I discovered this location while driving to the franco-cypriot school in Nicosia, Cyprus. These are governmental buildings next to the police academy. The complex is to be destroyed in the near future. I was interested in catching the effects of time on official government owned buildings.
There's so much going on right now that I haven't had time to set up any real shoots. And, it's been cold and my basement is in a state of disarray so I can't shoot there.... but... I should be getting keys to a joint studio space any day now!

With the timetable by now in disarray, and so too the weather, 43106 has just arrived at Carrog with the 2:25 from Llangollen due in Carrog at 2:57 - it was in fact 3:57!
Bad seasons and hard times were advanced as the major reasons for the delay in erecting a permanent Quorn Institute before 1885. But with the prospect of a good season in 1884, a design was prepared by Thomas Burgoyne, architect, first Dispatch editor and South Australian Member of Parliament, “for a handsome and commodious building” to be erected at a cost of £3,000.
Meanwhile, plans were thrown into disarray when the State Government of the day announced that it would no longer subsidise country institutes. As a consequence, a memorial was drawn up and presented to the government with the result that the threatened action was averted.
However, by this time circumstances in Quorn and its surrounding districts had changed. The season which began so promisingly had taken a turn for the worse with the result that the Institute Committee decided they could no longer justify the large expense in erecting the original design. Yet rather than defer the project altogether the decision was taken to modify the design and erect a building. Tenders were called and that of constructor D. Swan was accepted for £536.
The memorial stone for the Quorn Institute was laid by Mrs W.C. Barton, mayoress, on 14 October 1885.
The work of erecting part of the future Quorn Institute has been commenced … on the back part of the allotment in a straight line, to allow the large hall [Town Hall 1891] and offices to come in front. [South Australian Weekly Chronicle 3-10-1885]
HOLIDAY AT QUORN
Quorn, October 14
The foundation stone of the new Institute was laid by Mrs Barton, Mayoress, about 10 o'clock. The members of the Friendly Societies and a large number of townspeople witnessed the proceedings. Speeches were made by the Mayor (Mr W C Barton), Mr A B Moncrieff, and others. The day is being observed as a close holiday.
[Ref: Evening Journal 14-10-1885]
The Institute was built at the back of the block with a frontage to Seventh Street, the remaining Railway Terrace frontage being left for future building operations.
The Institute is of Quorn stone with cement facings and an iron roof.
The Port Augusta Dispatch noted – The frontage is 23 feet and the depth 60 feet: walls are to be 16 feet high and the distance from floor to ceiling in all rooms will be 15 ft.
The street entrance is through a little porch on the north side of the building with a door into the front room which is to serve as a library and reading room. Behind is the Secretary’s room, backed by a chess and draught room, with larger apartments, intended for “lodge” use, at the rear.
Lighting is provided by two large demilune headed windows in the front and three square topped ones in the northern walls.
However, by 1890 the community was beginning to feel prosperous enough to erect a town hall.
The Council, after a good deal of negotiation, was able to gain the consent of the Minister of Education and have the Institute property transferred to ratepayers so that the original design fronting on to Railway Terrace could be completed. The title was transferred to the Quorn Corporation on 19 November 1890 and tenders were called with the contract being awarded to Messrs Moran Bros of Port Augusta for approximately £900. The architect was F W Dancker of Adelaide.
This building houses Council Archives (formerly Institute Library Reading Room) and [Town Hall] Supper Room (formerly offices of the Corporation of Quorn.)

Services across all lines were suspended just before 8am due to a communications fault at the Old Trafford control. An intermittent service was resumed on all lines around an hour later.
At around 1545 after another problem in the Cornbrook area and services in total disarray the decision was taken to suspend all services.
Car 3081 rolls into East Didsbury displaying "Not in Service". Fortunately it left 10 minutes later on a service to Rochdale.

