Southern Live Oaks are quite majestic with huge spreading limbs and seriously wide trunks. I don't know why they're named Live Oaks. What else could they be? Either live or firewood. Oh, there is a brick wall to the right too.
"Roseberry" is an elegant Reformist (Arts and Crafts) style bungalow is built in the Melbourne suburb of North Caulfield.
Built between Federation (1901) and the years just after the Great War (1914 - 1918), the use of red brick and the roughcast stuccoed wall treatment of "Roseberry" are very Arts and Crafts inspired as is are the rounded bay windows featuring latticed glass. The tall chimney, the half-timbered gable over the rounded portico and the unusual shaped piers of the portico are also in keeping with the Arts and Crafts Movement in Australia.
"Roseberry" must have been built for someone of affluence, as it was built with a garage to the right-hand side. Its beginning can just been seen to the right of the picture.
As in London, there was a huge expansion in Melbourne after the Great War in 1918, with ribbon development estates with names like "Oakhill" and "Golf Links" popping up seemingly overnight along rail lines and tram lines. These quickly became suburbs where the newly created and newly moneyed middle classes chose to settle, away from the crowded inner city with its dark Victorian houses and slums. These suburbs gained the mocking title of "Metroland".
Representing modernity the inspiration of these "Metroland" houses were derived from the Reformist and Arts and Crafts movement in England as well as the more modern lines of the Art Deco and Streamline Moderne architectural styles that were in vogue in the 1920s and 1930s.
I spend too much time here drinking coffee as the area where the yellow lights are is Costa Coffee. The music auditorium is housed behind the coffee area and has fabulous acoustics.
Red bricks everywhere...

A very cold morning (for the UK anyway!) and a major snowfall as shown - schools will not open, the roads will grind to a halt and stores will run out of items within 30 minutes!

Red brick building with fancy doors in Cornwall Street, Birmingham.
Unfortunately, a few days in Birmingham were enough only for quick sight-seeing. Fortunately, the weather was behaving, though...

Gustav Adolf Church or the Scandinavian Seamen's Church is a historical building located in Park Lane, Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It consists of a church, built between 1883 and 1884, and an attached minister's house, and provides a centre for the Liverpool International Nordic Community.The combined church and minister's house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.
During the later part of the 19th century, large numbers of Scandinavian emigrants were passing though Liverpool, and there was a need to serve their spiritual needs. The first Scandinavian priest was appointed in 1870, who visited the emigrants in ships and boarding houses. There was perceived to be a need for a permanent centre. The commission to design a church and minister's house was gained by W. D. Caroe, whose father, Anders Kruuse Caroe, was the Danish Consul in the city. It was Caroe's first independent commission to design a church.[3] Building started in 1883 and was completed the following year, at a cost of £15,000 (equivalent to £1,430,000 in 2016).
I just liked the look of this building. Its raining pretty hard here and we're hiding under an awning waiting for a break. I took this and punched it up to make it more interesting. New Albany, Indiana
