The map is wrong, this is not in Bexley, but in Palmers Road, New Brighton. Bexley is the other side of the Avon River.
Thank you for taking the time to view my photo, and for the faves and comments you make.

A local power utility station in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. I like the way a long lens can flatten a scene and create a sense of chaos in an image. Here, the out of focus posts are fairly close to the camera, whereas the utility station is quite far away.
One day in June, I decided to load up a couple of old cameras with some 135 format, black and white, film. One was a Nikon FTn with a 35 mm lens that I gave to me daughters. They are seven and nine years old, and were interested in learning some photography. I loaded a Spotmatic 1 for myself. I planned to shoot the whole roll with a 300 mm lens, but some of the shots were taken with other lenses.
Check out an album containing more of my photos shot in 2018.

A small spaceship I imagine being some sort of exploratory vehicle operating out of a larger space station. The build was a fun vessel for messing with angles possible using cheese slopes,
It was colder today so, after our state sanctioned exercise walk outside, I sat in the kitchen for half an hour and sketched the utility room throughout open door. Some of these houses have had the two rooms made into one to enlarge the kitchen but we prefer to have the original arrangement. The room is formed in a little structure with a lean-to roof, ideal for housing the washing machine, fridge and boiler that frees up space in the kitchen and removes the noise of the appliance a bit further from the living rooms. It was originally a wash house and wc, the shelf we use for the microwave and toaster formerly being where the sink was. Having been the wash house it conveniently has a drain and water supply separate to the kitchen. We have had the wc removed, providing more storage space.

Have a wonderful week, everyone!
Wild flowers growing nearby decorate this Utility Box! They appear to be wild daisies. It makes an otherwise plain box get some beauty!
Really old build, like from almost three years ago. I was really happy with it when I built it, just never came up with a name I liked until I tried some more today. Happy to finally post it now though!! Expect a scene soon too, I've been working on one and I'm really liking how it's turning out. Check out my instagram (@legomania211) for updates on that and any other LEGO stuff.
Fat chair/bench among the water meters. . . a place for the gardener to eat his lunch, perhaps, back in the days when there were hired gardeners? A curious frame. . .
HBM!!
I appreciate what appears to be a handmade chair--certainly not bought ready-made from a store--back in the 1920s.

The vignetting was not intentional, but is a happy accident.
A trio of ex-CNJ GP40s spend the night west of the Hoboken Engine House. Of the order of 13 engines only five are currently in service with two still pulling passenger trains. The remaining eight are either in various stages of rebuilt to dedicated work engines or have been placed in storage for eventual rebuild.

Ten structures are recognised on this level of Skara Brae. The best appointed, the showpiece, is structure 7. Problematically it is contained and protected beneath a roof making it the one you cannot see. What I have read suggests that some of the current structures, not including numbers 9 and 10, are built on top of earlier, reworked structures. You can't see them either for the new ones on top.
Except for a single structure, all the others are fitted out as domestic spaces for storage, sleeping, even excreting. There are architectural clues described as "dressers" and "beds". This one, structure 8, has the obligatory hearth but is missing the niceties of the domestic spaces. According to artefacts discovered here this was a utility space — a workshop — if that term appeals.
Such things speak of a degree of sophistication, of specialisation and resource availability; two of which are time and enough food to relieve someone from its production to do something else. Effort is needed to build a structure other than in which to exist and subsist. It would be fair to argue that by Skara Brae's time life wasn't only nasty, short and brutish. Time for monuments, for meeting places, for a shed to build stuff speaks of a stable, resourceful and capable community — even if home was a stone-lined hole. Perhaps we aren't so clever? Five thousand years ago there was cooperation and indoor plumbing — I've spent great slabs of my life with neither.