"In response to the threat of war, the king of Lenfald has declared that we fortify our borders in preparation for the storm. Every day the Loreesi grow nearer to our forests as they continue their aggressive expansion. During my own journey, I noticed several Lenfeld workers erecting great towers near the riverbanks. I have no doubt these will be of great use in the times to come, however, without a strong camp to rally and stage counterattacks from, I fear we will be left in total disarray. For this reason, I am aiding in the construction of a military encampment built near the Aines river. They call it Ainherlaf, meaning River-War. Though I hope it will not come to this, if war should come to Lenfald, this camp will be a bastion against any assailing force."
World's Most Famous Harvard MBA:
George W. Bush
April 1, 2007
Salon.com: The Dunce
Bush's former Harvard Business School professor recalls George W. Bush not just as a terrible student but as spoiled, loutish and a pathological liar.
LA Times: President Wanted, MBA Not Required
GEORGE W. BUSH is the first president with an MBA (from Harvard Business School, no less), but it's not clear that being a master of business administration has made him a better chief executive. The disarray in Iraq, the debacle after Hurricane Katrina � these aren't exactly the kinds of triumphs that the alumni office likes to boast about.
BusinessWeek: Bush in Iraq: A B-School Case Study
It's a conversation heard more and more around the halls of Harvard Business School these days: One of President George W. Bush's unique qualifications for office was his Harvard MBA. Yet the mess in postwar Iraq has revealed a lack of the careful planning that Harvard teaches its elite clientele.
Kind of makes you think twice about what having an MBA from Harvard really means.

On the left Achilles, leaning on his spear and in some disarray is consulting Pythia, the oracle: to reach Troy he must be guided by Telephus.
On the right, Achilles is in the palace of Telephus and tries to polish the tip of the spear with a knife so that he can clean the wound of the rust. Telephus sits on a stool, but doesn't look too bad for a man who has just been stabbed, but then he was the son of Heracles so he couldn't really play the whimp.
The relief was produced by an Athenian workshop and was originally painted.
It turns out we haven't left Rundāle Palace in Latvia, after all.
I came across a trove of photos I took in the palace basement on the way out of the complex.
It's essentially Rundāle Palace's historical society, full of cases of artifacts, photos of the palace when the interior decoration was in a state of great disarray, and many paragraphs of text that explain numerous aspects of the interior.
As I mentioned with the last photo, a significant amount of our time was spent on the boat. Dad didn't join me on all of my excursions and spent more of his time on the boat, often fixing things.
You will notice in this photo that the cushions are in disarray. Dad had to figure out why the sump pump wasn't working. That had to be fixed. The day before I arrived, the handle on the freezer had broken and had to be repaired. The boat was plugged in to power at the marina dock, but for a fee, so power had to be conserved as much as possible. There were also some rolling blackouts early in the week, but no further issues with the power after Wednesday.
Also during my visit, the water pump stopped working. Dad investigated and found that the ground wire connection had to be cleaned. The sump pump had a problem a second time, but dad did figure it out and fixed it again. The potable water needed to be conserved as much as we could, and eventually mom and dad refilled the tanks. Dad was concerned about the sewage tank getting full and scheduled a pump out. The engine oil needed to be changed in preparation for the rest of the sail north. The inflatable dinghy needed to be deflated and stored in preparation as well. Twice a day, mom ran extra power to recharge the refrigerator and freezer and keep both cold. The marina had free wifi, but it wasn't a fast connection, and it expired every three days.
We kept the cabin hatches (windows) open for ventilation and cooling as much as possible, but we had to be mindful of closing them if we left the boat, and we closed them all in a hurry if we felt a passing rain coming on, which happened several times!
There is always something to check or repair or maintain on a sailboat!
CWPT has saved more than 125 acres of the First Deep Bottom battlefield in Henrico County, Virginia.
The First Deep Bottom Campaign at the end of July 1864 was a Union offensive north of the James River to complement the explosion of the Crater at Petersburg. Two corps of the Union army led by Winfield S. Hancock, in company with much of the army's cavalry, crossed the river and attacked the Confederate defenses south of Richmond on July 27, 1864. That inconclusive fighting occurred along the River Road (modern Rte 5).
The next day, July 28, Hancock sent his cavalry eastward via the Long Bridge Road in an effort to extend around the Confederate flank. An aggressive small Confederate battlegroup consisting of infantry from both the First Corps and the Third Corps led by General Richard H. Anderson dashed eastward to block that movement. Anderson's three brigades attacked southward into and across the Enroughty Farm (the modern Butler property), striking dismounted cavalry from both Torbert's and Gregg's divisions. For a short period there was very heavy action. The Confederates captured one piece of Union horse artillery, probably either on the Butler property, or possibly just off it to the east. Eventually the Union cavalry became organized enough to counterattack effectively, driving the Confederates off the field in some disarray. They captured several Confederate flags in the encounter.
This action represented the heaviest fighting during the First Deep Bottom Campaign. Hancock suspended his offensive and retired south of the James. Total casualties in the July 28 fight at the Enroughty Farm surpassed 800 (350 Federals and approximately 500 Confederates).

