Clem Jones Park area was transferred to the Southbank Corporation, which was tasked with managing a new parkland precinct. In June 1989 submissions were sought from five architectural firms, and in August the "Media Five" concept of a mixed residential, commercial, and parkland development was chosen. Under Media Five's plans, the Peace Pagoda would be moved to the northern part of the parklands. The Media Five Chairman, Desmond Brooks, also suggested that Collins Place, the Plough Inn and the Allgas Building be removed to a historic village, but Vic Pullar rejected this idea. However, when the Southbank Corporation's Draft Development Plan was released in November 1989, it proposed to only keep the facades of the historic buildings. After protests by the National Trust, the State Government overruled the Southbank Corporation.
The proposed redevelopment included a waterway through the park, and a large lagoon, which was later downsized. In March 1990 the Final Plan was presented, after public submissions, and site redevelopment started in July 1990. The official Southbank Parklands opening occurred on 20 June 1992. The Waterway was later filled in and replaced with the Energex Arbour, which was officially opened in March 2000.
The transfer of the Peace Pagoda to its current site started on 24 September 1991. The deity of compassion was moved from the first floor to a glass case on the ground floor, the sides of the ground floor were encased in glass, and a display case was added inside. Access to the first floor was sealed off. The two smaller pavilions were also transferred, but their service windows were locked up. Two lion statues and two elephant statues were also relocated. The building was originally designed to be demountable, but it is currently set in a ceramic tiled floor. The Peace Pagoda was one of the best-loved exhibits at Expo 88, as visitors were able to relax in it away from the bustle of the crowds. Today it is still popular, both with tourists, and those who go there to meditate and reflect.

The Tucson Inn, which opened in 1953, was shut down by the city in May, 2017, for building-code violations. The owners say they expect to re-open in the fall.
Maybe. It might be just as well if they don't.
Here's the first paragraph of one of the more charitable Yelp reviews...
"Do the world a favor: rent a bulldozer and drive it into the Tucson Inn. Bury the owners, squatters, broken cars, and semi-feral dogs under a pile of cinderblocks and ashes. But leave the sign--it's iconic and visiting photographers would have to take original pictures without it."

The fairly remote old fashioned Railway Inn, on a minor B-road near Meare, is surrounded by extensive nationally important wetland nature reserves on the Somerset Levels.
The pub sits next to where the old Ashcott Railway Sation used to be. The station was on the Highbridge branch of the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway. Opened by the Somerset Central Railway in 1856 as Ashcott and Meare, the name changed to Ashcott in 1876. Consisting of a short wooden platform and station building, the station was next to a road level crossing.
The station closed when trains were withdrawn during the Beeching Axe, taking effect on 7th March 1966. But the Railway Inn is well supported by locals and visitors to the nature reserves.
Where to stay in Val Marie, Sask. - Completed in 1939, The Convent was opened and blessed by Bishop Guy O.M.I. on September 10th of that year. The Sisters of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary (a teaching order based in Quebec) immediately began teaching at The Convent. Though the nuns were French; they taught in English. The main part of the building was cloistered and the rest was the local high school. In the early 1960s a new public school was built and the three remaining sisters sold the building to the Dumont family who ran a care home for a number of years. The Village of Val Marie later bought the building with the assumption that Parks Canada would use it for their offices. Unfortunately the deal fell through and the building remained abandoned for eighteen years.
In 1996 Robert Ducan and his son Adam chanced upon the building during a summer vacation. Captivated by the buildings brick work, hardwood floors, and rich interior wood, Robert purchased the building from the village, saving The Convent from the imminent demolition scheduled for the next week. Working together, Robert and Mette and their two children restored the building, opening The Convent Country Inn, in time for the 1997 winter holiday season.
The Inn is complete with 2 classrooms (now a lounge & a dining room), a chapel, a Confessional, some single “Nun’s” rooms, as well as accommodations for couples.
This was the moment were I was saying to myself and out loud in the morning „Now we are talking!“.
Only on the morning of the third day of the Three Peaks Bike Race I found what I am always looking for when going out for a bike ride - either small or while on a bikepacking race across Europe: stunning scenery, nice and new and intriguing places.
While the first stint from the afternoon start into and through the night was all focused on making good progress and getting into the flow the second day was in the first half only rain and dismal weather. Even when the sun finally did came out in the afternoon I held no interest in the views of the Inn valley (which also weren’t particularly enticing for my taste and also already well known). But here and now on the morning of the third day, shortly after the start in Telfs I crossed the Inn over this nice small bridge with lovely sights into the Inn gorge towards Imst-Bahnhof. Of course I made several photos, enjoyed a banana in the process and then continued over a very nice stretch of the Inn cycling route which I'd deliberately chosen while I was planning my route in preparation for the race. Since it promised nice views and car free cycling while at the same time providing good progress and virtually no added kilometres or climbing compared to the main road. Because despite nice views and all - an overly winding and up and down running cycling path just frustrates the heck out of me when you don’t get into any flow and good pace.

