"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."

Fun to see the historic Bonneville Salt Flats today! We usually see images of the salt flats after the water has evaporated...Ground water slowly flows towards the Salt Flats from the surrounding watershed, picks up dissolved minerals along the way, and percolates up to the surface via a shallow brine aquifer. When temperatures rise in the late spring and summer months, the salt water rapidly evaporates in the heat, and the minerals are left behind to form the salt crust. During the cooler months of the year (November to May), evaporation slows down and the ground water floods the Salt Flats several inches deep. Wind, periodic rainstorms, and regional climate also play an important part in changing salt crust conditions throughout each year.

We are off to Donegal today for you to solve the mysteries of this photo!
"You may talk about Atlantis, how it's lost beneath the sea
And the grave of the unknown soldier, or the cry of the old banshee
Who was the man in the iron mask, was Jack the Ripper set free
But ask them all "Where's Donegal", it's still a mystery"

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'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.

The Flat Iron Building in NYC is one of the iconic buildings to see. We have our own version here in Denver, The Brown Palace Hotel although it is nowhere near as tall. Ours actually precedes the NYC version by 15 or so years having been built in the late 1800s. There is all sorts of history about the hotel these days from scandalous murders and hidden bootlegger and speakeasy tunnels from the prohibition era. These days they do a fancy brunch on weekends and high tea in the lobby in the afternoons.
Most people who follow me know I serve up a bit of a mixed salad of shots coming from my rather catholic choice of interests and subjects. Today is no different with four shots, about the last from our country drive to Toogoolawah in the Brisbane (River) Valley earlier this year.
I rather like Art Deco design and this old urban block of flats, no doubt made from asbestos cement sheets or fibro as is the common terminology in Australia stands in a Toogoolawah back street. Despite its rather austere look, enough Art Deco showed through to capture my attention.
It was probably built for local rural or timber mill workers back in the period and still has welcome across its old walls.

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.