spray painted tombs
Tombs are now laying on their sides, are open,
broken, or grave stones have been left in disarray.
Many tombs have been uprooted from their
given locations. This cemetery in particular was
in upheaval due to the mississippi river across the
street, the storm surge, flood waters from the broken
levee....etc. There were many reports of tombs, coffins,
and the dead all floating in the flood water.

2797 Latta’s Railroad Story sign – Dillon County Museum, 101 South Marion St., Latta, Dillon, SC. May 6, 2009. Decimal degrees: 34.338440, -79.434243
"Latta's Railroad Story"
"Following the War Between the States and during the Reconstruction Era southern railroads were in complete disarray. By the 1880s, through mergers and new investments, the 'Golden Era of Railroads' emerged in the country and literally rolled into the Pee Dee. A section of new rails that would become the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad entered this area in 1888. At this strategic point along the railroad a depot was constructed. The nucleus of a community was planted and it grew as new inhabitants arrived, started their business and built their homes creating the town of Latta.
The town received its name from Robert J. Latta, a York SC native, who was the railroad surveyor that laid out plans for the station. The first passenger and freight depots were constructed in 1888. That year a post office was authorized and in 1890 the town was incorporated.
What became known as the 'Latta Branch' connected Latta with McColl in 1895 and passed through the towns of Mallory, Bingham, Blenheim, Dunbar and Clio. The increase in commercial activity led the following year to the construction of a new tobacco warehouse. By 1903 there were three tobacco warehouses and until the markets later shifted to Dillon and Mullins, Latta was the center of tobacco marketing and the largest in the state."

We're getting a refit in work. The entire Pharmacy is in disarray. To make room someone lifted up my bag and flung it on the dispensary floor.
My heart sank, a cold sweat escaped from every pore in my body.
I said " my camera is in there "
I immediately ran for my bag took out the camera and took a few shots seeing how the focus was.
"its fine"
Sighs of relief all around.
This was one of my test shots.
The new Hauptbahnhof is gearing up for the grand opening later that day. The immediate surroundings are still in a state of disarray. People are parking everywhere on the construction site. Although there are hundreds of officials, security people and policemen, the construction site where I was taking this picture was not supervised whatsover. I was only stopped and questioned as soon as I entered the DB Anlage.
The photo is heavily photoshopped: levels, exposure, selective curves / brightness / contrast / saturation. It was a poor shot but I made something good out of it.

The Wobbly One Big Union graphic, depicting several workers with raised fists, their fists all merging into a single giant fist. The giant fist has sent a man flying: he wears a loud checked suit and carries a carpet-bag, and his head is a skull with a human face that has been pushed back like a hat. The face has Trump's hair. In the top corners of the image are the Democratic donkey and Republican elephant.