Das war der Moment, wo ich zu mir selbst und laut in den Morgen sagte: "Now we are talking!".
Erst am Morgen des dritten Tages des Three Peaks Bike Race fand ich, wonach ich immer suche wenn ich zum Rad fahren aufbreche - ob kurz oder während des Bestreitens eines Bikepacking Rennens quer durch Europa: beeindruckende Landschaften, schöne und neue und faszinierende Orte.
Während ich im ersten Rennabschnitt vom Start am Nachmittag in und durch die Nacht komplett darauf ausgerichtet war, guten Fortschritt zu machen und in den Flow zu kommen, war der zweite Tag fast ganz vom Morgen weg in der ersten Hälfte komplett verregnet. Auch als am Nachmittag endlich die Sonne herauskam, hegte ich wenig Interesse für die Aussichten im Inntal (die ehrlich gesagt auch gar nicht so sonderlich waren bzw. die ich auch schon kannte). Aber hier und jetzt am Morgen des dritten Tages überquerte ich nach dem frühen Start in Telfs den Inn nun über diese schöne kleine Brücke des Innradweges; mit schönen Blicken über den Inn herab und hinauf in die Inn-Schlucht Richtung Imst-Bahnhof. Natürlich machte ich eine ganze Reihe von Fotos, genoss eine Banane dabei und machte mich dann auf, die weitere Strecke entlang des Innradweges in Angriff zu nehmen. Für diesen schönen Abschnitt hatte ich nämlich extra schon im Vorfeld bei meiner Planung den Radweg ausgewählt, weil er besonders schöne Sichten und autoloses Radfahren, gleichzeitig aber auch mindestens so gutes Vorankommen wie auf der Hauptstraße versprach. Denn bei allen schönen Sichten - ein Radweg, der sich umständlich windet, viele enge Abzweige aufweist, ständig auf und ab führt (während die Hauptstraße mit gleichmäßigem Gradient und geradlinig vorankommt) ist im Zusammenhang mit weiträumigen Touren und besonders Rennen einfach nur frustrierend. Nicht der Innradweg in diesem Teil.

Woke up early this a.m. and wandered over to the Grove Park Inn to watch the sunrise over Asheville from the Balcony. Walking up to the entrance this scene looked awfully inviting. I had some time before the sunrise began so I decided to set up for this shot.
Hard to beat the Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone National Park. The Interior is beautiful with the huge stone fireplace and all of the logs and woodwork. Also, it is steps away from the most famous geyser in the world

