Back to my trip to Queensland for a while.
Day two in Brisbane and have three nights stay then back to New Zealand. August 9, 2014 Queensland, Australia.
Brisbane is the capital and most populous city in the Australian state of Queensland, and the third most populous city in Australia. The Brisbane central business district stands on the original European settlement and is situated inside a bend of the Brisbane River, approximately 15 kilometres from its mouth at Moreton Bay.
Brisbane is named after the Brisbane River on which it is located, which in turn was named after Scotsman Sir Thomas Brisbane, the Governor of New South Wales from 1821 to 1825. The first European settlement in Queensland was a penal colony at Redcliffe, 28 kilometres north of the central business district, which was founded in 1824. That settlement was soon abandoned and moved to North Quay in 1825. Free settlers were permitted from 1842. Brisbane was chosen as the capital when Queensland was proclaimed a separate colony from New South Wales in 1859.
Prior to European settlement, the Brisbane area was inhabited by the Turrbal and Jagera people. They knew the area that is now the central business district as Mian-jin, meaning "place shaped as a spike".

The Hotel zur Post, the "hotel garni" (bed-and-breakfast inn) we stayed at in Bacharach. Clean, quiet, and comfortable.

I was approached by a film company because they wanted to use my Delica while shooting a short film set in the near future.
They asked me to make it look as 'Post Apocalyptic' as possible. I did my best!
Fliming took place in South London on an abandoned/dereclict housing estate. A massive place with 2000+ apartments all empty. Quite eery!
I took these shots just after filming had finished and the crew had gone home. It made for a nice setting.

The upper of the two old car order/parcel pickup/commande à l'auto conveyor belts at ex-A&P store #386. The store closed in November 2005, but the car order operation was shut down 10 years prior to the store's closing or in 1995...the grocery chains were sadly shuttering them en-masse in the mid-1990s. I wonder if more of them would still be in use today were Steinberg's still around.
Back in the heyday of stores in Ontario & Quebec having a car order service, several of them had two conveyors - with one to send out customers' orders and the other to return empty bins back to the cash registers. This store was rather unique in that both belts were used to transport customers' orders out to the parcel pickup room, which was located in west corner of the store by the truck receiving doors. The reason for this is that the mall entrance was midway down the length of the store's entrance and there were 6 cash registers on either side, each with their own car order conveyor. Therefore, when the cashiers need more empty bins, the direction of 1 of the 2 belts would be reversed to return empties. After the store closed, the conveyors were removed and the old parcel pickup drive-thru doors are all that remains of the car order operation. Today the store is Food Basics store #870.
I think this is going to be my last 0.7 upload for a while...0.6 is easier for me.

Log day 9:
"I can't record much anymore...the infected are everywhere...I keep killing, but they keep coming...At least the gun store I got this at has held up well...I've been here for 2 weeks, but...I feel as if I am about to die a very miserable death very soon... "
If I recall right, there was a sixth panel that I wasn't able to photograph.
Here's the artist's obituary from 2003, courtesy of the Associated Press:
Artist Richard Zoellner, known for his New Deal murals, abstract paintings and prints, died Thursday at his home in Tuscaloosa. He was 94.
His work is included in the permanent collections of some major museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art.
A native of Portsmouth, Ohio, Zoellner graduated from the Cincinnati Art Academy. He studied in New York City and Mexico as a recipient of a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation scholarship.
From 1933 to 1942 he maintained his own studio in Cincinnati and received a number of public and private commissions as part of the U.S. Treasury Section of Fine Arts, part of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal administration.
His commissions included murals for the U.S. Post Offices in Cleveland, Georgetown, Hamilton, Medina, and Portsmouth, Ohio; and Mannington, W. Va. Other commissions included paintings for U.S. Marine hospitals and murals for the Cincinnati Zoo.
His paintings and sculpture-like prints were known for their energy and vibrant application of color and pattern. He served for 33 years on the University of Alabama's art faculty, retiring in 1978.
In 1992, at 84, he exhibited 15 critically acclaimed new works of art inspired by a trip to the Yucatan peninsula and the architecture of its Mayan ruins.
Survivors include his wife, Willita Skelton Goodson Zoellner; his son, David Zoellner; a stepson, artist Nathan Goodson of Tuscaloosa; and grandchildren.
I was rather inspired by Azaghal Gabilzaramul's post-apoc 6670 seen here:

Don't say I didn't warn him. :)
Situation: Two month's after the Apoc. The inhabitants of 33th Monreo Street have been hiding inside their appartment building awaiting the Agents who where send to rescue all survivals. Will the Agents find them in time to rescue them from the evils which lurck in the night?
Comments and critiques are welcome, and appreciated.
Ever since i can remember, i have been (religiously) going for the Mahashtami anjali.
This is me with my aunt looking pretty happy as we barely managed the anjali - there are batches for doing this and we were on the last one..phew!
Lamp post in the Suburbs. I wanted to retake one of my earlier shots but with the lamp post lights turned on. I'm not sure if I like this one better but I think in general, when one looks at a light, they want to know what it looks like when it's lit up. So here it is.
I've been MIA once again. My sweet little Em finally had her long awaited surgery. Hopefully her heart is as good as it can be now. She will always be a cardiac patient, but I pray that she will not have to undergo any more open heart surgeries from now on! Even so, we are so thankful that we are in a place with a world class surgeon who knows exactly how to deal with issues like hers. So very thankful.
In April 2020 despite local protest the Post Office was franchised. It was suddenly closed when the staff resigned due to lack of support from the new management.
This notice was taped to the front door!

Like my photos? Buy me a coffee!
Partially completed post office and van. There a gap where the shop sign goes. I've still to decide whether to use the old style "Oifig an Phoist" in old Irish script or the newer style.
Driving along Route 28 in Virginia at about 1am I took a couple of photographs of Laura caught in the sodium glare of the street lights. The smears of light on the window, the headlights of the car behind illuminating her face, the glow of the dashboard gives this photograph a Mad Max feel!
Albury, NSW, Australia
"Built in 1875 by local builder, Alexander Frew, around an earlier structure. An imposing country post office having good civic architectural qualities which makes a suitable entrance to the other civic buildings in Dean Street in terms of style, scale and height. Frew included an arcaded verandah on Kiewa Street, which has since been filled in. The present open verandah is part of a later extension. The truncated clock tower was added in the 1920's and built of timber disguised as masonry."
