Although equipped with decent airsickness I took a window seat this time and did not regret - the cloud formations were formidable!
For 52 Weeks of No Color.
Taken while having lunch outside. The sun was coming it at a bright angle and I liked the way it filtered through the glass. There were areas of blinding sun and deep shade.
Sat in the car park this afternoon after a 2hr meeting returning calls. One such call required an email to be sent urgently. I was still in range of the Wi-Fi luckily so managed to use the laptop and send out the info.
Em tempos de conscientização no transitos, bikes e carros tentando coabitar Sampa e o monte de declarações dos dias das mulheres, só poderia dizer uma coisa na foto se hoje: MAIS AMOR, POR FAVOR.
I was changing in the middle school bathroom, ready to go to the gym, and I decided to take a photo?
Location: The middle school bathroom.

Tonight's Project365 photo is of St Andrews Church in Sturt Street.
From onmydoorstep.com.au
The foundation stone of St Andrew's Kirk, Ballarat was laid in 1862 and construction of the bluestone building with freestone detailing was completed in 1864, on the corner of Sturt and Dawson Streets, to designs by Charles D. Cuthbert of Ballarat. The porch and vestry were added in 1873, the tower and spire in 1884 to designs by Figgis and Caselli, and the transepts in 1889 to designs by Figgis and Molloy. Finally the choir vestry was added in 1926.
There is a heap more info on the architectural and historical significance of the building here www.onmydoorstep.com.au/heritage-listing/1398/st-andrews-...
Today's Project 365 photo is of the Governor General Quentin Bryce re-opening the Arch of Victory in Ballarat today.
As you can see, the Lighthorse brigade are in the background as well as some of the trees that make up the Avenue of Honour.
The arch has recently undergone much needed conservation work and looks just as good now as when it was opened by the Prince of Wales in 1920
The rest of my shots did not upload in the right order, so I have created a Flickr set of my photos from today with more information on the history of the Arch and the restoration process.
After yet another convincing 3-1 win against northwestern rivals the Calgary Flames tonight, my beloved Vancouver Canucks find themselves atop the NHL table with a 26-8-5 record, leaving them with 57 competition points. This puts them two points clear of their closest competitors, the Detroit Red Wings, with one game in hand.
Things are looking REAL good at this point of the season. Don't you agree?

I have photographed this alley already on day 253/365 www.flickr.com/photos/deanog/6132670466 but a week ago it had an art installation added.
At first, I had no idea what the wavy yellow line and reflectors were about, until I got to the end and found the plaque.
It is called "Gold Fever" (by Sue Buchannan & Eli Giannini) and represents the price of gold from 1851 (at the far end) to 2011(closest), adjusted for inflation.
Normally for my night shots I don't use a flash, but I made an exception tonight to catch the reflectors.
There are more artworks installed in the other part of Drury Lane, which I may go back to for other Project 365 photos.

The nest was built by a pigeon (whom my daughter christened “Sally”), who has returned here on a regular basis since we moved in. Let’s see if she comes back this year?
Sep 20 Today has been kind of a rough day for me. Seeing beautiful things like this lavender always make me feel better :-)
Today my daughter had her 4 month check up with her Pediatrician and got her immunization shots. Four of them, too. Poor thing, she cried and was not happy at all. She's a bit cranky and hopefully doesn't get sick. I did not have the energy to create a shot for the day so I quickly grabbed the camera and took this shot before my wife put her to sleep.
As I drove past the old Ballarat Cemetery on my home from work, I looked across and saw that the sunset made some great silhouettes as the sun went down.
From ballaratcemeteries.com.au
Ballarat's first public cemetery was established on the 25th February 1856 when the first trustees were gazetted. Records show that burials took place from 1848 in the vicinity of the old cemetery. The site of the old cemetery which covers 7ha (18 acres) is situated 1 1/2 kilometres from the city centre and 1/2 kilometre from Lake Wendouree, site of the 1956 Olympic rowing and also of the famous Begonias. The cemetery is rich in Ballarat's history as many burials were early settlers of Chinese and European descent who were looking to make their fortune on the goldfields. Two important monuments in Australian history were erected resulting from the Eureka uprising of 1854 Australia's only civil war. The Eureka diggers' monument was erected in 1856 and 23 years later in 1879 a monument was erected by the government of Victoria in memory of the officers and soldiers who died as a result of the uprising. Situated in the centre of the cemetery, surrounded by grand and simple monuments of our forbearers, is the original rotunda built in 1892. This was used as a meeting place prior to burial services. The rotunda has been restored to its original splendour over the years and is now used as the cemeteries' official monogram. The cemetery records show 35,000 interments have taken place since 1856, 18,000 prior to 1884. Today there are no burial locations available to purchase but there are approximately 15 interments each year at existing graves. The 1920 gatehouse building was restored in 1997 and houses a wealth of historical information including Eureka and Ballarat's early generations. Community access to family grave information is now available with the installation of a touch screen computer.
