I don't know about you, but I always find archaeologists an insufferably smug, jumped-up tribe. All the real archaeology has been known about for years and thoroughly investigated. You'd think then, that archaeology would be a declining discipline. You'd be wrong; it prospers as never before. The great problem of the archaeologist's life is the one that afflicts estate agents or local authority community relations co-ordination officers or anyone else whose occupation is essentially parasitic ...to convince the rest of us that their work is important and necessary. Thus a bogus importance is attributed to the most insignificant archaeological "finds". Ideally, from the modern archaeologist's point of view, just about any object uncovered in the ground should be regarded as potential archaeology. There'd be no end to the government grants and local authority funding...
19th-century archaeologists, with their destructively "unscientific" methods, and the modern construction industry are the twin bogeymen of the archaeologist's world-view. Nothing gratifies the digsman's self-importance and vindictiveness more than to be able to expensively delay a major building project. Here work on a new office building on the Redcliffe side of Bristol Bridge is held up while archaeologists work their way over it with their sieves, yardsticks and lengths of string. No doubt some "important" Victorian cellars had been uncovered. The photograph was taken on Thursday 12th November 1981.
Der Wuppertaler Hauptbahnhof ist eigentlich ein klassizistischer Prachtbau. Es stammt aus dem Jahr 1848 und ist eines der ältesten erhaltenen Bahnhofsgebäude. Leider wurde der Bau über die Jahrzehnte durch diverse An- und Umbauten immer mehr entstellt. Jetzt läuft ein Projekt, an dessen Ende die mehr oder weniger vollständige Wiederherstellung des ursprünglichen Zustands stehen wird. Meine Fotoserie zeigt den Abbruch der 60er-Jahre-Vorbauten.
Wuppertal's main station is a classicist marvel from 1848. It is one of the oldest surviving structures of its kind. Unfortunately it has been marred by ugly additions and alterations. Right now a reconstruction project has been started. When it is finished, the historic structure will have regained its original form (more or less, that is). My photo series documents the destruction of the awning from the 1960s.
This is what parts of Parnell street looks like today [13 October 2017]
I live in Henrietta Place and the whole area has been a large building site for many years and at times the impact has been extreme mainly because of the Luas Cross-City Tram Project but there have been a number of other projects and programmes including the new museum in Henrietta Street [the building site was directly outside my bedroom] and the Grangegorman College Campus project. I have just discovered that a new hotel is planned for Bolton street and there may be a new apartment block at Henrietta Place.

One single room can contain up to 14 bed spaces which easily become 20 when counting the "floor spaces".
I could be wrong but this is/was locally known as the Long Stone. If you search for the “Long Stone” in Google it is most likely that you will find information relating to a local pub rather than this sculpture
The Steine structure was erected in 1986 and was sculpted by Cliodhna Cussen. It was removed for a few years because of construction works associated with the new Luas cross-city tram service. The original installation included a granite inscribed plaque and a bronze plaque on a circular shaft set into granite setts arranged in eight circular bands around the principal granite shaft. The last time I photographed this the bronze plate was missing but the granite setts are still missing.
The stone is erected on a site near which stood a famous Long Stone or Steine / Steyne standing 12-14 feet high and erected by the Viking inhabitants of Dublin in the 10th or 11th centuries.
The River Liffey was much broader then and the stone actually stood close to the shoreline and perhaps marked a landing place.
The 3.35m high granite shaft is carved with two faces, one of which represents Ivor the first Viking King of Dublin who ruled in the 9th century. The other face is that of a nun and commemorates the convent of St. Mary Hogges, which stood nearby in the middle ages.

As you can see from my photographs work has resumed on the multi-million Greystones harbour and marina development project, with the first of more than 350 new homes expected to be offered for sale by April 2016. Because of the weather I did not photograph the new houses. The project has already seen the old Victorian era harbour replaced by a new structure with south and north piers, a large marina and ongoing work on five new clubhouses for sea scouts, divers, sailors, rowers and anglers. Also included in the project is a coastguard station, a new town square, a 16-acre public park, a new beach and marine-related shops and leisure facilities. It should be interesting to see if the ‘Public Areas’ are truly public and if the remain so for more than a year or two … I say this because there are many signs indicating that Fishing, Swimming or Jumping was not allowed. I will visit again later in the year, assuming that the weather improves.

The bridge in the foregournd has just been rebuilt. It will soon be reopened. The monorail station (which you have to imagine just left of the bridge) is still in the process of reconstruction. When it's finished it will resemble the original structure.
If you are interested in cameras and lenses: I took this series with an old manual focus Vivitar lens from the mid-70s (a 35mm 1:1.9 Auto Wide-Angle) on a Nikon D3000.

A view of the construction work taking place on the site behind the heritage-protected façade of Myer Lonsdale Street (www.myer.com.au/about-us_myer-melbourne-redevelopment_rei...).
What fascinates me about the back of this façade is the different colours remaining on the walls of different floors - remnants from other times and interior design tastes.
While I'm sad about the loss of yet another original building, I never really liked the Myer Lonsdale Street store's layout (remember those escalators criss-crossing the levels? And getting lost trying to navigate between the two buildings?). I'm hoping that the new space will be light, bright and respectful to the heritage of the area.
