I like the simplicity of these cranes, located in Tredigr docks in Cardiff Bay. Not sure what they were being used to build as access was blocked, but there does seem to be alot of development work going on there.

Bribie Island development
July 1964
ID: 436411 photographic album
Negative number: C2-5035
"Bribie Island is the smallest and most northerly of three major sand islands forming the coastline sheltering the northern part of Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia. The others are Moreton Island and North Stradbroke Island. Bribie Island is 34 kilometres (21 miles) long, and 8 kilometres (5.0 miles) at its widest. Archibald Meston believed that the name of the island came from a corruption of a mainland word for it, Boorabee. meaning 'koala bear'.
Bribie Island hugs the coastline and tapers to a long spit at its most northern point near Caloundra, and is separated from the mainland by Pumicestone Passage. The ocean side of the island is somewhat sheltered from prevailing winds by Moreton Island and associated sand banks and has only a small surf break. The lee side is calm, with white sandy beaches in the south.
Most of the island is uninhabited national park (55.8 square kilometres or 21.5 square miles) and forestry plantations. The southern end of the island has been intensively urbanised as part of the Moreton Bay Region, the main suburbs being Bongaree, Woorim, Bellara and Banksia Beach. A bridge from Sandstone Point on the mainland was completed in 1963.
Buckley's Hole, at the southern tip of the island, is an important bird habitat and refuge.
There are many types of wildlife present on the island. Kangaroos, wallabies, emus, various snake species, green tree frogs and dingos can often be seen venturing from the national park into the surrounding suburbs.
Pumicestone Passage, located between the island and the mainland, is a protected marine park that provides habitat for dugongs, turtles and dolphins. There are also extensive mangrove forests in this area. Eucalypt forests, banksias and heathlands are the predominant vegetation elsewhere.
Bribie Island is home to around 350 species of bird. This includes a range of honeyeater species, lorikeets, waterbirds and birds of prey. Flying foxes (also called fruit bats) visit the area, along with several species of small insect-eating bats. Flying foxes are important pollinators and seed dispersers while the insect-eating bats help control mosquito and other insect populations.
Buckley's Hole, at the southern tip of the island, was declared an environmental park in 1992.
The island seems particularly prone to instances of bee swarming.”

Development art for the Thai film "Khan Kluay". The art team and I worked together for a year just getting the look of the film down. Basing images on the script that co-director Aaron Sorensen, and writer Ariel Prendergast , and I were putting together.
There were some amazing artists at Kantana, including my pal, production designer, Prachanue "The Nue" Noree, who helped lead the art team.
Khan Kluay is different from a lot of my other work in that it was designed for the "Wide Screen" cinema, trying to get the feeling of a "Thai Epic". But still following the same simple "Shape Principles" of design. Designing for wide screen is fun, but challenging. At the time we were trying to make the compositions work for both the movie theaters, and the cut-off on people tv's at home.

In the background, you can see the original Northwestern Bell tower. It is now crammed with telephone and internet transmission equipment. The tan tower to the right is the Northwestern Bell office building. It has been empty forever as Nortwestern Bell moved to a newer office building downtown. It became Qwest Communications after the Bell Telephone court ordered breakup. Qwest died of bad management and I think some of them went to jail too. Now it is CenturyLink Communications.
Anyway...just as The Highline a few blocks up the street was set to open, NuStyle announced they had purchased this building, which is also on the National Register of Historic Places. Gotta save those examples of mid century bad architecture, with no thought for human usage or enjoyment!
Set to become 290 apartments.
I had an opportunity to explore the construction site for the future city centre and captured a few interesting perspectives.

