The sculpture was designed and engineered by Victor Cusack and is constructed of bronze, stainless steel and glass. It is approximately 8 metres tall and weighs 20 tonnes. Titled ‘Man, time and the environment’, the sculpture pays tribute to the beauty of the environment in Hornsby Shire and reminds us of our need to show responsibility to the land around us and how time is of the essence. It was designed to evoke curiosity and fascination.
Victor was born in Manly, and in pursuit of his passions has travelled far and wide, now living on the NSW North Coast. He is distinguished as an artist, sculptor and poet. His 16 public bronze sculptures in Australia include the Pacific Family (The Dolphins) in Warringah Mall and the First Fleet Bicentennial Sculpture in Bicentennial Park West Pymble. The Australian government gave two of his bronze sculptures as sister city gifts to Portsmouth and Edinburgh, U.K.
The Hornsby Water Sculpture is his largest and most complex sculpture. He conceived, designed, engineered and cast the sculpture at his fine art bronze foundry in Brookvale.
Victor at the age of 84 continues to paint in his studio 5 hours a day and is closely involved in the Water Sculpture’s revitalisation.
The Hornsby Water Sculpture is now almost 30 years old and the revitalisation project involved refurbishing the moving elements that have worn over that time as well as some minor modifications.
These include adding an electric support system to the dial clock and reducing the wear and tear on the water wheel by limiting the movement of the buckets.
The pontoon on which the water sculpture is mounted, will be stabilised in one position. The hydraulic functions will be upgraded to meet current safety requirements and the pond will be resealed.
The entire sculpture will be cleaned, with its natural patina left as always intended. Key elements will be polished to highlight them, much how it was when it was originally commissioned, and a new lighting system will be installed. z2_277
I'm going blank on what the song was. I have a tendency to switch back-n-forth from radio to cd alot. The cd cases go flying all over the place when I'm driving.
Went and saw the movie "Martian Child"... also a heart tugger. John Cusack has that ability to make one's heart drop a few inches just by being on the screen.

St Patrick’s Church of Ireland Cathedral, Armagh (Irish: Ardeaglais Phádraig, Ard Mhacha) is the seat of the Anglican Archbishop of Armagh and Diocese of Armagh. Although the origins of the site are as a 5th century Irish stone monastery, said to have been founded by St. Patrick, and there has been a significant church on the site since, its present appearance largely dates from Lewis Nockalls Cottingham’s restoration in the years after 1834, although the fabric of Primate O’Scanlan’s 1268 building remains. Over the centuries, the church on the site has been at least partially destroyed and rebuilt 17 times.
Throughout the Middle Ages, the cathedral was the seat of the Catholic Archbishop of Armagh, head of the Catholic Church in Ireland, and one of the most important churches in Gaelic Ireland. With the 16th-century Protestant Reformation, the cathedral was taken over by the Church of Ireland.
Following Catholic emancipation in the 19th century, a new Catholic cathedral was built in Armagh, also called St Patrick’s Cathedral, on another hilltop half a kilometre away.
Evidence suggests that the hilltop was originally a pagan sanctuary. By the 7th century, it had become the most important monastery and monastic school in the north of Ireland, and monastic settlement grew up around it. Brian Boru, High King of Ireland, visited Armagh in 1004, acknowledging it as the head cathedral of Ireland and bestowing it a large sum of gold. Brian was buried at Armagh cathedral after his death at the Battle of Clontarf in 1014. Armagh’s claim to the primacy of Ireland was formally acknowledged at the Synod of Ráth Breasail in 1111.
The cathedral was renovated and restored under Dean Eoghan McCawell (1505–1549), having suffered from a devastating fire in 1511 and being in poor shape. Soon after his death the cathedral was described by Lord Chancellor Cusack as “one of the fairest and best churches in Ireland”. However, by the end of the Nine Years’ War which devastated Ulster between 1593 and 1603, Armagh lay in ruins.
Following the Nine Years’ War, Armagh came under English control and the town began to be settled by Protestants from Britain, as part of the Plantation of Ulster. During the Irish Rebellion of 1641, many Protestant settlers fled to Armagh cathedral for safety. After negotiations with the besieged settlers, Catholic rebels occupied the town until May 1642.
As mentioned above, the cathedral largely owes its current appearance to a rebuilding between 1834 and 1840 by Archbishop Lord John George Beresford and the architect Lewis Nockalls Cottingham. The fabric remains that of the mediaeval building but much restored. While Cottingham was heavy-handed in his restoration, the researches of T. G. F. Patterson and Janet Myles in the late twentieth century have shown the restoration to have been notably antiquarian for its time. The tracery of the nave windows in particular are careful restorations as is the copy of the font. The capital decoration of the two westernmost pillars of the nave (either side of the West Door internal porch) are mediaeval as are the bulk of the external gargoyle carvings (some resited) of the parapet of the Eastern Arm. Cottingham’s intention of retaining the richly cusped West Door with flanking canopied niches was over-ruled. Subsequent restorations have more radically altered the internal proportions of the mediaeval building, proportions which Cottingham had retained.
Many other Celtic and mediaeval carvings are to be seen within the cathedral which is also rich in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century sculpture. There are works by Francis Leggatt Chantrey, Louis-François Roubiliac, John Michael Rysbrack, Carlo Marochetti and others.

