I just can't stop myself returning to this scene again and again, it just pulls me in. I had always thought these were Mersey Flat barge ruins but someone pointed out they maybe Nobby's, another type of fishing boat built up the North West coast line.
What's that you're doing, Loki?
"Mapping out my plan to take over the flat."
Oh? Think you can do that?
"Yes. One toy shelf at a time."
Good luck with that, Loki.

"Langi Flats, a pair of apartment buildings designed by renowned architect Walter Burley Griffin, and built in 1925 & 1926, are significant at the state level for architectural and aesthetic reasons.
Walter Burley Griffin, in association with his wife Marion Mahoney, was the most remarkable and individualistic architect in Australia during his stay between 1913 and 1935. The Langi Flats are unusual in his oeuvre for displaying more of the style features of his earlier American projects, after leaving the office of Frank Lloyd Wright. Important features include the low horizontal eaves, the complex geometric decoration on the capitals of the front pylons, the decortive iron panels window spandrels and the matching gates on the north block.
The use of native trees (in this case lemon scented gums) in the front lawn displays Griffin's interest in Australian flora for suburban gardens. It is believed that Edna Walling later designed the north garden at the rear of the flats.
Aesthetically, the flats are attractive as a large, yet sensitively scaled building, with a horizontal, ground hugging emphasis, set behind sweeping lawns studded with a row of large native trees."

If Jabba the Hutt was:
• run over by a steamroller
• made a guest appearance in a Flat Stanley book
• painted by a cubist artist
I think he would look something like this.

Nutmeg knows when we are getting close to home. She figures it’s time to play the flat basset game. A 30 second walk to get home will turn into 15 minutes.
Iconic New York shot - The Flat Iron Building Wanted the detail of an HDR....but didn't want it to feel over processed or over coloured. I really like the fact that the smiling face on top of the building is so clear, and the dome is so yellow...and I love the sky.
The Flat Garden at the Portland Japanese Garden.
From japanesegarden.com :
"The Flat Garden (hira-niwa) is an example of how gardens in Japan have continued to develop the dry landscape style of the karesansui garden over time. In a garden such as this one, the designer worked to balance the relationship between the flat planes (the ground) and the volume of stones and clipped shrubbery and trees to create a sense of depth of space."

Granny Flats…
My granny lived in a block of flats
three storey’s high,
I can picture it right now
and I don’t even need to try.
Frangipanis in my hand
teddy in the other,
Slowly up the many stairs
walking with my mother.
I’m staying with my granny
time that I now miss the most,
Her flat with many windows
overlooking the city to the coast.
I would hug her tight and breathe her in
and smell that granny smell,
There’s nothing that replaces it
a tear rolls, it’s just as well.
Hand in hand through the park
and down to Darby Street,
Past our favorite bench
where we would sit and rest our feet.
Talking to the grocer
memories of a time now past,
When bread was bread and milk was milk
and fruit and veg would last.
Heading back with bags now full
much slower than before,
Spending time together
always meant so much more.
Now days grow old as we do
and noon turns into night,
Till there is no city below us
just a sea of starry light.
Teddy in hand and snuggled down
between blanket and blue sheets,
The soft warmth of comfort
puts me straight to sleep.
My granny lived in a block of flats
Three storey’s high,
She would see me from her window
as wave to me goodbye.
A nice flat bed / pickup Mini from the 1970s seen at the 2015 Messingham Show in North Lincolnshire. The Minis on show in the classic car display were from the local Trent Valley Mini Owners Club.
My images are processed to look good on my laptop, and they do look good on there - and on my phone and tablet - I am aware though that some other screens will show my images as either too dark or indeed too light. This is due to individual screen settings and not my inability to produce a clear image ....
