Shot last March, this is a view of Portuguese Flat and the Mendocino Headlands. This is one of my favorite spots to view the evening twilight. Portuguese Flat is so named because in the 19th and early 20th century this "flat" area just below the low rise hill on the Mendocino Peninsula was settled by some of the early Portuguese families who worked in the saw mill. The town boundary goes down to the flat area with the remaining area now a state preserve and wildlife habitat. Walking along the trails behind these houses offers magnificent views of the rugged Mendocino headlands.
Glass blocks - perhaps the most frequently utilized material to spoil the slightest trace of architectural culture. I suppose there is a separate hell for the inventor of these bricks...

With this scene almost mistaken for a Goulburn Day train from the 60s, recently reactivated 42103 charges away from Bargo and across the Bargo River Viaduct on 2494 transfer from Goulburn to Rothbury.
The consist contained 3 BAM's and a BSR which were bought by private owners from the auction at Canberra, along with the 421 being purchased from Goulburn by one of the carriage owners.
42103 is one of the unique members of its class yet with the engine being EMD 645 from a 422.
Work will be carried out on both the cars and the engine hopefully return next year in its new colours.
I have been painting and weathering this flat car to make it look like it has a real wood top. It is plastic and started all oxide red.
I'm not sure how many photos I used to create these time slice images, but I'm sure it was over 300. I thought the effect on the water was interesting.

"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."

the Hermitage of Braid and Blackford Hill Local Nature Reserve was once again awarded its Green Flag. The new Flag was raised by the Friends on 13 August.
In this quiet area of rare beauty, no need for barbed wire. Those parcels of land are all surrounded by low walls whose top is bristled with flat stones.

Farrell Flat (formerly Hanson) is a town in South Australia. The town is located 20 kilometres (12 mi) east of Clare and 22 kilometres (14 mi) southwest of Burra on the former Peterborough railway line, in the Regional Council of Goyder.
Once the heart of a thriving farming community, Farrell Flat today is largely a satellite town to the larger towns nearby. It has retained its own identity, with a functioning hotel, cafe and meeting house, engineering business and grain silos.
The town was surveyed as Hanson in 1870 and did not officially become Farrell Flat until 19 September 1940. The name Farrell's Flat had been in use for some time, this being the name of the railway station. The nearby town of Davies was officially renamed to Hanson on 19 September 1940.

Four and a half months after containment of the Woollsey Fire
This area was inacessible until just recently as the road coming up here had to be repaired. I believe the area was almost completely burned though there were several oak trees that appeared to still be standing and perhaps will recover given enough time. This hillside has not yet seen much recovery. Our abundant rain has caused many of the denuded hills to slide, making it difficult for new vegetation to take hold.
Aneurus avenius Aradidae, male + larvae

You typically find these peculiar, almost two-dimensional, bugs under bark. I'm somewhat puzzled by they "bullseye" pattern on the back of the larvae – any theories?