"If you asked me for my New Year Resolution, it would be to find out who I am." - Cyril Cusack
-----
Another year is coming to an end. Overall, I would have to say that 2014 was a pretty good year for me, of course, like any year it had it's ups and downs. But looking back I think there's been more ups than downs and that's nothing to scoff at.
As always at the end of the year, I'd like to thank everyone who has followed, encouraged and befriended me throughout my journey into photography. You guys are always a beckon of support that keeps me going on those frustrating and discouraging days, so thank you. Thank you!
My contacts and friends on here always provide such inspiration with what they see and shoot on a daily basis.
Wishing everyone a wonderful end to 2014; and a perfect beginning to 2015.

This is a busted down pier at Grosse Point Beach in Evanston, Illinois. I met up with some great photographers as some of you may already know, and we shot this rickety old shit in the water. We had gotten about 2 minutes of decent lighting to work with so it was actually quite comical to see all us scramble to get something before it dissipated.

Coca Cola said this sign was painted by Thomas Cusack in 1903. A building occupied the neighboring lot from the mid 1920s on, hiding the sign from view (unless you knew where to look). When the building was demolished a few years ago, the sign was seen again.

Kron's ship is finally ready. His organic components are then dosed with drugs that will allow him to resist Skaro's high radiation levels for a few hours.
He departs to gather firsthand intelligence on the inhabitants of Skaro.....
Making his way to a ridge, Kron can see the mysterious city below.
Little does he know it is the home of a race know as the Daleks, who, like the Cybermen, were once much like we humans.
Back then they were known as Kaleds. They once shared the planet with another race called the Thals.
Centuries of nuclear and biological warfare between the two races resulted in the Kaled genepool suffering from horrendous mutations.
When their most brilliant scientist realized that this would someday lead them to evolve into small helpless creatures, he designed armored shells for them to wear so they could maintain their power, and the Daleks were born.
Centuries ago, the last few remaining Thals thought they had destroyed the Daleks by sealing them inside the underground labratory complex where the Daleks had been created, but the Daleks eventually tunneled their way into the network of tunnels below the nearby city of thier ancestors. They took possession of the old city, which had been rendered virtually lifeless long before by a Thal neutron bomb. A few mutated survivors were found in the city and were either killed or converted into Daleks themselves.
About 100 Skarosian years ago, the Daleks developed spaceflight and built a mighty fleet of warships with which to conquer the universe. The Dalek Emperor and most of the Daleks left with that fleet, leaving only a skeleton crew of Daleks behind to maintain the city, who are all dependant on the static electricity conducted by its metal floors to power their shells.
"If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid."
(Epictetus, Greek philospher)
It's a quote I heard in Serendipity, a movie with John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale.
I hope people think I am foolish and stupid...
The building with the Coca-Cola advertisement was home to Freeman Motor Company, agent for Chandler and Cleveland cars. The Chandler Motor Company manufactured automobiles the during the early 1900s to 1929. The Cleveland Company manufactured car between 1904 to 1909. The sign was painted by the Thomas Cusack Company.
