It was really good to explore the maze-like streets of the medina of Chefchaouen within its old city walls. Would have taken even more pics had it not rained the whole afternoon.

Modern electronic public toilets at Glenelg Beach with cool design. No idea how they work because I didn't go in, but they looked different and digital.

Ex warehouses - Wapping.

A workshop in Kent Town, near where I used to work. I think that bent rusty thing is a broken light.

Looking down Rose Street, off West Terrace. Fire-engine red doors against lemon yellow walls brighten up this drab laneway.

Yes, spring is now well and truly in the air, as winter in Melbourne fades into memory... almost... and there have been days of glorious sunshine and blue skies.

 

On one such sunny, blue sky day I went for an afternoon stroll. Whilst on the walk, my eye was caught by this wonderful mauve rose bloom, reaching up to the sun, exposing a wonderful cluster of petals. I am not sure what variety it is, but the rose has a light, sweet fragrance, which I think suits this magnificent mauve beauty!

Shiny new red plastic coated chains strung together with ladder steps in the playground.

A daisy bush pushing its way out of its city garden onto the footpath. The IGA supermarket has its advertising sign fixed onto the garden fence as it is on the same street.

Graceful green-leafed maple branches in a suburban garden.

Shot taken for Saturday Self Challenge 11/07/2026 - Electrical .

Think there should be enough electricity knocking about here judging by all the signs saying " Danger of Death " !! This is an electrical sub station / transformer station I believe , I have seen it from the River Mole walk from the bankside behind some mean fencing - but not good enough for a shot there . So a wander around the other side and here is the entrance and again plenty of serious fencing - too much to get a clear shot but the heavy duty electrical gubbins can be seen here for the challenge .

I am not sure why it is sited here beside the river as it is prone to severe flooding on occasion to the point that the Water Pumping Station nearby has been flooded in the past , however , I do not know how this transformer/sub station fares in the times of flood .

I hope there is enough electricity here for SSC , I was not going to test it out and see !!

A conglomeration of air condition unit compressors mounted outside a building that was built without a central cooling. It's every man for his own room.

One of the many rooted source of the leafy vine provide cool refreshing shade on the exposed metal grill wall of the parking station at the Chowrasta Market in Georgetown, Penang. There are many of these post along each level, placed at intervals along the top of the brick and metal railing at the base of the metal grill.

 

Although there are many pots on all the levels, I don't think they need anyone to water them as by virtue of their position on the edge of the building, they get watered by the regular rain here in the tropics.

The hands that built the Castle, art installations at Caernarfon Castle are a comprehensive and integral part of the Project's design approach.

These installations located across King's Gate, aim to provide visitor's with a deeper

Understanding of the Castle's history and the people involved in its construction.

The Artworks take the form of sculptures, glass floors, window, ceilings, video, and detailed features on downpipes, seamlessly

integrated into a new layer of Architecture.

 

The installations encourage visitors to form their own interpretations of The Castle's history.

On a downpipe of the Sacred Heart Church in Pfersee

Surrounded by thirteen acres of parkland and a medieval moat, Tudor Barn Eltham dates back to the 16th century. With its connections to royalty and as the location of some of history's most celebrated marriages, including The Railway Children's author Edith Nesbit and Hubert Bland, it is a place steeped in history and tradition.

Just shopping in Leatherhead and looking up at some of the old building and not shop facades at ground level I saw this bit of architecture . At ground level this was once the local Lloyds Bank building which of course is empty now as are all of the other banks !! What we see here are the second and third floors , and they just caught my eye . At ground level is just the empty shell of the once bank and outside is what can be a pretty busy bus stop !!

A street sign that has been removed and put inside a building side. It amuses me that it is "standing" or leaning nonchalantly now against the fence.

Hanover, Germany

Designed by Karl Siebrecht in 1911, this building used to house the Bahlsen factory that produced biscuits well into the 1980s.
