Coleraine. Major Thomas Mitchell passed through here exploring in 1836 and it was because of his favourable reports the Edward Henty took up a squatting run just west of Coleraine in 1837. This was later converted to leasehold which Henty called Merino Downs. The main early homestead named Muntham was on a different run. Henty’s brother-in-law James Bryan squatted here too but his land was soon taken by an official lease by the Whyte brothers in 1846 for their run called Koroite. In time some of their lease was subdivided into smaller properties and in 1870 the rest of the run was resumed for closer settlement. Around 1850 a small settlement emerged called Bryans Creek Crossing, after James Bryan. This was later changed to Coleraine in 1853 when a government town was surveyed. The town grew slowly as the runs around it were so big until the 1880s and beyond. When selection acts were introduced in Victoria the wealthy pastoralists bought up their runs freehold. The Anglican Church opened in 1865, the Catholic Church 1888 and the Presbyterian 1892. Many of the large estates were not broken up until the 1910 closer settlement act and in 1923 when blocks were offered to soldier settlers.
This picture was made on our recent girls' trip to the Smokies. After visiting the parrots and eating lunch in Townsend we drove up the mountain. We were happy to be surprised by snowfall and significant accumulation as we ascended the mountain. Down below, on Little River Road, there was no evidence of the snowfall that we had just played in!

New Town Eco Park (officially Prakriti Tirtha) is an urban park in Rajarhat, Kolkata. The park is situated on a 480 acres (190 ha) plot and will surround a 104 acres (42 ha) waterbody with an island in the middle. The park was conceptualised by Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee in July 2011. West Bengal Housing Infrastructure Development Corporation (HIDCO) is the overarching body coordinating the construction of the park, along with different other government bodies responsible for implementation of different works inside the park. The park has been divided into three broad parts; 1) ecological zones like wetlands, grasslands, and urban forest, 2)theme gardens and open spaces, 3)and urban recreational spaces. The Eco Park will be further divided into different sub-parts according to the different types of fauna planted. According to the plan, the park will have different areas like wild flower meadows, a bamboo garden, grasslands, tropical tree garden, bonsai garden, tea garden, Cactus Walk, a heliconia garden, a butterfly garden, a play area and an amphitheatre. Further, there is plan to develop an eco-resort in public-private partnership, and will also include an area where handicrafts from different part of the state will be exhibited. The park was inaugurated on 29 December 2012 by Mamata Banerjee.

This is a picture of the phone box just off Ferry Road, Studland. A little quirky and fantastically British! Catch the ferry and you will be brushing shoulders with the rich and famous in Sandbanks, one of the worlds most expensive areas of real estate. Head West and you will pass such sites as Corfe Castle, Kimmeridge Bay and the world famous Durdle Door.

I set off early to explore somewhere i have had my eye on for a while. that turned out to be easier than i thought
Went for a sunset shoot with Lucy down at Polkerris beach. Borrowed her lens (yes - everyone in the world now has a Sigma 10-20mm lens except me) and took this.

On Granville Island near the market place he was crawling all over the place. (I had a permission to photograph them [ I know it is unusual )
"Jesus is coming" said the old man. "You must go and tell everybody. Immediately."
He was quite insistent.
"Immediately!"