Manufacturer Provided Description
The Trintella 42 combines luxurious cruising comfort with exciting performance, and can be handled easily by a crew of two on long ocean voyages. In keeping with the Trintella marque, the 42 offers an irresistible attraction to those who appreciate true character and understated elegance. The hallmark of each Trintella Yacht is undoubtedly the quality of craftsmanship that is evident in every detail of design and construction. World-renowned for advanced design and build quality, Trintella has created more than 1,000 fine oceangoing yachts in over 44 years. Steeped in Dutch craftsmanship, Trintella Yachts builds on its heritage to incorporate the very latest construction techniques and technological advances. The 42 is borne from a unique blend of Ron Holland's vast experience in designing the world's most prestigious yachts and Rene van der Velden's flair for interior design. The Trintella 42 is a yacht that meets the highest specifications to satisfy the aspirations and expectations of the most demanding customer. The Trintella 42 truly is a joy to sail, completely capable of handling any seas in superior comfort and safety. A distinguishing feature of all Trintellas is their uncluttered teak decks and the hugely comfortable covered guest cockpit featuring Trintella's hallmark "Doghouse" which is both practical and secure. There is a separate helmsman's cockpit aft, which has been ergonomically designed to be safe and comfortable; it provides clear views while keeping all controls within easy reach. While her comforts and luxurious appearance are her most obvious attributes, her performance is underpinned by the application of the most sophisticated technology. A modern, powerful rig and sail plan is designed with the specific objective of providing ease of handling without compromising performance. A custom mast incorporating triple spreaders angled at 22 degrees means there is no need for running backstays. This mainsail arrangement is further complemented by a self-tacking jib; therefore, the boat can be tacked by the helmsman in a delightfully unfussed manner. Computer aided design dramatically improves hull and keel design providing superior stability and speed, while the use of aramid composites makes for enhanced safety characteristics. A sandwich construction, using the technologically advanced SCRIMP process, ensures great strength and lightweight qualities; as well, osmosis protection is enhanced by the SCRIMP construction process and use of vinylester resin in the laminate. Advanced engineering techniques, complemented by efficient sail management systems, ensure the Trintella 42 is a thoroughly modern yacht that combines the best traditional values of craftsmanship with the sophisticated demands of the modern age. The luxuriously comfortable interior of the Trintella 42 is both spacious and highly functional with generous headroom of 1.90 meters or more throughout. Practical features abound and incorporate ergonomic considerations including the heavily insulated walk-in engine room that will also discretely house options such as a generator, water maker, and hydraulics systems. Thoughtful but less obvious details include cedar lined hanging lockers in each cabin to keep your clothing fresh and moth-free. Above all, Rene van der Velden's particular talent combines careful planning of the interior spaces with the delicate art of selecting woods and fabrics to create an atmosphere that makes extended cruising a constant delight. Finely styled, and elegant without being ostentatious, you can choose a wide selection of upholstery fabrics and materials to create a yacht that is as comfortable as your home and expresses your own individuality to the same degree. Available in two layouts, the Trintella 42 can provide accommodation for up to six people, with a saloon that has comfortable seating for six complemented by a spacious galley designed to be safe and secure in heavy seas. You can choose to have two large cabins fore and aft (each with en- suite head and separate shower compartment) with a comprehensively equipped navigation station carefully positioned on the starboard of the saloon, or you can choose to have the chart table moved to the doghouse, allowing two bunks to be provided there instead. Specification Each Trintella is built to the highest quality in terms of design specification, craftsmanship, and technological development, thereby ensuring quality standards you can trust. For further reassurance, each yacht is 100 percent guaranteed for one year from delivery, with all fixtures, fittings, and equipment installed in the yacht also carrying the manufacturers' warranties and guarantees. There are many variations and options that you can choose to incorporate in the design and construction of your yacht. However you design and fit your boat, it will naturally be dockside tested before delivery, and then will undergo a full technical sail trial after delivery.

The Taveta weaver (Ploceus castaneiceps) is a striking bird species native to East Africa, particularly found in areas of southern Kenya and northern Tanzania. It is known for its vibrant chestnut-colored head and yellow body, with males displaying more vivid plumage during the breeding season to attract mates. This social species is often seen in large flocks, building intricate, hanging nests in trees, and primarily feeds on seeds and insects, typically in grasslands and savanna habitats.
His was a time of toils, which laid the foundation for us to rise from. As he reminisced while overlooking at the rapid developments, we should be ever grateful to our elders who helped built this city. For we reaped the fruits of their labour and likewise pass it on to our future generations.
