Barometers meant to be used at sea-level don't work that well at 3400ft! (Calgary, Alberta)
If you view it large, you can see how far past 'very dry' the barometer arm is!
Kings Park, Perth, Western Australia.
Located near the Western Australian Botanic Garden entrance, the floral clock features Australian plants as roman numerals and is surrounded by a range of Western Australian native plants. In spring the clock and surrounding beds burst into colour with a spectacular sample of the botanic garden's most colourful annual and perennial blooms.
Originally unveiled in 1962, Kings Park's beloved Floral Clock was built because of a bequest from Western Australian pastoralist Mr F Wittenoom.
Over the years, the blooming timepiece has been relocated and updated from its initial incarnation in a traditional cuckoo clock style and Swiss Chalet outside the former tearooms, to its present design opposite the entry to the Western Australian Botanic Garden.
In 2022, the clock was given a modern makeover debuting new aluminium hands decorated with work from Western Australian artist Emma Blyth. The custom-made artwork features banksias, red-tailed black cockatoos, and Western Australia’s floral emblem - the red and green kangaroo paw - capturing the natural beauty of local flora and fauna.
Unitarian church in Belmont. Perspective made the tower look a little funny but I think it's symmetrical in real life.
Lillsden school for girls has been left un attended for many years now. There are not many ways to get in and there have been reports of people falling to thier death in this building, notably of course trying to take the lead from the roof. The loss of the lead roofing had opened up the school to all weather types leaving it in an almost state of disrepair.
I whent here with my friend who infact actuially attended the school when it was open and was part of the last class that graced the halls with thier presence many years ago, it was amazing to hear all of her little stories about being banned from buildings and even being told off on the "golden landing".
a real remarkable place and a right shame that people have scrawled ovr walls and mirrors.
Yes, we decided at 5:30 p.m. to leave for Oregon that night (vs. waiting until the morning per the original plan). We booked a non-refundable hotel in Ashland, packed, fed and bathed the girls, and took off around 8:30 p.m.
I got carsick an hour later and Justin was ready to fall asleep by 10:30 p.m.
At Redding we were so exhausted that we thought we might just have to bite the bullet and pay for two hotels that night. We arrived in Ashland at approximately 3:25 a.m.
(and of course the girls got up at 7:30 a.m. per usual)
We decided to go for a late night drive today to get some night shots. I took a bunch of cars driving past on the street and a bunch of the clock tower from a different angle. I spotted this shot with the clock framed in the tree right as I was taking my tripod down to put back in the car. Glad I looked up!
There are ridiculously engineered gears in here that do different things depending on twisting and pulling the knob.
