Found a fun piece of pareidolia this evening - much more pleasant than the last one I discovered! This amazed looking chap is the rear of a light fitting, recently replaced in one of my snakes vivariums
Ceiling, Plaza Ballroom, Regent Theatre - taken at Melbourne Open House. Ornate bronze chandeliers hang from the Aztec ceiling, which is colourfully embellished with heraldic emblems in hand-painted tempera.
I felt inspired the other day to photograph some of my favourite objects, some new acquisitions and birthday presents, some are old faithfuls...
Its Autumn here and the colours are lovely brick-reds and steely grey-blues...
Again, a piece of broken china plate with mulberry red stripes, part of a ceramic ceiling light pulley, and a set of stamped silver spoons from Etsy seller 'JLynnCreations' which I asked to have custom-stamped with 'silence, patience, tendresse, douceur'...to remind me to be calm and relaxed sometimes!! And my lovely old find of a '30 kilometre speed limit' road sign propped underneath until I decide which old brick wall it will hang on.
The foyer of the Rex Theatre, Charlton, VIC, Australia.
Opened to the public on Saturday 15th October 1938 (Charlton Show Day). The opening program was "A Star Is Born" starring Janet Gaynor and Frederick March and "Paradise For Two" starring Jack Hulbert and Patricia Ellis.

We were now heading along Via delle Terme in Siena through Goose (Oca) territory. Their flags were on buildings on both sides of the road. The guided walking tour of Siena, heading towards the Piazza del Campo.
Near Via dei Pittori.
Flag and goose sculpture - The Noble Goose District (Oca)
Oca is situated just to the west of the Piazza del Campo. Traditionally, its residents made dyes.
Oca's symbol is a crowned goose wearing around its neck a blue ribbon marked with the cross of Savoy. Its colours are green and white, with red trim.
Oca is one of only four nobile (noble) contrade; it earned its title for its people's bravery during many battles fought by the former Sienese Republic.
The most recent palio win for Oca was in the July 2, 2013 race, with jockey Giovanni Atzeni riding Guess.

Wer das Kleinod will erlangen
1.) Wer das Kleinod (a) will erlangen,
Der muss laufen, was er kann.
Wer die Krone will empfangen,
Der muss kämpfen wie ein Mann,
Dazu muss er sich in Zeiten
Auf das Beste vorbereiten,
Alles andern müßig gehn,
Was ihm kann im Wege stehn.
2.) Herzens-Jesu, deine Güte
Steckt mir auch ein Kleinod für,
Das entzündt mir mein Gemüte
Durch den Ausbund seiner Zier.
O, wie glänzt die schöne Krone
Von dem hohen Ehrenthrone,
Die du in der Herrlichkeit
Deinen Streitern hast bereit'!
3.) Mich verlangt von ganzem Herzen,
Auch nicht weit davon zu sein.
Ja, ich ziele recht mit Schmerzen
Auf den freudenvollen Schein.
Doch das Laufen tut mir bange,
Und der Kampf wird mir zu lange,
Der geschmückte Erdenwust
Nimmt mir öfters alle Lust.
4.) Mein verderbter Eigenwille
Hat bald dies, bald das zu tun,
Hält im Laufen vielmals stille
Und will in dem Streite ruhn.
Satan macht mich auch fast mürbe,
Dass mir auch der Sieg verdürbe,
Wenn mir deine treue Kraft
Nicht gewünschte Hilfe schafft.
5.) Drum, mein Jesu, steh mir Armen
In so großer Schwachheit bei,
Lass dich meiner Not erbarmen,
Mache mich von allem frei,
Was mir will mein Ziel verrücken,
Komm, mich selbst recht zuzuschicken, (b)
Gib mir Herzensfreudigkeit,
Fördre meinen Kampf und Streit.
6.) Es verlohnt sich wohl der Mühe,
Ob mirs gleich auch sauer wird,
Wenn ich mich der Welt entziehe,
Die mich stets zurückeführt. (c)
Deine treue Gnadenkrone
Ist mir überg'nug zum Lohne.
Wirst du nun mein Beistand sein,
So ist sie in kurzem mein.
(a) unter Kleinod ist eigentlich ein Schmuckstück zu verstehen, im übertragenen Sinn ist es die Glaubensfrucht, der Ertrag eines lebenslangen Bemühens einer christlichen Biographie
(b) mich geschickt zu machen
(c) zurückwirft

