BRILLIANT! Air Conditioning in the desert...
except the compressor blew out immediately. Oh well, we were cool for two hours.

Looking in remarkably good condition in ex-Silverlink livery, class 321 EMU number 321415 awaits departure for St. Albans Abbey on a dreary cold February day, 2010. This is Platform 11 at Watford Junction station, somewhat remote from the remainder of the station and having a very spartan quality about it.
Nice condition but as per the norm the shutter and timer were stuck and gummed up through old age and lack of use . After a few hours of work all systems are go and I have just seen the results from my first film which look on a par with my MkV Rolleicord.
Love the EV system and the fact I now have a Rollei my Prism will fit
“North Park” is a magnificent 42 room Queen Anne style mansion built on what is the most elevated section in the Borough of Essendon along Woodland Street. Still in remarkably original condition both inside and out, with its gardens well maintained, “North Park” is one of Melbourne’s grandest mansions and is representative of “Marvellous Melbourne”.
Built between 1888 and 1889 for Melbourne brewing magnate Alexander McCracken (1856 – 1915) and his family, the mansion was designed by architects Oakden, Addison and Kemp. The contract was let to builder D. Sinclair for £10,750. The foundations of the house are of bluestone and above that, the walls are faced with picked red Northcote bricks, relieved by dressing and bands. The residence is an excellent example of Federation Queen Anne style, as seen by the asymmetry in its design, terracotta ridge cresting, prominent gables and half-timbering to gables, and the tall chimneys. The entrance is central and reached by a wide flight of Malmsbury steps. The roof treatment is elaborate, with dormer windows, a steep central pavilion, cresting, and a widow’s walk. The roof of “North Park” still has its original imported Marseilles terracotta roof tiles made by the French company, Guichard Carvin de Cie, St Andrew. Apparently these unique tiles feature the firm's signature bee imprint on each one. Alterations and extensions were undertaken in 1906, including the complete redecoration of the interior to the design of Billing, Son and Peck. One magnificent edition to the house as part of the 1906 extension was a ballroom. It has a high domed, metal Arts and Crafts ceiling, Art Nouveau stained glass windows and French doors leading out into the garden to the estate’s ornamental fish pond, which is still as it was in 1900 when it was created. The ballroom was built by Alexander McCracken for the debut into society of his favourite daughter.
The estate grounds retain much of its original form, with a sweeping drive from the front gates on Woodland Street and the front of the house overlooking three curved terraces which are symmetrical about a central axis with the main towered entrance. The planting is a fine example of the Gardenesque style developed by John Claudius Loudon (1783 – 1843) in the early Nineteenth Century to display plants for their individual beauty. The grounds contain many mature trees which were planted when “North Park” was first constructed including; a pair of Himalayan Cedars, cypress trees, palm trees (almost as tall as the house itself) and a huge Moreton Bay Fig. All are surrounded by beds full of perennials which border a number of terraced lawns.
Alexander McCracken died at “North Park” in 1915. The mansion was sold to Harvey Patterson (1848 -1931), an executive of the Broken Hill Proprietary Company, in the early 1920s. He and his wife lived there for a short while after his retirement. “North Park” was then purchased by the Society for Saint Columban in December 1923. It is them we have to thank for the house remaining in such excellent condition. Most of the rooms are still in-tact with original interior decoration and furniture.
When I visited and asked permission to photograph “North Park”, I was amazed by the completeness of the interior. It was almost like stepping back in time. The hallway still has its heavy Arts and Crafts wallpaper, tiled floor and original Victorian hall furniture. It is illuminated by a group of stained glass windows above the stairway is the glory of the house. Their theme is the golden age of ancient Greece. A smaller set of windows shows the golden age of ancient Ireland. I would dearly love to have photographed them, but that was not something the Father would have permitted.

Condition: Excellent condition. No chips or cracks. Please refer to all photos for this great hand crafted studio art glass vase. Used only for private display.
Manufactured: 2005 Stonington Connecticut
Description: This is a beautifully hand crafted Signed 2005 Jeffrey P'an Prescient Studios Art Glass Crystalis Vase Vessel. Jeffrey's work is a clever reinvention of old world techniques into a modern form. The beautiful patchwork of this vase is the result of his handmade tiles being carefully fused to the surface of a vessel that is then dipped in molten glass. This technique results in a smooth exterior surface, yet lends a distinctive texture on the inside. This texture provides a record of how the piece was made and enhances the color play of light through the piece. Because chemical properties of glass can dramatically influence how texture, color, pattern and form interact, careful planning of a piece is essential. This is a very difficult technique to master.
Perfect for any collector or for practical use.
Information:
P'an follows neither the Venetian style or the Swedish style of glass blowing. Having studied in Venice Italy, he admits that the colored mosaics he uses are a hallmark of the Venetian tradition but instead he prefers to develop his own style, creating something more modern and contemporary. P'an's focus is on clarity and design.
Prescient Studio is on 44 Meadow Ave in Stonington Connecticut.
Artist Statement:
“My work is based on the re-invention of old-world techniques in the design of modern objects. It is important to me to maintain the transparency of the glass, the property that makes it so unique. As the light passes through the vessel blending the colors, patterns and textures from all sides, it highlights the space inside, the essence of the vessel form. Included are examples of production, limited edition and one-of-a-kind work.
I specialize in fusing and blowing glass mosaic into vessel forms. I hand make all of the elements of these designs, the canes, murrines, blocks, tiles and bands that are fused to form the core of the vessels, or to the surface of the vessel. This technique imparts distinctive textures to the glass that add to the color effects by catching or diffusing light in ways that are directly related to the patterns underneath. The texture is also a record of how the vase was made, texture on the inside is a result of a mosaic being fused and then dipped in the molten glass, leaving a smooth finish, while external textures result from the mosaic being fused to the surface. The chemical properties of the glass can also influence how texture, color, pattern and form interact. The tiles used to make the 'Resolution' vase for instance are all the same size and shape when I begin, the different colors react differently to the heat and to each other, so careful planning of the mosaic is crucial.”

I had to wait a while to get this picture. My camera had frosted up badly in the transition between the air-conditioning of Scarlet Hotel and outdoor temperatures. I like spiral staircases, and this colour combination is just darling.
Those allergens that kept on pestering your indoor air should be eliminated right away. Now, if you're asking whether having an air conditioning Central Coast unit worsens or helps alleviate those allergies, the answer is YES, it helps.
