The gate post was reminiscent of an ancient monolith, carved and banded with wrought iron. Beaten and weather worn, the edifice marked the boundary of his territory...
Stone gatepost at Thorp Perrow arboretum. Lacking a finger and a few adornments but still has a certain dignity.
After our meanderings on the Moor, we came down into Tavistock, which isn't a town we know particularly well. We've passed through a few times, and have been to a dance at the Town Hall, but apart from that, it's just not on any of our usual routes.
This is the Abbey Chapel. I'd not thought to take my tripod (space being at a premium in the car) and had forgotten to pick up the beanbag; so I ended up balancing this on the rounded top of a gatepost for the one-second exposure. This was quite inadequate as a form of stabilisation, so the whole thing came out a bit blurry. Instead of scrapping the picture, I decided to try to make a virtue out of a necessity, and modified the rest of the picture to suit.
Doncaster Market Place with pig gatepost topping the columns at Sunny Bar. There are 2 animals, joined by a weigh-beam. The columns are clad in tera cotta tiles. The roman town name of DANUM is set in the tiles.
Originally built in 1938-1939 with assistance from the New Deal-era Public Works Administration (PWA), the main building of Wallace Rider Farrington High School was designed in the Art Deco style by notable Hawaiian architect Charles William Dickey (C. W. Dickey). The school was named for Wallace Rider Farrington (1871-1933), an American journalist whom served as the sixth territorial governor of Hawaii from 1921 until 1929, which has become controversial in recent times as awareness of his support of policies favoring the domination of whites in Hawaii has become more prevalent. The school was established in 1936 to help expand the access to public secondary education among students on Oahu, owing to the minimum age of employment being raised and greater automation and efficiency leading to less need for plantation workers. The school’s main structure features geometric decorative Art Deco motifs with both simple geometric forms and stylized foliage, with multiple concrete and metal screens, open air corridors, fluted pilasters, a decorative sculptural flagpole base, a hipped roof, concrete structure and exterior walls, and a C-shaped layout wrapping a rear courtyard being the defining features of the building. The original building was utilized by the United States Army as a hospital during World War II, before being fully returned to civilian usage after the war. Following World War II, buildings were added to the campus, including the modernist Joseph Rider Farrington Community Auditorium, a natatorium with stadium seating, several additional classroom buildings scattered to the rear of the original building, a large gymnasium, a postmodern-style library, and a series of portable classrooms intended to add additional temporary classroom space. The front of the school features a sculpture known as The Seed created by local artist Satoru Abe. The school presently serves a majority Asian American and Pacific Islander population, with many being from the surrounding neighborhoods that have a lower income levels than most other areas of Honolulu. The school is an excellent example of Art Deco architecture and of the impact that programs funded by the New Deal had on the Hawaiian islands.
Notice on the old gatepost how high up the tidemark is.Backs-up what the Flood wardens reported, that at the waterfall - about a quarter mile downstream - after the overnight flooding the water level dropped by 12 inches / 30cm or so in an hour. And that's still waay high.
Also notice the original parent triffid still in place.
I saw several gateposts of this design in Helston with a snake coiled up to the top - this was my least worst attempt at taking a picture of them.
Decoration of the gateposts outside the Natural History Museum - all containing sculptures of animals.
The Natural History Museum forms part of 'Albertopolis' (a complex of buildings including the V&A, Science Museum, Imperial College, Albert Hall and Albert Memorial, to name but a few). The NMH itself grew from a collection belonging to Sir Hans Sloane. The current building came about in the mid-nineteenth century with the purchase of land in South Kensington, and an architectural competition in 1864 (won by Richard Waterhouse); work began in 1873, completed in 1880, and the museum opened in 1881.
I think I'm developing an unnatural interest in moss and who knew there were such beautiful specimens at the end of my drive ?!
One of two skulls to be found ontop of the gateposts at The Mausoleum at Kirkleatham - Very spooky walking past There on a night, if you dare................................
These gateposts were originally at the northern entrance to the Campbell estate at Duntroon, Canberra. They were moved to the gun gates of the military college in 1911. They are now on the Plant Road entrance to the college. Taken in 2018.
Milo was a neighbour's cat, a lovable old rogue who regarded my house as his own and simply wandered in, made himself comfortable and expected to be fed whenever the mood took him. He graced and charmed our neighbourhood for about 12 years, passing away on Friday 24th February 2017.