Johann Mentzer (* 27. Juli 1658 in Jahmen in der Oberlausitz/ Kurfürstentum Sachsen; † 24. Februar 1734 in Kemnitz bei Bernstadt an der Eigen) war ein deutscher evangelisch-lutherischer Pfarrer und Lieddichter. Mentzer besuchte das Gymnasium in Bautzen und studierte anschließend Theologie an der Universität in Wittenberg. Nach Abschluss des Studiums trat er 1691 seine erste Stelle als Pfarrer in Merzdorf an, zwei Jahre später wurde er nach Hauswalde bei Dresden berufen und schließlich 1696 zum Pfarrer in Kemnitz ernannt, wo er bis zu seinem Tode blieb. Mentzer gehörte einem Dichterkreis an, der durch den aufkommenden Pietismus geprägt war, und der als Zweite schlesische Schule bezeichnet wird. Von seinen zahlreichen Lieddichtungen wurden etwa 40 veröffentlicht. 1704 erschien im Freylinghausenschen Gesangbuch sein bekanntestes Lied 'O dass ich tausend Zungen hätte', das sich auch im Evangelischen Gesangbuch (EG) von 1993 unter Liednummer 330 findet.

This is in the conservatory out the back of our kitchen. In the winter we use it to keep the beer cold, but in the summer we open the door and it keeps the kitchen and living room warm!
I'm a weekly commuter - I spend my weekends at home and my weekdays in a tiny flat. The colour scheme is ghastly... The rent is cheap...
I'm afraid that I'm sick as a dog at the moment with some virus I picked up in the States. Drugged up to the eyeballs and feeling sorry for myself.
Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible...
An attempt at making boring office lighting a bit more intersting.
Trying my hardest to create using inspiration from NIN's 'Ghosts' album artwork (www.flickr.com/photos/nineinchnails/4493734001/in/photost...) which was photographed by Phillip Graybill and Rob Sheridan.
One of the pavilions at the Venice Biennale, created by Greece, was a surreal experience. You went up these stairs and were guided along a platform above a floor of water. At the end there was this one shaft of light and it created a leading path which at first you didn't know where your were going to go.
The inside of one of several large abstract 'sheath' light fittings that punctuate the main hall in the Metquarter shopping centre, Liverpool, and look especially effective with the addition of coloured light by night.

Maybe photography has saved my life for I was not underneath it. I was taking photos in the garden and came in to find the mess. No water involved. It's completely dry. It is where we had a water leak over 2 years ago and the emergency plumber who came was very cavalier and let water pour through that light fitting quite a lot whilst doing the repairs. Now we've had some hot weather I guess it has dried a lot so fallen. Also we have a lot of heavy lorries go by outside here and builders have been doing heavy work next door, also cavalier methods.
Due to long term health problems I am not taking on any more contacts. Please see my profile for more details.
I am very grateful for single invites but really don't want multiple ones. PLEASE no personal graphics, spinning or flashing comments. They stress my eyes.

This was a common sight- note that the Hotel has received an award as recently as 2007 but it looks completely derelict? The moment a building is not used in Bulgaria, it is stripped of anything of worth, windows, doorframes, lightfittings etc for use elsewhere.

Design Exquis is an exercise in "random design", inspired, it seems, by a drawing game played by the surrealists.
A designer is given an object, and has one month to make a design inspired
by that object.
Then he has to pass his object on to the next designer, but does not reveal
his identity. Nor may he reveal any details about the design - what it
represents, how it has been made etc, all must remain secret.
Designer number two has one month to create his response.
Then he passes that on to the next designer.
In this exercise, for Clerkenwell Design Week, there were four designers. I
spoke to three of them, and I have to confess that without their
explanations, I would have been mystified.
Dominic Wilcox received James Plant's Breathe lamp, but was unable to fathom its meaning. So he decided to challenge the simple assumption that only lightfittings can be fitted into ceiling lamp holders.
He created Sound Bulbs, which adapts a vintage radio to plug into a ceiling socket, and a ghetto blaster to plug into a table lamp.

We have never seen posts quite like these before. They are not converted Verandah columns, they do seem to be original Lamp posts with cast 'outlets' for lamps around the capital area.
