I read the comprehensive book my travel agent prepared for me for our trip to Western Canada again last night . It said the Peak 2 Peak experience at Whistler would give me spectacular views over the mountains . Clearly the weather gods had not read the book, we got spectacular views of low cloud mist and drizzle
To use the Peak 2 peak you have to take a gondola either up Whistler or Blackcomb mountain which takes about 25 minutes . You then take the Peak 2 Peak that crosses over the Fitzsimmons Creek valley between the two mountains and it feels like you are hanging in space . Perhaps the weather that day meant it was fairly quiet we shared a cabin with two Canadian women who rode it regularly and clearly loved it . On the return trip we were on our own, what was odd was how quiet the machine was it was very peaceful and dreamlike slowly drifting through the mist across space .
I am not one for getting excited by engineering but this was an exception the design of this thing was clearly of a very high quality . A few facts about the peak 2 peak . It is the worlds highest lift of its type , it's the worlds longest unsupported span . The total length is 2.7 miles of which 1.8 is unsupported by any towers the highest point is 1427 feet above the valley bottom .
At the top of Whistler mountain you can even climb higher and walk across the Cloudraker Skybridge and Raven’s Eye Cliff Walk. This was pretty scary but I will post a shot of it sometime
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.

The Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre (VCCC) is a unique and ambitious endeavour.
This new facility, delivered as a public private partnership between the Victorian Government and the Plenary Health consortium, has been designed to be a landmark Melbourne site, in a renowned biomedical precinct.
The outside of the window is comprehensive: Building, trees, highway, fence, sidewalk. I think it's a nice whole.
De buitenkant van het raam is veelomvattend: Gebouw, bomen, autoweg, hek, stoep. Een leuk geheel vind ik.

One of the benefits of using Richmond Station in south-west London is that it’s the beginning (or the end) of the London Overground train system – or, to be precise, one of its branches. From here, the train travels eastwards out to Stratford, 22 stops away. The Overground is quite a comprehensive network, visiting destinations such as Chingford, Barking, Croydon, Watford, Cheshunt and Upminster.
But back to Richmond. Travelling outwards, the advantage here is that you can be sure of a seat. As you can see here.

Taking advantage of the beautiful lighting in and around the British Museum on a lunchtime stroll. Established in 1753 Its permanent collection, numbering some 8 million works, is among the largest and most comprehensive in existence.
The almost completed VCCC
The Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre (VCCC) Project is a $1 billion world-class cancer centre for the prevention, detection and treatment of cancer.
Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Melbourne Health and The University of Melbourne comprise the building partners for this project. The project will provide a brand new home for the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and new cancer research and clinical services for Melbourne Health (including the Royal Melbourne Hospital), new cancer research facilities for The University of Melbourne and new education facilities for all building partners.
The development comprises a new 13-storey building bordering Flemington Road, Grattan Street and Elizabeth Street known as the 'South site', and the construction of four new floors on top of the existing Royal Melbourne Hospital (RMH), known as the 'North site'. The new building and the extension to RMH will be linked by covered bridges above Grattan Street, allowing cancer patients, visitors and staff to move between the two buildings.

My Flickr is not only my life's work: it is a comprehensive, if not detailed, photographic document of my life. To have lived my life as openly and as quasi-publicly as this has brought many boons and blessings to me. However, there have also been prices to be paid, and in writing and publishing what follows I pay the highest and most difficult cost yet.
Somebody wants to hurt me. A few days ago, a Flickr member with the account name 'Guess what TGKW did last summer?' posted comments to several of my photographs which read 'This is not spam. Want to see what a naughty boy Tom is?' and included with them a link to a video of me having sex. The story of the video and others like it is not important: suffice it to say that once something is on the internet it's not going away. I will, however, provide some background.
I have, throughout all my teenage and adult life, battled with issues around sex. I persisted in, and still fight against, the bizarre, adolescent belief that getting to have sex with whomever one wants whenever one wants to is a cure for human despair. Eventually, I sought counselling and therapy for sex addiction. I consider the problem to be under control now, but for several years I was unable to maintain stable, healthy relationships, and I spent much of my life wracked with guilt at having caused a great deal of pain to those I cared for most, and probably to people I don't even know. To that latter group, I can only offer a vague statement of apology and regret. I have never acted with malice or vengeance, never once wanted to hurt another human being, but through selfishness, thoughtlessness and insensitivity I did so anyway. It therefore comes as no surprise to me that somebody wants to cause me pain.
I'm not particularly ashamed or embarrassed that there are sex videos of me online. My perspective may be narrow, but I can't see that they hurt anyone. I know that my friends won't care. I know that my partner - without whose encouragement and ability to make me laugh a lot about the whole thing I probably wouldn't be writing this now - doesn't care. I hope they won't affect my professional life, but my reason for wishing to keep them a secret - or at least confined to the seamy underbelly of the internet - would be to spare embarrassment and hurt for my family, who I know - and I assume my attacker knows - reads my Flickr regularly.
As my public profile increased over the years, the fear that my family would someday, somehow, find out about them chewed at a little corner of my heart. Now that a threat or an attempt to make them public has been made, that fear has become very real. I could allow it to consume me; to wait, ever fearful, for my attacker to strike again.
Instead, I have chosen to write this: to confess, and to make it public knowledge on my own terms, so that nobody can try to hurt or to embarrass me, my friends or my family with this ever again.

