A rather cool February night in Wallan, as N469 pulls Seymour bound train #8337 into the platform.
The signaller is seen greeting the driver as the train arrives. The signaller here would alert the driver by radio that the double line block instruments have failed, and it is absolute block working between Wallan and Kilmore East.
It is not yet clear when the Double Line Block instruments will again be operable.
Wallan, Vic.

Prints for "Mappings" solo show at [DAM]Berlin. Based on sound signals. Last minute decision to scale up to 150x100 cm horizontal format rather than the 60x90 vertical cropping.
A tenant-owners' society with 6 buildings and 42 apartments. Built: 2013-14. Architect: Glantz Arkitektstudio.
I placed my Simple Skyline block next to my Intermediate Skyline block, just to see how the skyline will look once it's pieced. I've wanted to do a cityscape quilt for the last couple months and am excited to have the Simply Solids group to help me make it happen!
i started this blanket in april 09 and finished it last night.
it contains 108 squares from 200 crochet blocks by jan eaton. some of the squares i used repeatedly, and some i only used a few times. my method was to create nine squares at a time using three different patterns. i crocheted each pattern three times, using alternating variations of the three yarn colors. (does this make sense to anyone besides me?) the squares were then sewn together using a single crochet on the reverse side. i made sure to never put a square next to another one with the same color border.
i absolutely love this blanket to death. it is definitely my most favorite crochet work.

Eastern State Penitentiary

One of the tops views of Cell Block Seven that is often photographed. I lucked out and got there early enough before anyone else was in the shot
Some info from the E.S.P. website:
"Most eighteenth century prisons were simply large holding pens. Groups of adults and children, men and women, and petty thieves and murderers, sorted out their own affairs behind locked doors. Physical punishment and mutilation were common, and abuse of the prisoners by the guards and overseers was assumed.
In 1787, a group of well-known and powerful Philadelphians convened in the home of Benjamin Franklin. The members of The Philadelphia Society for Alleviating the Miseries of Public Prisons expressed growing concern with the conditions in American and European prisons. Dr. Benjamin Rush spoke on the Society's goal, to see the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania set the international standard in prison design. He proposed a radical idea: to build a true penitentiary, a prison designed to create genuine regret and penitence in the criminal's heart. The concept grew from Enlightenment thinking, but no government had successfully carried out such a program.
It took the Society more than thirty years to convince the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to build the kind of prison it suggested: a revolutionary new building on farmland outside Philadelphia."

Some places the sun just can't reach, always for the better. This was a cloesup shot of a frozen gate in Narusawa Ice Caves. The cave is actually tiny, at least for a big ol' American like me, there's one segment that requires you to get down and crawl, which I guess isn't completely out of the ordinary for most cave explorers but it was for me. Since the tunnels were small, I tried to get up closer for this shot to highlight that small space just a bit more clearly.
What's fascinating is parts of this lava tube aren't just blocked by natural ice, there's a larger reason this gate was here. Some of these tunnels go on for miles and miles, some reaching as far as other islands (most popular theory is Enoshima Island in the east).
The tour itself is still rather small, only around 4 rooms before going back to the surface so it is a self guided tour, and if you plan on going, remember that this is an ICE cave. It doesn't matter how warm it may be outside, you will feel the temperature drop in a drastic way when you descend.
And to make things a bit more mysterious, this cave lies within the acursed Aokigahara Forest, which I am not brave enough to talk about in detail, at least not today.
Blocks are finished & I have a nice Nest inner border ready to go. I don't have enough of the outter border I wanted and I am determined not to buy any fabric to finish ..must go search stash a little harder.
