I liked the design of the tin sheds in the background, hence the post.
Brisbane airport up till around 20 odd years ago used huge tin hangars like this for their arrival and departure areas and for many years were way behind our other large cities.
In those days arriving in Brisbane was like stepping back in time. I think they were built around Circa WW2.
It was kinda nice to see these again.
These buildings are in the Newstead area of Brisbane and I had to kinda break in (if you call opening a tied off gate breaking in) to a vacant block to get the shots.
New Kids On The Block on the NKOTBSB tour with the Backstreet Boys performing at the Amway Arena in Orlando, Florida on July 22nd, 2011.
Kiddo was awesome last night, and very content to play by himself. I took advantage of his independence and pieced six more of these blocks. I now only need three more and I'll have enough for this quilt top.
Some giant Jenga blocks in a pile. The caption "Build and Fall" sums up the game but also struck me as so very relevant to the state of the Euro at present
So after the first block, I was having too much fun to stop, but realized a quilt was probably a long term project. Decided on a pillow and couldn't stop with this color combo, also it was the colors I had the most text prints in.

I don't remember which cell block number this is from the Eastern State Penitentiary. I think it was closed to guests beyond a certain point.
8 East Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC.
Description of Historic Place:
The Desrosiers Block is located on East Hastings Street on the southern fringe of Vancouver's historic Gastown district. It is a two-storey commercial building with Edwardian archtiectural elements.
Heritage Value:
The heritage value of the Desrosiers Block lies in the historic relationship between this area and the economy of early Vancouver. When Vancouver became the entrepot between the Canadian Pacific Railway and trans-Pacific shipping in 1887, Gastown was its hub. At the turn of the twentieth century, this area of town was developed as a shopping area, as commercial activity spread outward from its early roots in Gastown. The Desrosiers Building is associated with Gastown's history as a mixed-use district.
Michael Desrosiers, a plumber who also operated a retail stove outlet, worked with contractor P. J. Donahue in 1901 to construct this building. Although its larger neighbours on each side emphasize the modest scale of the building, its solid massing and stone detailing give the site substance and significance. This building provides a contrast in scale, massing, detailing and use, demonstrating the variety of architectural styles and functions established along Hastings Street. By 1908 the tenants included two liquor stores and a barber, catering to a largely male clientele. In 1913 a restaurant was opened in the Desrosiers Block. The retail use continues today.

Character-Defining Elements:
The character-defining elements of the Desrosiers Block include:
- the physical and stylistic relationship between this building and its higher neighbours within the Gastown historic district
- form, scale and massing
- its siting on the property line, with no setbacks
- Edwardian architectural elements, such as moulded sheet metal parapet, projecting pediment inscribed "Desrosiers Block" supported by circular columns on each side, stone decorated brackets supporting cornice with dentils, medallions at top of three stone pilasters between windows, pattern of fenestration (four large double-hung one-over-one sash windows set in stone surrounds), rusticated stone string courses above ground floor level, and horizontal stepped string course above windows
- continued retail use of ground floor
Taken at the Portsmouth Roller Wenches bout at Horizon Leisure Centre. Two bouts between the Portsmouth A Team against the Bristol Harbour Harlots and the Portsmouth B Team against the Bath Roller Derby Girls.
Great wins by both Portsmouth teams.
I was lucky enough to be next to a team member (not playing) who was able to fill me in with some of the finer points of play so thanks to Admiral, hope your stats looked good :-)

The thud of a blocked football kick is music to my ears. This was really cool.
...spruce blocks and linings for a change. Somehow the ribs seem 'crisper' soundwise when working on them. Sort of figures as willow is pretty rubbery stuff.
This is the latest violin - made on the Bergonzi mould from the last bit of my Scottish Sycamore.
I happened to be walking down 15th St to get some pictures of the snow in Washington, when a motorcade left the White House. Unfortunately, the camera I was using is lousy for capturing this kind of fast moving action.
In Brooklyn, South of Atlantic Avenue, vehicles use either the shoulder of the road or the bicycle lane to pass other vehicles. They create a passing on the right lane and zoom around traffic when the light turns green.

I liked this block design, but modified it so the "pinwheel" is floating instead of touching the edges. I hope you all like your blocks. I had fun developing the template and then cutting and sewing.

There is ONE print missing...can you guess?
Here's a hint. It rhymes with "sporange fubble plots".
Anyone got some orange bubble dots to share to help me complete this set? it would be so sad to have it be incomplete, don't you think?
