Menachem Begin Park is a vast open park named after former Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin. The park is also known as the Southern Park because of because it is located southern part of Tel Aviv. There is a lake and a petting zoo there.
I am not the only one enjoying the action in the street of the hotel :) He is quite comfy in the middle of the road
Tumut. The town nestles along the Tumut River, a tributary of the Murrumbidgee which it joins in Gundagai. It begins about 40 kms from Mt Kosciusko in Kosciusko National Park and it has three dam/reservoirs along it as part of the Snowy Mountains Scheme hydroelectric power generation system. Tumut has over 800 mm of rain yearly. Hamilton Hume discovered the Tumut River in 1824 and the first white squatter Benjamin Warby arrived in 1828 at Darbalara although he and the ones who followed him only became licensed leaseholders from 1839. They included George and William Shelley of Been (Tumut Plains) station. Shelley senior was a missionary and they are credited with making sure there were no Aboriginal deaths or massacres near Tumut. More settles arrived in the 1840s when land leasing was legal. A courthouse was established in 1845. The town was laid out in 1848 and a police constable was appointed. But by 1856 few buildings were more than mere slab huts. The first Post Office in 1849 operated from the Courthouse. Like Gundagai the original town site moved up the hill after the 1852 Tumut River floods. In 1860 thousands passed through the small town on their way to the goldfields at Kiandra (1859) in the Snowy Mountains and later to Adelong on the plains. Tumut emerged as a solid town. With gold came bushrangers and Ned Kelly’s brother operated in this district in the 1870s. By 1866 there were eleven hotels in the town and the town population was around 400; in 1887 Tumut became a municipality; and in 1903 the branch railway line from Gundagai reached the town. Dairying and forestry became major district industries in the 20th century and the Tumut River became a major site for hydroelectric power. Blowering Dam was built just above the town with Tumut 1, 2 and 3 power stations on the Tumut River. In autumn the Lombardy Poplars along the Tumut River display great colour. They were planted in 1861. More autumn colour can be found in the Avenue of Elms which leads to the racecourse, thus it is not surprising that Tumut established the Festival of the Falling Leaf in the 1950s. Tumut was one of the many sites considered for the National Capital by a Royal Commission but Canberra was finally selected for that. Tumut was selected by the House of Representatives in 1904 but then replaced by Bombala and then the Senate replaced it with Dalgety. But the NSW parliament refused to cede land around Dalgety so four years later after much politicking a site near Yass was finally approved. All places considered had to have good flat land, a good water supply and be further than 100 miles from Sydney.
The town’s historic buildings include:
1. On the way into town from Gundagai is the Old Tumut Butter Factory. It was established in 1902 and is now the Information Centre. Opposite it is the Broom Factory. It was established in 1946 by the Tumut Cooperative Millet Society. It went into private ownership in 1978 and still makes by hand traditional millet brooms. In the 1920s Tumut had 120 millet producers. Today it has just three. It is the only broom factory left in Australia.
2. Next on left is the Catholic Church. The first red brick church built in 1859 is used by the Catholic School as a hall. The fine blue granite church opened in 1878. It is known for its Rusconi marble altar and German stained glass windows. The nuns opened the present Catholic School in 1883 and their convent was finished in 1886.
3. At the roundabout turn right to the Presbyterian Church. The first Presbyterian was built in 1856 elsewhere. This current Uniting Church was built in 1878 as the Presbyterian Church.
4. In the Main St. before the second roundabout is the School of Arts. Built in 1891. It has a beautiful classical style façade with good symmetry.
5. Next to it is the Bank of NSW now Westpac. A classical colonnaded building of 1891 with Ionic columns.
6. Diagonally from it is the Commercial Bank of Sydney with fluted iron columns and French windows in the upstairs residence. Now a NAB Bank. Built in 1889 by Mansfield brothers architects.
7. Right is the Royal Hotel. The upper French windows date it to about 1860 when the Kiandra gold rush began. It was formerly known as the Rising Moon Hotel.
8. The Oriental Hotel. Built in 1876 replacing an earlier 1850 hotel. It has fine cast iron lacework on the balcony.
9. On the opposite corner is the Courthouse. Architect was James Barnet. Built in 1878. The stables were erected in 1879 and the police station completed in 1874. Beside the Police Station is the Tumut Official Residence built in 1896 in Queen Anne Federation style with rounded window, gable, veranda with wooden posts etc.
10. Worte’s cottage. Polychromatic red brick with yellow brick quoins. Decorative fretwork on barge boards. Pretty bay window. Street facing gable. Built around 1890.
11. Further down the street at next intersection is the Anglican Church. A church barn was built in 1857 and this grand church was designed by architect Edmund Blacket who designed the Carcoar Church, the University of Sydney quadrangle etc. It was started in 1875 and completed in 1878. Note the dark brick work patterns beneath the quadruple façade windows. Tower completed in 1881. Have a look inside too.

New York, this weekend.
Edinburgh, March and July.
London, Fall 2012.
I thought I'd be living in NY by now, but definitely too broke. Thought I'd be living in London by this summer, but to many commitments. Thought being home would be relaxing after the stress of last year, but it turns out it isn't, there are only different obstacles.
But it's okay, I like it all anyway. And I will probably miss Rochester like crazy when I'm gone!
I was testing a new infrared filter to photograph steel pouring because of the already extreme dynamic range.
The infrared sensitivity of cameras is often completely overwhelmed by the IR radiation from the molten metal making a bad dynamic range situation even worse.
This is a bit overexposed, but more dramatic for it, lol. I never get tired of watching this scene and I am standing on a walkway behind the crane that will move the ladle..

The announcement this week that XC will cease operating their HST fleet in September , the last day being the 18th September , will no doubt have caused some discussion amongst XC staff .

Sadly, this is one of the few photographs I’ve made this summer. It’s an image of my field crew taken up along the Moose River, and they have been busy. You see, I manage conservation lands in Maine, which means that I get to spend time with some incredibly inspirational individuals. Self-motivated, team oriented, smart, thoughtful, inquisitive, dedicated to task-at-hand, and environmentally conscious… These people represent the best of young America, a cross-section spanning the country, and it’s my pleasure to cheer them on.
They’ve been focusing their boundless energy on rebuilding an old Fire Warden’s trail, leading to the summit of No. 5 Mountain. The three mile pathway dates back to the 1930’s. Few switchbacks or erosion control measures, so over the past 80 years it has significantly degraded. But the crew has been rebuilding and rerouting. Diverting water with rock and wood… Turnpikes, waterbars, bog bridging, optimizing trail grade, French drains, bench cuts, stone staircases… The end goal is protecting the resource while ensuring visitor connection to the outdoors, and I’m positive that they’ve met their mark.
I’m so lucky to have had this time with them. A humbling experience... And as the shirts say, Conservation Begins Here. Yes, our shared natural heritage is in good hands. So, who wants to go for a hike?
