This chain is a barrier, meant to block the stairs. The sign says "closed in winter - slip danger". The door is the entrance of the University.
First test of my new Jokie light barrier. Seems to work fine... Details cmp.: www.eltima-electronic.de/jokie.html
Sorry, no setup shot this time. Well, the setup is like in the manual: light barrier, lemon slice falling through, two flashes against the background (white door). Perhaps interesting: latency of my EOS 500D is approx 30 ms, with mirror lockup: approx 23 ms. So I do not need to use bulb mode and flash triggering, I just trigger the cam (falling height of the lemon is 30..35 cm).
Construction of Broken Hill's Technical College commenced in 1900. Unveiled on the 1st of May 1901, it served as a Technical College, Art Gallery, and Museum. In 1903 George McCulloch, of Broken Hill Mining Company's "Syndicate of Seven", donated a number of original British works which became the nucleus of the Broken Hill Gallery collection. The gallery was opened on the 11th of October 1904 by Lord Northcote, Governer General of Australia. In 1916 the Principal of the Technical College, Mr P C Riddell saw the benefit of establishing partnerships with Sydney galleries and museums. This led in 1918 to the arrival of the first of many exhibitions on loan from the Sydney Technological Museum, the British Museum, and other sources. The Art Gallery's collection grew through the purchase of works by prominent Australian artists such as Norman Lindsay. The art collection was moved to the new Civic Centre in the late 1960s and the Museum was closed on the 13th of November 1987. The Library was established on the site of the Museum in 1991.
The Museum's Bird Collection:
In 1932 a collection of 42 birds was established at the Museum, most of which were donated by Mr W D K Magillivray, one of the founders of the Barrier Field Naturalists' Club. A co-founder of this club in 1920 was Albert Morris, who remained the club secretary until his death in 1939. Albert Morris advised planting a belt of vegetation around Broken Hill to reduce the impact of dust storms in the city, and in pursuit of this goal collected about 7000 plan specimens from far west New South Wales. Another prominent member of the Barrier Naturalists' Club was Sir Maurice Mawby, noted for his contribution to Australian mining, and for his achievements as a student of the Broken Hill Technical College. The birds remaining at the College are a part of the original display.

Out on an evening adventure to the South side of the Thames Barrier. I use a six stop ND filter to get a long exposure.
Concrete Tank Barriers at Port Kembla Heritage Park. High concrete tetrahedrons originally placed on beach to prevent tank movement. These were originally located at Berkeley Harbour.
The Thames Barrier is the world's second-largest movable flood barrier and is located downstream of central London, United Kingdom. Operational since 1982, its purpose is to prevent the floodplain of all but the easternmost boroughs of Greater London from being flooded by exceptionally high tides and storm surges moving up from the North Sea. When needed, it is closed (raised) during high tide; at low tide it can be opened to enhance the river's flow towards the sea.
The Thames Barrier is a flood control structure on the River Thames, constructed between 1974 and 1984 at Woolwich Reach, London. It is the world's second largest movable flood barrier (the largest is the Maeslantkering in The Netherlands).
Located downstream of central London, the barrier's purpose is to prevent London being flooded by an exceptionally high tide moving up from the sea, exacerbated by a storm surge. It only needs to be raised for the duration of the high tide; at low tide it can be opened to release water flowing down the Thames which backs up behind it.

Some work going on in my street - an upgrade to the BT internet. I don't recall any notification of the work, but only a minor inconvenience. No direct benefit for me, as I'm with a different provider at the moment
