Taken off the rickety jetty at Chew Weld, Georgetown, Penang. This wobbly structure and the old fishing village on stilts that surrounds it, sits incongrously alongside the modern structures of downtown Penang.

It's potato delivery day at the old Georgetown General Store in South Australia's mid-north. The old farmer has gone in to rustle up some crates to load them in while another hopeful local is looking to do a deal and get them straight from truck to trunk!
This is one of those wonderful old country town general stores where you could buy almost anything, and still appears to be in business today.

A forced perspective of the old store as a backdrop for two 1/24th scale models - A 1948 FX Holden (48-215) and a 1953 Chevrolet 3100 pickup truck.

Constructed in 1906 by the Seattle Electric Company the steam plant was powered by coal. Within a few years, hydropower eclipsed coal powered electricity and the plant gradually fell into disuse. It was last actively used in 1953 but was fired up occasionally for testing until the early 1970's.
Seattle City Light owns the steam plant but leases it to the Steam Plant Museum. The museum opens the building for tours once a month.