In the beginning it was my father who made things. And I watched. He had built his own first car. Not from a kit: they didn't have car kits in those days. But I remember him making a Jettex jet for me when we lived in Germany. It was made of balsa wood and had a small rocket, fuelled by solid fuel pellets. He painted it in orange dope. He lit the fuse of the rocket motor. It hissed and fizzed but the thing didn't gain much impetus or height when he chucked it into the air. It was a bit of a flop, but had looked beautiful up until the time he tried to make it fly. But he would sit and patiently make things out of Lego with us and set up his Marklin train set for us to play with. As I grew up breakfast became the most fascinating meal of the day, with a race to eat up Robertson's jam and marmalade to collect Golliwog tokens so that we could claim badges. And we would pick our cereals depending on the giveaways. Perhaps a little scuba diver that went up and down in a basin of water could be found by digging arm's length down through the SugarPuffs to the bottom of the packet. Or the flat back of the packet could be cut and folded into a Bulldog's head. Collect all 12 different dogs in the series. How frustrating when Mum came back with the shopping and had just grabbed the first pack of Frosties off the shelf without checking if we already had that dog.
I don't know at what age I started making things. By five I was taking packing boxes and tea chests and building huge battleships in the cellar. Sometimes as long as a room.. We were always moving every six months or so in those days, so there was a permanent supply of large boxes around and cardboard tubes for rolled up carpets made gun barrels for the ship's turrets, and periscopes. Of course we had guns too, cap firing cowboy pistols and ratchetty sounding machine guns. And we roamed the streets 'shooting' each other. We were always British or German. Sometimes we were knights and we made shields, and armour out of cardboard. We armed ourselves with stick spears or swords and stabbed one another. Harmlessly. Or when playing with girls we built shops or a post office and sent each other letters, stamps made with the sticky, serrated bit you get around a page of stamps. I have no idea at what age I was given a knife to strip the bark off a stick. I never remember slashing myself so badly that it wouldn't just stop bleeding after ten minutes with a handy handkerchief pressed over it. I survived.
I distinctly remember going into the NAAFI Forces shop on a German base and picking my first Airfix model. It was a FIAT G 91 or something. In those days the kit came in a small bag dangling off a cardboard hanger. I remember I got glue all over the canopy where my thumb and forefinger got stuck to it. Some of the decal transfers floated off the backing paper in the saucer of water. And when I tried to fish them out they folded over and were impossible to flatten out again. So instead of using the Italian roundels I switched to use the German iron cross motifs ending up with an Italian/German axis aircraft.
All through school I made things out of card, plastic, wood...food packaging...anything. A lot were military aircraft, tanks, warships....galleons. But I made original things too. And as I got older my skills developed. I could make almost anything I turned my hands to.
But when I flew the nest all that stopped. Apart from helping my sons to make their first planes, tanks and war ships. My working married family life stopped me making things in its tracks. With just two exceptions. In 1990 I decided to build my sons a lasting toy. I had always enjoyed having a fort to play with my little soldiers or cowboys when at the same age, and I wanted them to have the same. A unique toy. I came up with the idea of a robust castle that would fit inside its 29 inch square base. And you can see it here. Innes Castle. It has a raising and lowering drawbridge, opening doors, secret doors and a dungeon that baddies can be cast into. And a full complement of Britains 1/32 Knights in armour, Robin Hood, Maid Marian, the Sheriff of Nottingham, Friar Tuck and Little John. It's all built out of plywood which I coated in grey grout, and scratched with a nail to make the walls look like they are made of blocks of stone.
We're now on the second generation playing with it, 28 years on from when I built it. So far the only damage is to a few knights who have lost the odd limb or weapon. But that's normal in love and war.
Project 2 was North Calder Farm, much bigger, but still built to all fit inside itself, and still surviving into the second generation
The Ship Inn stands in the Shalesmoor area of Kelham Island in Sheffield. The glazed tile frontage references the original brewers, Henry Tomlinson Ltd, Anchor Brewery, Cherry Street, Sheffield. The brewery was founded in 1889 and put out of action in 1940 by an air raid. It was merged with Carter, Milner & Bird Ltd in 1942 to form Hope & Anchor Breweries Ltd.
Braunau on the Inn is a nice historic city in Austria -
but suffers hard by being the birthplace of Adolf Hitler.The house is marked by a big granite stone from KZ Mauthausen near Linz.
Recently the Austrian authorities decided to transform this house into a police station. Hopefully a way to avoid Nazi pilgrimage to this place, and hopefully a good way to handle this kind of history and "heritage".
Say no to fascism, antisemitism, nationalism, racism - stand up for human rights and democracy - much endangered in these times - even in the motherlands of democracy...
One of Birmingham's lost pubs was the Cambridge Inn. The pub was situated on the corner of The Crescent and Cambridge Street. The picture was taken in November 1968 of the building in the process of being demolished. In 1968 the Health & Safety approach to such work was to bung a few barriers round the building, if you wanted to pick around inside and fall through the floor, carry on! Today even the rats running around the site have to wear hard hats.
Behind the pub is the new and wondrous sloping car-park, this addle-pated idea produced a car park shaped like a wedge of cheese, which meant one heavy car door had to be heaved up to get out whilst the lower side door swung open with enough force to produce a fine dent in the neighbouring vehicle. Growing out of the top corner of the pub is the GPO tower, much changed today. The Crescent bordered Crescent Wharf on the Birmingham & Fazeley canal.
Today this pub would be on the corner of Brindley Drive opposite the back of Baskerville House, the BT tower still visible.

The Inn at Buck Hill was born out ofersonified the ideology of the dreams of Quakers in 1901. It pthese industrious and pious Americans. Over time, it allowed alcohol and big business before its decline in the 1970s. Like many resorts in the Northeast, it couldn't survive the jet era and slowly succumbed to disinvestment. Buck Hill Inn closed in 1991.

The Highland Inn, located in Monterey, Virginia, was established in 1904 as the Hotel Monterey. Attracting travelers who came to the area to take advantage of mineral springs and the cool mountain climate in the summer, it became a popular social center as well. The grand old hotel is on the National Register of Historic Places and is a Virginia Historic Landmark. I took this shot while in Monterey for the Highland Maple Festival and used this angle to avoid the power lines in front of the building.
