The station was opened in 1895 as part of the now abandoned Setesdal Line from Kristiansand to Byglandsfjord. The station was the only station on the line to be built with bricks, due to local regulations after the city fire in 1892. Like all other stations on the line, the station was designed by Paul Due.
In 1937, Norsk Spisevognselskap agreed to take over operations of the restaurant when the Sørland Line was completed to Kristiansand. Operations started on 16 June 1938, a week before the line opened. On 9 December 1940, the company decided to invest 100,000 kr in a new restaurant building at the station. It was taken into use on 28 November 1942

The photograph captures a bustling scene in Vienna, Austria. Several people are seated on a concrete ledge in front of a shop called 'WORLD of SOUVENIRS'. The shop window displays a variety of souvenirs, and a large banner above the entrance features a stylized illustration of Vienna's skyline, including the Ferris wheel. The people in the photo are dressed in casual summer clothing, and many are wearing sunglasses. Some are looking at their phones, while others are chatting with each other. The overall impression is one of relaxation and enjoyment.
In 2017, Kristiansand municipality hosted a competition for architects to draw a new building to replace the old and outdated building from 1960. Asplan Viak's suggestion 'Natteravnen' was chosen as the winner, and construction was started in 2018 with plans to complete the new building by late 2019.
PK Entreprenør from Søgne are responsible for building the new terminal. The existing building will be demolished when the new is completed, and replaced by a small park and green-spaces.
One of the most popular hikes in Zion National Park. It's hard to imagine the tiny Virgin River cut out these enormous canyons over that past million(s) years. Great fun.
The Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, previously known as Villa Vizcaya, is the former villa and estate of businessman James Deering, of the Deering McCormick-International Harvester fortune, on Biscayne Bay in the present day Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami, Florida.
The early 20th century Vizcaya estate also includes extensive Italian Renaissance gardens; a native woodland landscape; and a historic village outbuildings compound. The landscape and architecture were influenced by Veneto and Tuscan Italian Renaissance models and designed in the Mediterranean Revival architecture style, with Baroque elements. F. Burrall Hoffman was the architect, Paul Chalfin was the design director, and Diego Suarez was the landscape architect.
Miami-Dade County now owns the Vizcaya property, as the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, which is open to the public. The location is served by the Vizcaya Station of the Miami Metrorail.
The estate property originally consisted of 180 acres (73 ha) of shoreline Mangrove swamps and dense inland native tropical forests. Being a conservationist, Deering sited the development of the estate portion along the shore to conserve the forests. This portion was to include the villa, formal gardens, recreational amenities, expansive lagoon gardens with new islets, potager and grazing fields, and a village services compound. Deering began construction of Vizcaya in 1912 officially beginning occupancy on Christmas Day 1916 when he arrived aboard his yacht Nepenthe.
The villa was built primarily between 1914 and 1922, at a cost of $15 million, while the construction of the extensive elaborate Italian Renaissance gardens and the village continued into 1923. During the World War I years building trades and supplies were difficult to acquire in Florida. Vizcaya is noteworthy for adapting historical European aesthetic traditions to South Florida's subtropical ecoregion. For example; it combined imported French and Italian garden layouts and elements implemented in Cuban limestone stonework with Floridian coral architectural trim and planted with sub-tropic compatible and native plants that thrived in the habitat and climate. Palms and Philodendrons had not been represented in the emulated gardens of Tuscany or Île-de-France.

This portion was to include the villa, formal gardens, recreational amenities, expansive lagoon gardens with new islets, potager and grazing fields, and a village services compound.
Vizcaya was built with an open-air courtyard and extensive gardens on Biscayne Bay. As such, the estate has been subject to environmental and hurricane damage, the latter notably in 1926, 1992, and 2005. Miami-Dade County has granted money ($50m U.S.) for the restoration and preservation of Vizcaya. These funds have been matched by grants from FEMA, Save America's Treasures, and numerous other funders. Plans include the restoration of the villa and gardens, and adaptation of the historic village compound for exhibition and educational facilities; however, additional funds are required for this. The completed first phase of this project has included the rebuilding of the museum's Cafe and Shop (in historic recreation areas of the building adjacent to the pool), renovation of the East and West Gate Lodges that flank South Miami Avenue, and rebuilding of the David A. Klein Orchidarium in a plan that generally uses historic precedent. At the same time, Vizcaya has completed the first half of a major conservation program of its outdoor sculpture collections. With a consulting landscape architect, Vizcaya has too finished a comprehensive cultural landscape report, which will be a vital tool in the ongoing restoration of the formal gardens.

It began to spit a bit but luckily no downpours while we were there.
Final batch from Machu Picchu today then I will move on....reluctantly!
Everyone has been on a beach with the wind blasting the sand every-where. So was the case at the Archway Islands whilst waiting for the low tide and sunset. This was the sand trails on wet sand so hopefully the thought of legs being sand blasted comes across...
Starting to process the back story images from the quickie South Island road trip.

I took the Twirly Camera out to the Oregon Coast recently, and stood on a grassy knoll near the famed Haystack Rock. I avoided a drone, and the mask-optional crowd to get this picture.
I developed it in a new Arista tank that I just bought. They didn’t put the amount of liquid to use, and I had the film in it already, so I estimated. Most tanks take about 500ml for medium format, right? Wrong. The bottom 1/4” was very light. It takes 600ml. I corrected that with the next roll. I lost a little of the bottom of this picture.
Camera: Noblex 06/150
Film: Kodak T-Max 100 developed in Eco-Pro (Xtol) Film Developer.
