Exposition des "structures sonores" de François et Bernard Baschet, pendant le festival 'les hivernautes' à Quimper (France) en février 2007
Exhibition of the sound structures of François and Bernard Baschet, during the festival 'hivernautes' in Quimper (France) in February 2007.
This rock structures replicates one of the oldest buildings in the Waldensian Valleys. Build in the Middle Ages, it served as a meeting place and seminary for the Waldensian pastors, called Barbas.
The bottom room doubled as a stable for the animals, their body heat helping to heat the room above.
Two rooms above; one room serving as a living-study-kitchen with stone table where aspiring young missionaries studied with older, more experienced ministers, and the other a sleeping quarter.
The top level has a large stable area with a loft for the hay above it.
External support structure for a large fuel tank that changes size based on how full it is. Guess it was empty that day =)
edit: This no longer exists. To my surprise, it was torn down two weeks after this photo was taken.
Exposed stitching is very pretty and could be decorated with beads or charms. This is a longstitch with kettle stitches at top and bottom.

The Chilocco Indian Agricultural School campus contains 76 total resources, including buildings, structures, sites, and objects. This historic district is eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion A at the national level of significance as an intact district that embodies the federal government’s policies toward the education of Native American children from the inception of the non-reservation system in the late 19th century through the mid 20th century. Established as one of the first wave of schools modeled after Carlisle Indian School, Chilocco offered academic and vocational training to children of tribes across the United States. Its mission of assimilation and the acculturation matured as advances in educational theory and relations between the federal government and tribes improved. The campus, abandoned as a school in 1980, embodies in its buildings, structures, and layout the philosophy of the Bureau of Indian Affairs policies. Its collection of historic buildings, its overall historic integrity is second to none among the significant non-reservation schools, including sister school Haskell Institute (NHL) in Kansas and the model school Carlisle Indian School (NHL) in Pennsylvania.
The Chilocco Indian Agricultural School is also significant at the state level under Criterion C for its cohesive collection of limestone buildings, built by the federal government. The use of locally quarried stone in the vast majority of the buildings on campus provides a unity of design, a continuity of theme, and a visual cohesion that is rivaled only by the facilities at Fort Sill, a cavalry fort established in the 1870s and designated an NHL in 1960. The stylistic elements of the campus reflect the maturity of the school from its inception in the 1880s through its eventual abandonment in 1980. Buildings representing different eras, direct functions, and different stylistic vocabularies are unified by the common use of quarry faced limestone.

Here you see some impressions taken from an old, ruinous house in prerow. I like it to play with those morbide structures ...
The site for the Tyne Cot Cemetery and Memorial had been a German strongpoint. Three pill-boxes remained when the Commonwealth War Graves Commission too over the ste, the largest of which had been used by the Allied forces as an Advanced Dressing Station.
When King George V visited the site in 1922 he suggested that the Cross of Sacrifice be mounted on top of the largest pill-box. One of the two smaller pill-boxes is shown here, integrated into the overall structure of the cemetery.

The structure is composed of 4x4's sunk 24 to 30 inches in the ground. The tank now has a tin roof to keep the tank lid dry, and house the differential temperature controller that operates the pumps. There is one pump for the front set, and one pump for the rear set of panels. The eventual plan is to have a total of 12 panels in both rows for a total of 24 heat collecting solar panels.

On Scene with the Bridgeport Fire Department with a structure fire at 88 Horace St. Crews were called for a fire in the upper floors of a 2.5 story OMD. The first due engine and truck found the second floor and attic well involved with heavy fire coming out of the second floor porch. A special call was put in for addional engines and the safety officer due to the extent of the fire and the summer heat. The fire was knocked down in about 30 minutes but the structure required extensive overhaul to be sure all of the fire was extinguished. Representatives of the City's Fire Investigation Unit responded to process the scene and interview any and all witnesses to the fire. Though several families and thier pets were displaced no injuries were reported as a result of this fire.
The zip on my coat that's managed to keep me warm this winter, it's presumably not supposed to be that silver colour and is actually just brass that is coated for looks.
Shot using my Sigma 30mm f/1.4 attached to my Canon 400D backwards using a cheap filter converter (it screws into the filter thread on the front of the lens).
Focus was set to infinity, and was lighted using the on board flash; which didn't go so bad!
Statement of significance from Southern Grampians Heritage Study - Heritage Matters Pty Ltd
What is significant?
The Byaduk Swimming Pool, located on the Penshurst-Byaduk Road is a concrete swimming pool constructed by a committee of local people in the 1930s. It was the first swimming pool ever constructed in the Shire of Southern Grampians, and at the time was considered to be quite an engineering feat. The creek nearby was diverted and dammed and used to fill and clean the pool be moving through it, and the whole structure was dug by hand. People came from long distances, and sometimes from larger towns such as Hamilton to use the pool. The Pool is no longer used, but provided a focus for entertainment to the children and families of the district every Summer for over 50 years. The Byaduk Swimming Pool complex consists of an inground concrete swimming pool with timber diving board, separate male and female changing rooms, an covered seating area, and a kiosk. No architect, engineer or specific builder was used in the construction of the structure. The pool is remarkably intact, despite being overgrown and weed infested.
How is it significant?
The Byaduk Swimming Pool complex is of architectural, historical and social significance to the Southern Grampians Shire.
Why is it significant?
The Byaduk Swimming Pool complex is architecturally significant as a rare intact example of a rural swimming pool complex designed the early 1930s. It is of further architectural significance as an excellent example of a hand dug swimming pool, and for its use of engineering intelligence, which diverted the local creek through the strucutre to both fill and clean it. The pool is of historical significance as an example of a small community co-operating to build a substantial structure for the benefit of all in the community. Of further historical significance is the pool's representation of the social movement toward health and wellbeing, popular in the late 1920s and early 1930s. It is socially significant as an important meeting place for the Byaduk community for over fifty years.
