Interesting pink painted stones in the lower part of the house, matched by pink painted bricks in the wall. All very curious. The doorway to the right is original. I am not sure what lurks behind the porch extension. The satellite dish is wildly out of keeping.
I loved the colors in this photo...the kilt cracked me up too. Patrick clearly thought he was judging a Highland Games on this day.

Clad in their bright yellow school uniforms, the young school children at the Exodus Junior Academy in Juba welcomed the arrival of peacekeepers serving with the United Nations Mission in South Sudan with a song and dance about trees.
“Let us give back to nature by planting trees. Let us plant trees for better learning, let us plant trees for a better future,” the students’ voices rang out in chorus as the team from the mission pulled up.
Why this joyous musical outburst about embellishing their school on the outskirts of the capital with more greenery? Because planting trees, and showing the pupils how to do it, was the reason for the peacekeepers’ special visit. The activity was part of the UN mission’s Carbon Sink Initiative, designed to reduce its ecological footprint in the country.
Founded in 2015 with an initial 70 pupils, enrolment at Exodus is currently up to nearly 200, having persevered through the outbreak of conflict in Juba in 2016, which nearly brought the school to its knees. Now the quaint-looking structure, built out of bamboo, teak poles, mud walls and a roof made of iron sheets, stands proud.
The young boys and girls, on the other hand, stood curious and eager to learn around Farai Mushayavanhu, an environmental education officer from UNMISS. Holding a petite mahogany seedling, he explained in detail the proper steps and procedures to nurture and care for the sapling.
Rebecca Ladu, a girl from Primary Five, showed particular interest.
“We learned how we can plant trees today. We can get sources of medicine. We can sit under the tree. We can even get fruits. It will make our school beautiful,” she said.
The little tree, when firmly set in the ground, was off to a great start in life: seconds after being planted it was welcomed by drops of water falling down from the sky. Its addition to the school, placed directly in the middle of the otherwise drab compound, was greeted with enthusiasm for the learning opportunities it would provide.
“Having trees in our compound is going to enhance the learning of our pupils and they will become more competent in issues concerning nature and the environment,” said Sokiri Ambamba George, Headmaster of Exodous.
“This is going to enrich our environment and our pupils are going to benefit from the shade, nurturing environment, good weather conditions, and fruits that we are going to get from the trees,” he added.
The Carbon Sink Initiative, led by the peacekeeping mission’s environmental engineering section and undertaken in collaboration with the government of South Sudan, is distributing 5,000 indigenous tree seedlings across the mission and to various schools, sports centres, and institutions.
As the rain started coming down more heavily, the planting of the remaining seventeen trees, including mango, lemon, guava, and teak, was postponed. The learning session, however, has just started.

Endosseous labyrinths of the left inner ears of some saurischian taxa derived from surface renderings of CT images, displayed on a cladogram. From left: the basal theropod Herrerasaurus ischigualastensis (MCZ 7063), the basal sauropodomorph Massospondylus carinatus (BP/1/4779), the basal eusauropod Spinophorosaurus nigerensis (GCP-CV-4229), the basal diplodocoid Nigersaurus taqueti (MNN GAD512), the derived diplodocoid Diplodocus longus (CM 3452), the basal macronarian Camarasaurus lentus (CM 11338), the basal titanosauriform Giraffatitan brancai (MB.R.2180.22.1-4), and the titanosaurian Jainosaurus septentrionalis (ISI R162). With respect to that of other sauropods, the vestibular system of Spinophorosaurus is highly remarkable in its elongate semicircular canals and its overall large dimensions (both absolutely and in relation to body size).
A newer house, perhaps on bomb damaged land. Its neighbours have stuck with the original wood and brick finish, but this is quite an exciting departure, perhaps influenced by cladding on older bay fronted houses in the neighbourhood. I rather like its boldness.

This amazing bird is one of only two Lyrebirds on earth and endemic to the rainforest clad ranges surrounding Mt Warning on the NSW QLD border (Australia). Lyrebirds and Scrubirds are the most ancient lineage of songbirds on earth dating back to the supercontinent Gondwana. Also not surprisingly one of the worlds two Scrubirds also occurs in Lamington NP though I am yet to see let alone photograph one.
These birds are incredibly difficult to photograph in the wild due to their shy nature and the lack of light in the dim rainforest understorey. Normally when walking in the rainforest you have less than 3 seconds to get a photo of a Lyrebird before it runs off into the undergrowth. I have walked in the rainforest and seen many Lyrebirds yet never managed to even get a single photo of them before your camera is out of the bag they are gone.
Even if you do happen to come across a male doing his beauitful display and vocal mimicry he is usually hidden in the dense tangled rainforest undergrowth even though you can hear him some 10m away. Last time I visited Lamington this was my experience I heard a whole display from a vine tangle but hardly sighted the bird at all.
This time we got lucky the bird was less than 5m off the path and only in a semi dense understorey, he was also too busy impressing the females to run away. I has also better prepaired with the right camera gear that I lacked before, carying an Olympus E3 image stabilzed DSLR and the superlative Zuiko150mm f2.0 telephoto lens on a monopod. This lens due to its f2.0 apature sucks in light like a vacuume cleaner and is sharper than a razor blade at this wide open setting. Still with this wonderlens and image stabilization and monopod I had to use ISO 1600 to capture this series of images at 1/80th second shutter speed.
Even with some of the best gear good luck and determination I was unable to capture a perfect image due to the Dianella Foliage in front of the bird. I am determined to do better next time.
“We will take it from here Police Chief Robert Richards. Tell the few men that you have to leave the area at once. This is our investigation now.”
“I’ll be honest with you, this all seems a little fishy. Refresh my memory. You’re with the -STATEMENT CENSORED-? I’ve never heard of such a government organization.”
Unmarked gray vans had arrived unexpectedly about an hour ago bringing with them numerous individuals; some outfitted with unusual biohazard gear which covered their figure from head to toe and concealed their faces, while the rest were all dressed in simple gray suits who began flashing badges and taking quick control over the crime scene that was Martel’s cabin. Chief Richards knew this was a very unorthodox situation but was seemingly outranked by these newcomers. The man he now spoke with clenched both fists slowly, creating a muffled squeak from black leather gloves which were unique to all the other barehanded agents belonging to this unheard of organization.
“And I in turn will be honest with you Police Chief Robert Richards. The examination of the events which have taken place here is far beyond that of the resources your department can offer. Do you find there to be a problem with our credentials?”
Chief Richards was going to reply with a simple rebuttal which would only have wasted time, for all of their paperwork did check out, but before a breath could be taken the agent in the gray suit and black gloves responded having barely finished his last sentence.
“I did not think so. Thank you for your cooperation.”
His head still spinning with questions, Chief Richards gathered his men and looked back at the scene in a contempt form of wonder as the gray clad organization swarmed the area photographing, examining, and in the end removing everything that was not nailed down from the cabin. Each van was quickly being filled in a controlled manner with books, jars, and some stranger items that made Chief Richards take a second glance, unsure of what he saw. Even simple furniture was not spared in this well arranged whirlwind of confiscation.

A fine mixture of grey white and red. Geraniums carefully chosen to harmonise with the cladding. Excellent.
If I had a do –over, I might have tried shaping the cladding with a heat gun and worked on ways to hide the zip ties – Such is life.