Comprehensive School Kaiserplatz (formerly Marianne-Rhodius Girls' Secondary School), Krefeld
Built in 1955/56, gym and ancillary rooms with arcade 1959/60, extensions in 1973
Architect Hans Volger (1904−1973) for the municipal building department, City of Krefeld
""Not a teaching palace (...), but an assembly of huts (...) not a stack of storeys, but a layer of casings; not a learning industrial building, but a workshop farm" (Hans Schwippert, 1960).
When the former Bauhaus member Hans Volger planned the school for around 900 pupils at Kaiserplatz, like his colleague Schwippert, architecture professor and rector at the Düsseldorf Art Academy, he was inspired by modern Scandinavian school buildings like those by Arne Jacobsen. In doing so, he also followed the ideas of New Building, which were intended to satisfy the need for fresh air, sun, hygiene and outdoor exercise as early as in the 1920s.
After the Second World War, the modern school building succeeded in turning away from the gloomy "barracks style" and thus from military-style educational concepts in favor of a relaxed pavilion architecture with many windows: Volger himself wanted a “home school” with “home classes” where teachers and students would live and learn together. [...]
The entire school was built from precast concrete parts, only the ceilings were poured on site. The supporting structure can be seen on the facade. Window sills, pillars, lintels and girders are made of granular concrete and therefore stand out from the wall infills made of brown brickwork. Lightness is created by the small-format cubes of the class pavilions, by perforated motifs in the balcony parapets and surrounding walls as well as by the use of dark-framed floor-to-ceiling windows (which unfortunately have been replaced by divided white windows) in connection with bands of smaller square windows."

Gesamtschule Kaiserplatz (vormals Mädchenrealschule Marianne-Rhodius), Krefeld
Baujahr 1955/56, Turnhalle und Nebenräume mit Laubengang 1959/60, Erweiterungen 1973
Architekt Hans Volger (1904−1973) für das Städtische Hochbauamt Krefeld
"„Kein Lehrpalast (…), sondern eine Versammlung von Hütten (…) kein Stapel von Geschossen, sondern ein Gelege von Gehäusen; kein Lern-Industriebau, sondern ein Werkstätten-Gehöft“ (Hans Schwippert, 1960). Als der ehemalige Bauhäusler Hans Volger die Schule für ca. 900 Schüler am Kaiserplatz plante, ließ er sich wie sein Kollege Schwippert, Architekturprofessor und Rektor der Düsseldorfer Kunstakademie, von modernen skandinavischen Schulbauten wie jenen von Arne Jacobsen inspirieren. Er folgte damit aber auch den Ideen des Neuen Bauens, die bereits in den 1920er-Jahren die Bedürfnisse nach frischer Luft, Sonne, Hygiene und Bewegung im Grünen befriedigen sollten.
Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg gelang im modernen Schulbau die Abkehr vom düsteren „Kasernenstil“ und damit von militärisch geprägten pädagogischen Konzepten zugunsten einer aufgelockerten Pavillonarchitektur mit vielen Fenstern. Volger selbst wünschte sich eine „Heimschule“ mit „Heimklassen“, in denen Lehrer und Schüler zusammen wohnen und lernen. [...]
Die gesamte Schule wurde aus Fertigbetonteilen errichtet, nur die Decken wurden vor Ort gegossen. Die Tragekonstruktion ist an der Fassade nachvollziehbar. Fensterbänke, Pfeiler, Stürze und Unterzüge sind in körnigem Beton und heben sich daher von den Wandausfachungen aus braunem Ziegelmauerwerk ab. Leichtigkeit entsteht durch die kleinformatigen Kuben der Klassenpavillons, durch Lochmotive in den Balkonbrüstungen und Umfassungsmauern sowie durch die Verwendung dunkel gefasster bodentiefer Fenster (sie wurden leider durch geteilte weiße Fenster ersetzt) in Verbindung mit Bändern aus kleineren quadratischen Fenstern."
