This tiny acorn is about a half-inch tall. I managed to get it to lean on its tip, and got the light just right.

These magnificent columns stand at the entry to one of colonial architect John Lee Archer's finest buildings. Archer (1792-1852) is most famous for coming up with the basic design for the Ross Bridge (1836), which stonemason Daniel Herbert then set about turning into a masterpiece of symbolic design. You can check out my album on "The Story of the Ross Bridge". www.flickr.com/photos/183221334@N02/albums/72157716105920156

I could have titled this "Memories of Max", but that would have been presumptuous. The great Australian photographer of the 20th century Max Dupain (1911-1992), although well known for his iconic Australian landscapes and beach scenes, was a superb architectural photographer. In 1963 he published a book for the National Trust on Georgian architecture in NSW and Tasmania. It is loaded with magnificent monochromes. Here's a link (not to promote the selling site), but to give you an opportunity to scan some of its pages that are displayed here. It's a wonderful collection of historic photographs:

Museum van Bommel van Dam, the museum for modern and contemporary art in North Limburg, is presenting an anniversary exhibition this fall of the realistic painter Evert Thielen (1954), born in Venlo. For over 50 years, he has been making extremely detailed paintings and meter-high polyptychs with self-made paint and gives his own twist to classical genres.

This neo-classical building in downtown Johannesburg dates from 1907, according the decorative wrought iron work on the front entrance. Apart from the Atlantes flanking the entrance, there are various other pieces of statuary adorning the building. It is currently occupied by a school, but I'm sure in times past it was probably home to some or other government department.
The classical view of Hallstatt. Uploaded to the internet a million times (at least). So I asked myself, how can I possibly add something new? For starters, I came in winter, and (of course) I waited for my favorite light which is at blue hour, just when the city lights turn on. And then there was the ferry. I noticed the little ferry boat already during the day and thought its lights might provide nice trails during blue hour. So I studied the schedule and came back to the right place at the right time ...
